THE BEGINNING
After the conversation, the story began
01THE QUESTION
After speaking English, I always had questions
“Did what I just said sound natural?”“What should I have said in that moment?”
Each time, I’d ask a friend who spoke English well about what I had said.
I think it was fine!
But you could also say…
But you could also say…
That sounds more natural!
Thank you.
Thank you.
02MORE THAN CORRECTIONS
My friend didn’t just fix grammar
She didn’t stop at pointing out mistakes — she suggested what would sound more natural in that situation, and when I could use it.
03A FRIEND NAMED MELISSA
Her name was Melissa
Looking back, I never wanted a perfect teacher. I wanted a friend who listened to what I actually said and helped me say it a little better next time.
From a friend’s name to your English friend.
