How to sound more natural when you speak English
You can be perfectly correct and still sound stiff or 'textbook'. Natural English isn't about harder words — it's the small things: contractions ("I'm", "don't"), everyday phrases, natural fillers, and the rhythm of real speech.
The shift comes from hearing and using natural English, not studying more rules. Use contractions instead of full forms, learn common expressions the way people really say them, and let your sentences flow with stress and pauses instead of a flat, word-by-word delivery.
Practising this out loud is what locks it in. Talk to Airi about everyday things and copy how she phrases replies — the contractions, the casual connectors, the rhythm. She corrects gently and models natural speech, so over time you stop translating textbook sentences and start sounding like yourself in English.
