  1. Learn Phrasal Verbs: These are often more natural than using simple verbs (e.g., “get along with” instead of “like”).

  2. Use Contractions: Native speakers say "don’t" instead of "do not."

  3. Slow Down: Speaking too quickly can sound unnatural.

  4. Master Intonation and Stress: Practice where to emphasize words in a sentence.

  5. Listen to Native Speakers: Pay attention to how they phrase sentences and use slang.

  6. Practice with Native Speakers: Engage in casual conversations to develop a natural flow.
