For some, great English conversations come easily and effortlessly. Conversation is so common that its power and potential may be taken for granted. For those who need extra work to have great conversations, that power is easily and effortlessly seen as a goal to be reached.
For those learning English as a second language gaining confidence, fluency, and comprehension in conversation can take decades.
For those with speech, voice, and language differences the improper use of words, reduced vocabulary, and inability to express themselves freely can become deblitating.
For the neurodiverse conversations can feel foreign and restricting, the demand to seem and sound “typical” overwhelming, and physically draining.
For those with anxieties conversations can feel like a full body battle going against the rushing urge to escape with moments of going blank or saying something “wrong”.
