How does the impostor syndrome affect us when speaking English as a second language? And why do we feel that even when we do a good job in English - we, in fact, failed and we can’t seem to understand how others haven’t noticed just how bad our English is.
Thinking that our English is a lot worse than what other people perceive it to be makes us feel like impostors.
From my experience, as an accent teacher as well as an English learner, it has to do with the way we learned or learn English and how we consume it. We always compare ourselves to native speakers, and it makes us feel we’re not enough when it comes to communicating in English. And on top of that, we constantly hear this saying, "Speak like a native", which only accentuates the gap between us and them - between how we are expected to perform, and how we really are. Even though we ALL make mistakes. Even native speakers make mistakes!

Questions you probably want to ask me:
🗣️Are you a native speaker? NO
🌏Where are you from? Tel-Aviv, Israel (I speak Hebrew)
❓ How did you lose your accent? I learned acting in NYC and acquired an #AmericanAccent. So I never really lost anything;) I talk about it here: https://goo.gl/PShZ9s

🤔 How can I speak like a native speaker?
First, you need to decide what your goals are. Are you looking to lose your accent so people won’t recognize that you’re not a native speaker? Or you simply want to speak with clarity and confidence?
Whatever it is, you need to know that a foreign accent is not a bad thing. It's a part of your identity. Of who you are. Your goal should be to sound clear and get people to do what you want them to do. You want to feel confident in your English voice so that you never let your English hold you back or prevent you from achieving your goals. Aiming to ‘speak like a native' creates an unfair expectation of yourself and can make you feel like you’re never good enough. #CommunicationOverPerfection #speaklikeyourself
