Certified Toastmaster for over 20 years.

Proud of my native language, which has become the #1 international language all on its own.

Four guidelines for becoming fluent in the English language:

1. Listen
2. Speak slowly - when in an English-speaking room be conscious that the attendees are at different levels of learning the language. You want everyone to be able to understand you.
3. Breathe - important to breathe when speaking
4. Work toward THINKING in English (this will lessen hesitations). Eventually, thinking in English becomes muscle memory.

A Native conversationalist, born and raised in the USA.

Retired after working 48 years. Spending time as a volunteer, supporting others exposed to rape and domestic violence; assisting at a food pantry; and mentoring and tutoring young adults.

Voracious reader and knowledge junkie.
