YouTube video excerpt (creator/speaker Hadar Shemesh) reflecting on a NYC student meetup. The excerpt emphasizes the importance of a safe, supportive community for people learning English — it increases motivation, makes progress more possible, keeps learners on track, and fosters strong relationships; the meetup felt like a family.
I also want to say how important it is to have a safe community to be a part of. I still see the incredible need we have for a community, especially when it comes to learning English. Because when you practice your English or you learn in a safe environment or in a safe space with people who know exactly what you're going through, it gives you so much more motivation, but also it makes it more possible and keeps you on track, and it creates such incredible relationships. And we've seen that on that day where we met, because it really did feel like a family. Wow.
