Oh, starting off with a clear goal: sounding more like a native speaker, but with an important caveat about clarity being the priority. That's a good way to set expectations.
This idea of 'phrasing' instead of word-by-word is really hitting home. The example of 'I live in Spain. I like it a lot' versus speaking it all jumbled is so clear. It makes so much sense for fluency.
Thinking in phrases or clauses, like the relative clause example, is a game-changer. The 'If I had more money, I'd buy a new car' illustration shows how it creates a much smoother flow. This is definitely something to practice consciously.
