“Why prioritize ‘Connection before Perfection'?
Mastering spoken English is like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, not just in Brazil but around the world. Many aspire to boost their careers, social interactions, and knowledge through this global language. However, why does speaking English fluently often prove to be more challenging than writing or listening comprehension?
The answer lies in the frequency of our speaking habits. Success in language fluency is not solely about planning or desiring it; it's about consistent practice. As James Clear, the author of ‘Atomic Habits,' aptly puts it, our habits are the cumulative result of our daily actions, not just our desire to acquire a skill. This concept is particularly true for those learning to speak another language.
Our brains are wired through repetitions, and our environment plays a pivotal role. Speaking English isn't about starting perfectly or achieving flawless results; it's about immersing yourself in the language and building social connections. You can talk to your gym trainer daily and watch weightlifting videos, but it's only by lifting the actual 50kg weights that you make progress. You need to become what you desire, and transitioning from the comfort of the beach to the deeper waters requires taking those initial steps, facing smaller challenges, and fully immersing yourself.
The ‘law of least effort' dictates that the easiest path between two points is the one requiring the least effort. With our new platform, my aim is to connect you to English conversations effortlessly, helping you establish the speaking habits you need to become a proficient speaker. We've streamlined the process, reducing the number of clicks and enhancing loading times to keep your focus on building the habit, not on how to initiate it.
‘Connection before Perfection' signifies getting closer to people and social experiences, practising consistently until perfection is attained through the quality of your English-language relationships. It's about embracing the journey, engaging in conversations, and, in time, achieving mastery through meaningful interactions.”
