How She Stopped Avoiding English and Started Thriving

“Difficult doesn’t mean impossible, and direction is more important than speed.” That’s a quote from the wonderful interview I’m having today with my dear student, Luciana! Her story will inspire you to keep going, no matter where you are on your English journey.

In this video, Luciana, a UX designer from Brazil now living in Portugal, shares how she went from avoiding speaking English and feeling awkward in meetings… to hosting conversation groups, creating videos, and speaking confidently every single day.

We talk about:
– How she shifted her mindset from fear to joy
– Why community and accountability are game-changers
– How pronunciation work improved her fluency AND listening skills

If you’ve ever thought you’re too old to improve, or that fluency is impossible without living in an English-speaking country, Luciana is living proof that it’s possible.

Luciana is a student of both my New Sound and Beyond programs!
