The Secret to Sounding More Natural in English

Friday, 14.03.2025, 15:30-17:00 EET (Bucharest Time)

Have you ever been in an argument and given this reply: It's not what you say, but how you say it? Nonverbal communication has such a huge impact on how we perceive information and the speaker—whether we trust, like, or believe them.

Sure, you're aware of this in your first language. But in English? You're probably so focused on speaking correctly and finding the right words that you ignore the nonverbal. You might think it will come naturally, but that's not the case! When you're nervous, not confident, or searching for words, your nonverbal cues will give it away first. This is why you don’t sound as natural and convincing in English as you do in your first language.

In this session, we'll focus on mastering the nonverbal aspects of communication—intonation, pauses, and emphasis—to make your English sound more natural and confident. You’ll learn techniques to control how you say things, ensuring your message not only gets across but also sticks with your audience.

When I started these classes I wasn't able to speak in English in front of anybody. I was running away from meetings with foreign people. But now I'm the first who speaks in a meeting!

These lessons exceeded my expectations. Ruxandra is positive and well-prepared, and she gives feedback to every participant. I always came with a lot of enthusiasm to each session and left filled with positive energy.
