Your English is fine. It just doesn’t sound like you.

You know what you want to say. The thought is clear.
But when you type it out or say it in a meeting, you sound like a textbook or a translation, not like yourself.

Part of it is translation. You think it in Ukrainian, you find the English word, and the sentence arrives — correct, but a little simplified or distant.

The meaning is the same. But it doesn't sound like someone who thinks in Ukrainian and lives in English.

This guide gives you 20 phrases organized by situation. Each one comes with the Ukrainian equivalent you're probably reaching for, a natural English alternative, and a note on what to avoid.

What's inside

You don't need to learn all 20 at once. Pick three that fit your week and use them. That's how they become yours.
