Good stuff. Wanted to add some stuff to the practice section that really helped me- if there are certain words/phrases you struggle with, find times to practice them almost daily. For example, I used to really struggle saying “hello” when answering the phone. So I started saying “hello” to people where ever I went, even if it wasn’t always the most appropriate response (Started with family and went to strangers in public). After a couple weeks of this, made a huge difference. I almost never struggle with hello now in the phone (still do at times but we shouldn’t shoot for 100% fluency). Also did this with “hey” lol. Still gets me a lot but that’s okay. Hope this helps!
