I teach a self-study exploratory practice approach to learning a foreign language. The result of this method is that people move beyond the levels of "Advanced" and "Proficient", and instead of fixating on achieving a certain "level", they invest in building a deliberate practice routine that might never end.I show strategies and tools to build a meaningful practice routine for those who need more than the "advanced" level. I share my own process, and I teach the system of very concrete yet very creative exercises that help us develop the necessary skills to get to native-like fluency.They are: - attentiveness - listening & short-term memory - clarity - brevity - writing - rhythm - articles - questioning your own ideas - diction - LEARNING HOW TO LEARNThis episode is about brevity - the art of speaking less while saying more in a foreign language.I'm going to share:- Why it's frustrating - Why it's normal - Tips to include brevity in your practice routine - Exercises that helpFind more exercises on BREVITY in our Community of Practice (use the search bar to find hashtag #brevity) https://community.nataliatokar.me/See the post in the Community of Practice to see the links I mentioned in the podcast community.nataliatokar.me/c/ask-anything/brevity
