Speak Natural (American) English with Confidence|Friendly Conversation Practice Living a lifelong dream traveling the world, writing fiction, and hearing so many languages and accents! I'm a Southern California native who owned a chiropractic & acupuncture practice for 20 years and now I'm living my nomad chapter. Today, I'm in Australia, next is New Zealand, then who knows? I speak French around B1–B2, love animals, and once finished an Ironman triathlon—without dying 😅. Want to speak more natural, confident English? As a language learner, I know how frustrating it is when you understand more than you can comfortably say. My lessons are best for intermediate and advanced learners who want to become more confident and natural in conversation. I'm friendly, patient, and genuinely curious about people, so we'll have plenty to talk about: everyday life, travel, business, health, science, or whatever interests you! Conversation shouldn't feel like pulling teeth (a common English expression). If you can't think of anything to say, I'll guide the way. As we talk, I can help with grammar, word choice, pronunciation, and the subtle differences between textbook English and how native speakers talk, including slang and idioms. We can role-play real-life situations—travel, doctors' appointments, work, housing—or focus on questions you bring to me. Most importantly, you get to spend your lesson actually using English. Don't worry about preparing or making mistakes. Bring your goals, your questions, or simply yourself, and we'll talk. 🙂
