first one is learning through osmosis this means learning from your environment if you think of how babies learn to talk they don't learn to talk by reading textbooks or watching courses or tiktok videos they learn from their environment they'll learn from people speaking around them they pick up those habits we do the same exact thing we learn habits from people around us even when we're not consciously paying attention so for you surround yourself with people who speak like you watch videos of people who speak like you and if you look at people who are learning a language they always surround themselves with people who speak that language number to become aware of the areas you need to improve the only way you could do this is by recording yourself speak or by working with a coach who can see you from the outside once you know what mistakes you're making what challenges you have then you go to point number three which is to take action to fix all those things you recorded yourself and now you know you have an issue with ums and uhs you say like a lot you talk really really fast and no one knows what you're saying now you know when you talk you have to talk a bit slower you need to eliminate your filler words because you are aware of the problem then you will take action to fix those problems the last thing you will do is you will look at other people around you and then you will look for what are they doing well what are they not doing well when you're conscious of this wherever you go you're consciously making notes in your head and fixing your own behavior
