Today, Lindsay and Michelle discuss how to go from obsessing over the rules, to freeing your mind to get more creative with your English!
Learning English can be a lot like learning a musical instrument. In the beginning, you might focus intensely on the rules. You have to, because you need a foundation — you can’t improvise without that.
But once you know the basic rules, you need to think about exploring and experimenting, and fluency. Think about learning English as a creative process.
Also, remember that connecting to other people isn’t a matter of rules. It’s a matter of fluid interaction. For that, you need to put down the grammar book and be willing to make mistakes.
Are the rules holding you up?
