Bonus Masterclass: Make your pronunciation in English SIMPLE and CLEAR (limited time)

Welcome to the Influency Podcast. I'm Hadar, and today I have a very special episode for you because today I'm sharing a bonus episode for 72 hours only. And that is the recording of my recent masterclass, how to make your English pronunciation simple and clear. So be sure to make time for this masterclass because it's going to be available for a limited time. At the end of the masterclass, you'll also hear me talk about new sound, which is my English pronunciation coaching program. So. So if you've been thinking about making a change in your English still in 2025, stay until the end to hear how I can support you with that mission. All right, let's go ahead and listen to the masterclass. We are just going to get started. The title of this workshop is how to make your pronunciation in English simple and clear in three steps. Now, before we start, I want to ask you for something important because this training is packed with value, which means that if you want to make the best out of our time together, you want to stay focused, which means no to this. Put your phone on, do not disturb or silent, close all web browsers, tell everyone I'm busy, my friends, for the next 60 minutes, and shut the door. Because the more present you are, the more value you'll get. All I'm asking for is just your focus because you're already here. And then you can actually benefit from it if you stay focused. And the more value you get, the quicker you'll be able to make your pronunciation simple and clear and transform your English. Now, let's kind of like reset, okay, and say, why are we even here? Why are you here? You're here for a reason. You're here because you've worked hard to learn English. You've studied, practiced, watched videos, and maybe taken a few courses, right? But when you try to speak, something holds you back. And I have worked with thousands and thousands of English learners from around the world, and most of them tell me the same thing. And I want you to put yes in the comments. If any of this sounds familiar. I want to improve my pronunciation so I can finally communicate what I need to clearly and confidently. If this is you, put yes in the comments. I feel like a limited version of myself in English and I want more. I've been stuck for a while and I don't know how to reach a breakthrough. If this is you, put yes in the comments. And maybe this is you. I'm doing my best, but all I hear is that voice in my head telling Me, I'm not good enough. Most of us know this voice, but for some of us it might be even stronger when it comes to English. So if this is you, just put yes and see that you're not alone in this. And maybe this is you. I'm so overwhelmed. I wish someone would just listen to me and tell me this is what you do next. There are all these options and there's so much content outside. And it's kind of like what do I do to just improve so I don't have to work 12 hour days just practicing my English. And maybe this is you. Maybe you don't want to. You don't want English to get in the way of your dreams. And you say to yourself, I want more in life. And my English is getting in the way now. And I know it doesn't have to be this way. If you said yes to any of these sentences, I want you to know that you are in the right place. I hear you. I get you. You're not alone. I have been there. Many of my students have been there. Many of my students who are no longer there have been there. And today you're going to discover that this is possible to change. Because here's the thing between us and the world. Mastering a second language is hard if you don't have the right system to follow. But and here's the good news. It is possible to speak English and feel expressive and funny and interesting and confident and clear. And it is possible to enjoy speaking English and to confidently say yes to opportunities to any opportunity that comes your way. And in this training, I'm going to show you how to do that. But first, let me tell you why. I know this is possible for you. I know this is possible for you. Because I have gone through this transformation myself. So this is me growing up, having no one who spoke English around me. I didn't grow up in an English speaking country. This is my cousin's dog. And the only time I was exposed to English was when my uncle from the US would come visit us once a year. And in fact my high, the. My grades in high school were not great. This is my final grade in high school. But when I was 20, I decided to move to New York to study acting. Because that was my lifelong dream. To live in New York and become an actress. But just like you, I struggled with feeling confident, fluent and clear. And even more so like I really wanted to belong. I really wanted people to not ask me about where is from or to talk about my English or my exotic accent. And I hated it when people asked me, oh, where are you from? In fact, I'm going to tell you something that you may already know. But when I moved to New York when I was 20, I didn't want to call myself Hadar because I didn't want people start asking me about where I was from and my origin. And I was like, I'm just going to name myself Julia and I'm going to say that I'm from the US So they won't, you know, like that I would have more opportunities. But then every time I would talk to someone, they would be like, oh, Julia, what a beautiful name. So where are you from, Julia? And English was always like a challenge for me because I felt like I wanted more and my English was really limiting me. And when I joined acting school, the thing was that I always felt that I had to work so much harder than my English speaking classmates. I had to do extra speech work. I had to work harder to memorize any text. I had to work harder to just express myself in the most basic lessons. And it just felt that it was just super easy for everyone else. And in one class, there was one improv class that I vividly remember because that was kind of like a turning point in my life. Improv was never easy for me, even in my first language. But in English, it's even harder because you have to think fast and speak fast and it has to be funny and it has to be witty. And my partner was doing all these things. We were on stage and everyone was watching and my partner was like doing all these funny things. And then I had to speak and I completely froze. Like I, I, my mind was blank. I knew what I wanted to say, but the words just didn't come out. Like I didn't know how to say it exactly in English. And I froze. And then because of that fear, I couldn't continue. And eventually I just sat down and after class I was like crying and I was so, so I felt so sorry for myself. I was like, why is it so hard for me? And then I said to myself, okay, Hadar, either you can feel bad for yourself or you can continue with your passion and with your dream and you need to do something about it. And at that moment, I made a commitment to myself to never let English get in the way of my dreams. It was closer to the end of the first year. So between the first year and the second year, during summer break, I decided to focus on, on my English and my pronunciation classes. I worked with two of the best dialect coaches in New York City. It worked really hard during the day. At night, I would go and bartend. I was bartending at the. At a jazz club in the Village, and I would kind of, like, put into practice what I've learned. And at the beginning of the second year, I didn't feel like a lot of things were changing. But when I showed up in the. On the first day of the second year, my friend who hasn't spoken to me all summer, she said, oh, wow, you sound amazing. What happened? What did you do? And it wasn't just my pronunciation that has improved. It was my entire confidence that changed in my voice and how I showed up. I was just like, relaxed and more comfortable and more kind of like in my body. And my experience speaking English has transformed completely. And it has transformed my experience in the second year of acting school as well as in my personal life. So after I had moved back out of the US I decided to invest my time into taking what I've learned and to teach it to other people. I started teaching privately in small groups, one on one. Then I started my YouTube channel. And today I am so honored and so proud that I get to teach so many students around the world. So this is what's possible for me, thanks to English. Over the last 17 years, I've had over 17,000 students around the world in my online programs and school. I've trained teams in the largest companies such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook, wix. I even helped Google develop their ipa, their pronunciation tool that is being used by millions of users every single day. And I have over 4 million subscribers across all content platforms. I'm telling you this because I want to show you what it's like to use my voice to connect and make a difference. And. And it's possible thanks to English. And I created a life I love once I stopped saying no to showing up in English because let me tell you a secret. When I started teaching pronunciation one on one, I didn't do it in English. I did it in Hebrew, which is my first language. And then it took me a while until I said to myself, hadar, you can. You can just do it in English. And I said no. And that has transformed how I showed up. And I learned how to let go of judgment and feel free when I speak. Speak even when it's not perfect. And I want you to know that I'm not here to tell you my story because it's special. I'm sharing it because it's not. And I'm going to share Other stories that are not just my story to tell you that it's not that we're special or talented. My struggles were the same as yours, the same mindset struggles and pronunciation struggles. And if I could find a way through them, so can you. Okay. And here's what I know to be true when it comes to speaking a second language. There are no shortcuts, there are no secret techniques, and there is no fluent in three months. Even though, like, we would all love to get that secret formula get that gets us fluent in three days. No. Or three months. Speaking with clarity, with confidence and freedom takes time, effort and practice. But the good news is there is a proven path open that can open up a world of opportunities for you. Like making new friends from around the world or getting a better job or asking for a promotion and getting it moving to a different country, becoming English teachers, starting a business, or just proving to yourself that it's possible. Now, that path is called New Sound. I'm very, very proud of it and I'll tell you more about it later if you'd like to hear about it. But for now, I want to focus on an aspect that is related to confidence and fluency and pronunciation, of course, in our workshop today called how to make your pronunciation in English simple and clear. And it's not just for you to be able to speak so that people understand. It's also for your confidence because it really boosts your confidence and your ability to speak. It helps you understand other speakers better. It this work pronunciation work helps you with fluency with grammar because you repeat out loud drills in grammatical structures that you understand subconsciously active vocabulary. You'll see that your words are a lot more available and working in your pronunciation and prosody, intonation, rhythm and stress. It creates rapport, which is a sense of trust and harmony when you speak to other people. Things that you automatically usually have in your first language, but it's taken away from you a lot of times when you move into English, a lot of times because you're also just insecure so you can't fully, fully show up like yourself. It also changes your ability to say what you want and get what you need. What you'll learn in today's training is how to avoid the tension and strain that make you feel tired when using English and the impact of feeling tired. I'm going to teach you how to confidently use what you learn in real life and how to build unshakable confidence and be proud of how you sound. So let's do it. If you're doing other things. Come back because now we're starting with the work. Okay, step number one, stop putting so much effort into speaking in English. And here's why. And here's what happens when speaking feels like work. First of all, you feel tension and effort and every time you speak so it doesn't feel as easy and natural as it is in your first language. You get tired or lose your voice after conversations. Also not something that we want. It doesn't have to be this way. You don't feel natural when you speak. You always feel like a fake version of yourself or like you need to put on a mask almost. And you start taking breaks from speaking English because it's too much, it's too hard, it's too intense and you need a break. And then when you do that, obviously you speak less and you avoid opportunities, you practice less and avoid conversations, which impacts your confidence and your fluency. So I want to ask you if this is, if this is something that you experience, do you invest more energy in English than in your native language? So on a scale of 1 to 10, if one is, everything is easy. I feel in English like I feel in my first language. Please don't touch a hadar. Put a one, put one in the comments and then choose a number between a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 would be. I feel like I have 100 pound weight on my tongue and jaw. Where would you position yourself? Sabrina is like, I'm not playing games. I'm a 10. Tell me how to fix that. Right, so we have 8, 6, 5, 6, 7. Right. Between 7, 8. Yeah, that's usually somewhere between 5 and 10. Right. Unless you've done the work. Unless you've already turned English into a language that is easier. I see Katya in the chat. So. Hi, Katya. So like sometimes when you do the work, then it's it. You teach yourself how to put less effort. Five, six. Yes. Eight, nine. Okay, so I think that what I'm going to share with you is going to be extremely relevant. So what causes this tension? There are two main reasons that, or two main elements that cause this tension that you feel, which is why you scale yourself between 5 to 10. Most of you did. The first one is physical, actual physical tension that is invested when you are speaking in English and it's caused because of over pronunciation and, and strain. The second type of tension is mental. It's not. It's as challenging and it's all about rethinking and overthinking. So let's Start with physical tension. The first thing about physical tension, why we have physical tension, is you're emphasizing every single sound. You're pronouncing more sounds than exist in English. In English, not every sound or every word is stressed. And if you end up stressing more words and more sounds, you're investing more energy, okay, because you don't have to. For example, in words. Say this word out loud. Say it again. Now, if we look at this word and you've never learned how to pronounce this word, you might say something like particularly, particularly. Which is fine, it's clear. But you're pronouncing almost every single word and sound. The actual pronunciation of this word is particularly, particularly, particularly. And some people might even drop the R at the beginning completely. Particularly, particularly, Particularly, particularly. So I kind of like squeeze the word and removed a lot of the sounds. There is. There isn't the r and there isn't the u particular, and there isn't the lar. Right? I'm reducing it. It's not that I'm doing it. It's not mumbling. That sound doesn't exist. There is a letter, but that letter is a schwa. It's a reduced vowel. So it means that it's completely neutral. Particularly, okay? So I'm not investing. Now, think of a sentence or a paragraph or a story that you need to tell, and you do that with maybe every other word that has two syllables and more. So you end up making a lot of sounds that actually don't exist just because you learned English through reading and writing and you associate every vowel letter with a pure vowel sound, whereas in reality, half of these sounds are completely reduced. Same thing with this. Say this word out loud. Now, if you were saying something like comfort table, comfortable, the actual pronounce pronunciation is comfortable, comfortable. Or you can even put the R there. Comfortable, comfortable. Either one is more lean and less effortful than comfort table. Now, again, this is just not what one word, Not a big deal. But what happens when you have 10 words or 20 words or 50 words and every word? You start adding extra sounds that don't exist. And I'm going to tell you even more. So it's not just for single words that have more than two, three syllables. It's also in sentences. So please say that sentence out loud. I'm going to take a sip of water in the meantime. So you might be saying something like, what are you going to do about it? Okay, what are you going to do about it? But the idea in English that you put the Effort and time into the words that are stressed do. That's it. And everything else that is a little less important is kind of reduced. So instead of what are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it? It's not mumbling. It's a very efficient way to put the stress and emphasis into the important words, whereas everything else is. Receives a lot less effort and tension so that you can invest your energy in what matters. Now, English speakers don't learn it. It's something that they're born into, and they do intuitively. But if you don't have that in your first language, you're like, it's really hard to apply it without knowing it. So you might emphasize every single word. What are you going to do about it? That's how we learn also in school, like say every single word and it's okay. But there comes a point, especially if you feel like you invest a lot of energy where you want to use these reductions. But what are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it? When you don't stress every sound in every word, you invest less energy. So we want to dial it down a little bit, okay? So we don't emphasize every syllable and every word. Now, the second reason is that when we do pronounce sounds, consonants in particular, but also vowels, then we want to make sure that we optimize our pronunciation. So. So we don't over pronounce. Because sometimes when we learn English, and especially when we learn pronunciation. See, what I'm doing right now, I'm exaggerating because I want to get it right, but I feel that I'm investing way too much energy than I need to. And it doesn't have to be this way. If you know exactly what you need to do with your mouth, with your lips, with your, you know, with your jaw, there is no need to overdo it to sound clear. Now, there are a few sounds that people do it in particular, and I'm going to tell you what those are. The American R. A lot of people, they really turn up the cheeks here and lock the jaw when pronouncing the R. R. We don't need that. The R is fully pronounced when the tongue clicks to the right place and you round your lips a little bit like a W. R Red, right. Result. So if you pronounce the R and you feel like you're holding your jaw more than you do for other sounds and. And there is a little bit of tension Here, just be mindful of it and make sure that you just let go. Okay. You don't use so much of the jaw and the muscles here. Same thing with the th. A lot of times people stick the tongue out for the th. Yes, you need to. For the th. Think and they. But what happens if you don't have that sound in your first language where your tongue has to be out? Then what happens is that they kind of like start tensing up everything here. Think they. Right. Like what I'm doing here. No need. Think they. It's really about just like that subtle, nuanced contact between the tongue and teeth that makes the sound. You don't need the lips. You don't need to push the tongue against the upper palate. Think. Then it's going to sound like a T anyway. So, right, like, you just, like, need to remember that it's bringing the tongue to the right place and positioning everything in your mouth in the right place that makes you create the sound. You don't need to overdo it. Another sound is the E sound. E as in C. A lot of times people try to really over pronounce it. See, we feel. Pull the lips, pull the cheeks up, tense the throat. No need. The tongue rolls up like the Y sound, as in, yes, Y. Y. Yeah. That's the placement of the tongue for the E. Practice it with me. See, we feel. Teach. Season. Okay. Not season. See, we. Now, if you've never done any type of pronunciation work, you might be even like, I. I don't even know what this is sound is. Which is fine. It's okay. But I'm just giving you examples of what happens once you start learning that there is a difference between E and E. Sheep and chip, reach and rich. And you want to be like, okay, I want to be at a place where I can make that distinction. And then you might be over pronouncing it. And I'm saying, just get the. Optimize your pronunciation, learn how to pronounce the sound right. And don't activate other articulation organs. The third thing that is going to cause physical tension is. So we talked about over pronouncing sounds just because you don't know the phonology of the language, how the language is organized in the brain, and all these reductions. So that is something that we learn, you know, like we teach. I teach it in my programs because it's essential for speaking clearly and effortlessly. The second thing is optimizing your pronunciation so you don't over pronounce sounds. And then the voice that produces the sounds. Right. It has an impact on how you sound and how you speak in English. If you strain your voice, if you use it wrong, like in a wrong way, or let's say in a less natural way or optimal way, it's going to affect your voice. It's going to affect how you feel in English. So my question is, does your voice in English different? I didn't fix the slide. Is your voice in English different than your voice in your first language? Forgive my typo. No one's perfect, you guys. Is your voice in English different, or does it sound differently than your voice in your first language? Yes or no? Yes. Okay. I think so. And you can do this little exercise where you just say something in your first language and then say it in English. You want to try that with me? Say, hi, how are you? How are you doing? In your first language first? And then say it in English and see if something changes. Now, the solution for that is that, first of all, you need to be aware what is going on in your voice is that there are three things or two typical things that happen when we shift into English. One is that we change the pitch. So for a lot of people, the voice is all of a sudden a lot lower in English. I'm working now with a few actors preparing them for a TV show. And one of the actresses, she's a French speaker. She has this beautiful, bright voice with a ring to it in French. And then whenever she speaks English, she drops down. And we're working on it like it's something that. It's like it's a habit. It doesn't work. She doesn't do it deliberately, but it's something that she's learned along the years, and it's not serving her. It's not her voice. She doesn't feel like she's expressing herself. And for actors, it's really important that they be able to, you know, use their emotions and have that expressiveness in their voice. So do you go higher a little bit? Do you go lower a little bit? Or do you just feel tension here in your throat? The solution, first of all, is immediately to release tension, right? Almost like you're, you know, you're walking like this, holding your shoulders up. Okay, relax, relax, relax, relax. The throat. There are a lot of muscles here. You can just relax them. Okay. Just by placing your hand on your throat, saying relax, taking a deep breath. Sometimes your hand on your chest. I'm safe. I can relax. I don't have to work so hard. I don't have to strain. Try doing it with me. Hey, what's up? How are you doing? Just repeat after me. Try to see if you can find that effortlessness in your voice. Hey, what's up? How are you doing? Yeah, yoga time for your voice. And the second thing is to find your optimal pitch, so to really know what your optimal pitch is so that you don't go higher or go lower. One of the ways to do that is to just hum whatever your natural hum is. If I tell you to hum, go immediately to your natural hum. That note is your baseline pitch. It's the pitch where your voice is most comfortable at. Hi, how are you doing? Hi, how are you doing? Right? And if your natural voice in English is, hi, how are you doing? And when you hum, it's up here. Hi, how are you doing? This is food for thought. It's like, why do I go so low in my pitch? Now, I know that sometimes people teach you to change your placements and resonance and all of that. And I feel that this is very, very advanced techniques that even public speakers use. Not just speakers of a second language, but when you are at, like, when you don't have a lot of experience speaking in public and when you don't have a lot of experience doing voice work and prosody work and you feel like your voice is not your voice, what's going to end up happening is that if you don't speak on your natural pitch, you're going to hurt your voice, it's going to get tired, you're going to get hoarse, right? Strain your voice. You're going to lose your voice often. And we don't want that. So that's physical tension. Now we want to talk about mental tension, because that's not less tiring than physical tension. It's not the actual muscles, it's your brain muscles. So let's, like, walk through how speech is created, right? So first of all, you have the thinking, right? You have the thoughts in your head, and then those thoughts need to be transformed into words. This is how it is in our first language. We think we speak, we think we speak, but then something happens in English, right? Do you know what that is? What happens? Like, you think and then what happens before you speak? There is the part in your brain, I call it the editor, right, that sits there, and the editor is like, wait a minute, you want to say, hey, nice to meet you. Wait, is it hey, nice to meet you, or hey, what's up? Or hey, like an editor that starts filtering what it is that you're saying, and you're just, like, rethinking and overthinking. Is this the right word? Is this the right pronunciation? Do you really know how to say it? How are you going to finish the sentence? And that voice in your head filters out what you initially wanted to say. So it slows you down, but it also prevents you from actually saying what you're thinking, because you are editing yourself, and then you're getting to speaking. And then after you speak, there is another part of the brain that starts second guessing what you just said, and maybe you still need to think and speak. So you're thinking about what you want to say, you're overthinking and rethinking what you're thinking, and then you're also second guessing what you already said. How tiring is that? How exhausting is that? So by the time something comes out of your mouth, it is so different than what you initially wanted to say. Am I right or am I right? So what we want to do is we want to eliminate the part that thinks, rethinks, overthinks, and second guesses whatever initial intention you have when you want to speak, just like it is when you feel completely fluent and like, English is second nature to you and just like it is in your first language. For some. For some people, this could be the situation in their first language as well. Okay. And we want to eliminate that in any language. The solution, they'll have to wait for. Step number two. Before that, I want to tell you the story of Fabio. Fabio. Before going through this type of training and doing pronunciation work and doing mindset work, he struggled to answer even the most basic questions, such as, what's your name? And where are you from? And even, like, it was physical. So before he would speak, his hands would shake and he would feel like his tongue is frozen. So do you know that? Like, heartbeats, sweaty palms. So all of that good stuff. But after he. He has done this work and he focused on really simplifying pronunciation and doing the mindset and confidence work, he was able to completely change his ability to communicate confidently. He even opened a YouTube channel in English, and he spent a whole summer traveling around Europe. And he communicated freely without fears from going to. From this to this in a rather short period of time because he did very intentional work around pronunciation and around mindset. So to sum up, optimizing your pronunciation and releasing unnecessary tension will for sure help you sound clearer, feel more natural in your voice, and. And energize your speech. And that allows you to move into step number two, which is you use what you learn automatically. How are you doing? Good. So this cute, heartbreaking, a little bit like this image that we're looking at. But also, I always, like, think of it as the endless frustration around learning without feeling like you're improving. Right. Do you know this feeling? Wait, Hadar. I'm doing the work. I'm learning English and practicing English. I've been practicing. We're learning English for 12 years. And I still feel like I can't express myself in front of more than two people, in front of anyone who's not my teacher. Right. So that's that hamster wheel where you are stuck putting in a lot of energy without seeing like you're moving anywhere. Okay. Have you felt that in English at any point, that being stuck in a plateau, you're doing the work and you're not moving anywhere? Yes or no? Put. Put it in the comments if yes. And when you do that, you're learning, you're learning, you're learning. I call it the illusion of learning. Right? Because you're doing the work, you're learning, you're experiencing. Exposing yourself to English. You're even speaking on a regular basis. But you feel like no matter what you do, when you think about the English that you know, you're like 80 fluent. I'm nearly there. I understand almost everything. I know what I want to say if I have time, if I need to write it. But when it's time to speak, I'm only 20 fluent. Something happens along the way that prevents me from. From taking all the English that I know and being able to express it fully. Am I right? Right. Like, it's not like I'm you. You've a lot of. You have experienced it. And it's not just in English. Sometimes it happens in other areas, but in English, it's so noticeable because you get it, you understand. But how can I speak like the other person in front of me, that I understand everything she says or he says, but I can't do the same thing. Why does it happen? And the thing is that I'm going to use this metaphor because I think it's so clear and it resonates with a lot of people. Imagine learning how to swim by only reading a book about swimming. If I were to ask you, hey, can I learn how to swim by just reading this really great book about swimming, you'll be like, no. I mean, it's nice to have. But what do you need to do to learn how to swim? The first Thing that you need to do to learn how to swim. What do you need to do? What do you need to do? You guys let me know in the chat. You need to swim. Exactly. You need to get in the freaking water, put on your bathing suit, get in the water and start moving your body. Okay? It may not be perfect. You may swallow some water, but you got to be in the freaking water and you got to move your body and you have to kind of like make movements and see what does it work and then change that and then see what does work and then continue until it's not hard, until you can do that same thing in English. Because English is a set of habits. And a quick reminder, a habit is something you do regularly or repeatedly, often without even thinking about it. So when we think of language, English is a set of habits, sounds. You don't want to think about your freaking R every time you speak or your sheep ship vowel pair. Or you don't want to, you know, like, sit and try to process all the words that you know that describe frustration before you pull out the word. You want it to be immediate. You want to think, speak it, think, speak. Right? And it doesn't happen if you don't have the habit of speaking it enough times until it's. It's up here. It's right here at the tip of your mouth, tip of your fingers. That's what I wanted to say. Grammar. Same thing. Like, do you really want to say, okay, I need to say something in the meeting, but let me see. Wait, It's. It belongs to the past, but it has a connection to the present. And maybe because it's a continuous action that I need the present. Perfect. Continuous. Okay, now I'm going to say, no, you guys, like, we cannot think about what grammar tense we need to use when we need to actually speak. To be able to use it regularly and immediately, it has to be a habit. So we need to remove the rethinking part. Right? From thinking to speaking. From thinking to speaking. So it's immediate. The only way to do it is through what. What do we need to do? Okay, how to build speaking habits. Not through watching YouTube videos or TV shows, not through reading and writing and not through watching more Netflix. Right. So I'm seeing speaking, study, speaking, practicing. Yes. Right. Like, you have to have it in your mouth. You have to use it. You have to actively practice. Building new speaking habits happens from repeated intentional practice. Okay. You can't say something once and then expect yourself to use it spontaneously when the stakes are high. When you're sitting in a meeting with your colleagues or with your neighbors or with your son's teacher. Now, how to build a habit. So here I want to quickly teach you about my pronunciation confidence method. The pronunciation confidence method is a method that I've developed based on my experience and how I learned grammar and vocabulary. And it wasn't through traditional classes. It was repetitions of texts, accurate texts, different texts, speech exercises that allowed me to learn sounds and words and grammar in new ways. Okay. Ways that did not work for me in high school, but they did a few years later when I was studying acting. So here's how. And then after years of teaching, this is what I developed, and I'm going to teach you that. So if you're doing other things, then come back here, because this is really important to understand why things haven't been working for you. In case you've done any pronunciation or learning, you know, fluency work. The first thing is perception. You need to be able to hear the target sound or the target grammatical structure so that you hear the difference between how it is in your first language and how you usually say it and how it is in English. So if I try to teach you about the aspirated P, not an important sound, but just for. As an example, as in the word pay, right? And you tend to say pay. And now you might say to yourself, what's the difference? Adar Bay. Pay. The difference is that one is a P without that puff of air. Bay versus pay. So let's say this is a sound that you want to improve. You first have to hear it, because if you can't hear it, you can't make it. Same for the sheep. Ship. Vowel here. Pool. Pull. Cap. Cup. Cup, Right. So all of these nuances, you first have to hear it and recognize it. Once you do, you need to learn how to make it. So pronunciation optimal. Speech not investing too much energy, making sure the tongue goes to the right place and you're not activating the rest of your mouth. Then repetition, intentional repetition, so you don't repeat the mistake, and you keep learning it the wrong way, building habits that don't serve you. So this is where intentional repetition comes in. So we have perception, pronunciation practice, and practice with intention, which is not just repeating words, phrases, and sentences that are written. Now, you want to speak freely. This is spontaneous speech, but paying attention to that one sound that you're trying to improve. When you follow these steps, you are a lot more likely to start using the sounds that you learn in real life without thinking about it. And I use it for pronunciation. And once my students establish it, when it comes to learning pronunciation through doing it again and again in all the drills, then we implement it into unto vocabulary and grammar as well. My friends, building new speaking habits means you're on the path to creating limitless fluency, not just on the path of speaking like a native speaker. Yeah, nice to have. That's not our goal. Our goal is to have limitless fluency, not flawless fluency. We don't care about mistakes as we care about your internal experience speaking and being able to say what you want clearly so that people understand and they feel you and they respond to you. And it's not about perfection. Okay? The story of Manuel is really an inspiring story because he. He moved to Spain and his daughters went to an international. To an international school with a British program. And when he arrived here, he had an A1 level of English. And he failed multiple job interviews due to lack of English proficiency, which was essential for the job that he wanted to land, which is a job as an engineer. And he really struggled to communicate with his daughter's school. And one day the school principal monitor called him and she said that his daughter hurt her head. And he couldn't understand what happened because his English was just not good enough. He couldn't even understand her. And he couldn't explain back home to his wife what had happened. And he said, no, I got to change. This was a game changer for him. And he decided to make a shift. He joined my program, and after that, he was able to communicate a lot more confidently, secured a better job after passing multiple interviews in English, even traveled to the Netherlands and had a successful meeting in English. He passed the Cambridge first exam with a high score. Look at that. And now he no longer needs subtitles to understand. And he communicates perfectly with the school administration. And for Norma, that has changed her social life completely. She's from Brazil. And she said, although I've been living in the US for many years, I used to make excuses for not having a social life. Right. I'm too busy. I don't know. I don't feel comfortable. They're not my Thai. Like, all these reasons for why it wasn't possible, when in fact, it was just like, she was embarrassed to show up in English. She felt like her English was not good enough. But now, after doing this very intentional work, minimizing the gap between the English that she knew and the English that she was using, so she was able to use more of the English that she knew Working on her mindset, she says, I'm accepting invitation for dinners, parties, and birthdays with Americans, whether her neighbors and colleagues. And this is incredible. This is life changing. It's not just getting more fluent. It's changing the circumstances of your life. And this is why I love the work that I do so incredibly much. Because it's not about English, it's about opening the possibilities for yourself. So even if you don't know what that would look like, once you do the work, you realize what it means for yourself and how you show up. And I love this quote, and I wanted to share that with you today. What can you do today that your future self will thank you for? Because, you know, like, think about the things that you can do now that may seem tiring or tedious or. Or like hard work, but at the end of the day, you're doing it not for the you now, in the present, even though there is a lot of value in it, but what you're going to gain from that work three months, six months, or two years from today. Now, that work has been invaluable for Anna, who before doing this work and before kind of like immersing in English work and being intentional about it, she used to feel panic and insecure about tutoring international students. And she hesitated to speak in front of large, diverse groups, especially in English, even though it was part of her life and work. And after doing the work, and she was in one of my programs, again, minimizing the gap between the English that she knew and the English that she spoke, and doing the mindset work and practicing effectively building habits. She accepted the offer to tutor international students, participated in European projects, and presented her work in front of 60 professionals in English, and conducts meetings in English without reading from a script or relying on prepared presentations. So this is possible for you too? But. There's always a but, right? What happens? Let's say that you do the work, you do the intentional practice, okay? You do the repetitions, you spec practice with ChatGPT, you do everything that hadar sprints, everything. You practice effectively, but you still feel like you want to hide whenever it's time to speak in English. Who here prefers to hide than to speak in English? Let me know in the chat. This is when we can talk about step number three, which is build unshakable confidence. Because without that, it doesn't matter how smooth and effortless your pronunciation is. It doesn't matter how minimal the gap between the English that you know and the English that you use. If you don't build unshakable confidence by design, with intention. You will not use that English when you're around people. And you will not show up as yourself which is one of the most important things to do in English and in life. So here's what I want to tell you. The way you think about your English will determine how you show up in English. So think about all the thoughts you have before speaking, while speaking and after speaking, okay? Think about them. Are they good? Are they negative? Are they neutral? Do they sound like this? People are going to think I'm a fraud or I sound fake or it's just so hard. Hadar. It's just hard, you know? It's just hard. Or I'm not good enough. What is the record that is playing in your head? I want you to think of one sentence that you keep hearing. Before speaking. During speaking. After speaking. Before practicing. During practicing. After sprack practicing. What is it for you? What does it sound like? I want you to put it. I see. It's hard. I see. It's not good enough. Nandita. I can do it. Love it, right? This is the direction that we. We want to go. I cannot understand. People will say, I. I don't understand your English. Not good enough. Not good enough. It's hard for me. Not good enough. Gosh, that phrase, right? I'm not good at that. I'm a disaster. Comparing to others could be better. It's not enough. Yeah, I see. Like that is the recurring thought. So let's think about it. When you have a thought. I'm not good enough, right? So when you think that that leads to a feeling. And that feeling is what? What does it make you feel when you think I'm not good enough? It makes you feel shame. It makes you feel sad. It makes you feel angry at yourself. Maybe disappointed, right? Maybe. Maybe frustrated, right? What is it for you? Anxious, right? I'm not good enough. Discouraged, embarrassed, right? All those negative feelings. And when you feel embarrassed or sad or frustrated or ashamed, what do you usually do? I know that when I feel shame and I'm not dealing with it well, what I do is I try to do everything that I can to not feel it. And usually it's not. You know, I go on my phone, I go to things, I go do things to distract me from what I'm feeling. I'm definitely not doing something that is useful that is going to help me come out of this situation. It's just so I don't feel it. So I don't feel it. Right. Okay. So usually when we feel a negative emotion, we either take action or don't take action that is aligned with that negative emotion. So what I usually see is that when someone feels shame because they feel like I'm not good enough, then they're probably not going to speak because they feel shame, right? And they're not going to share their thoughts. And maybe they're going to procrastinate practicing. And maybe they're going to say to an invitation, and maybe if they see that there is a promotion in their company, they'd be like, I'm not ready. Because they feel shame, because they feel that they're not good enough. And the result is that you stay stuck where you are. You're not improving, you're not progressing right? You're not putting yourself out there using English. When you have a negative thought in your head, you end up avoiding keeping quiet, limiting yourself, not showing up fully, feeling ashamed and not saying yes to opportunities. And all of these things keep you in that sense cycle where you feel like again, that hamster wheel, like, you know, putting in a lot of mental energy and maybe like you do practice. But you cannot see a breakthrough because you don't see yourself as a fluent speaker. You don't think it's even possible because you constantly think, I'm not good enough. And if you think that, how will you be good enough? How will you prove to yourself that you're good enough? If your brain just wants confirmation and that you're not good enough, that every mistake that you make is just proof, see you're not good enough. And from that it's so easy to stay small and not to grow and not to dare and not to even have the courage to do the most basic thing like picking up the phone. I see you. I know that you think it's ridiculous. I know that you don't want, that you don't like that. But I also know that these things prevent you from doing the most basic things that you are even ashamed to admit. But I know that if you start getting intentional about making a change in how you think or you know what, at least to recognize that these thoughts are keeping you small and keeping you limited and to say to yourself, I just. I'm just going to not believe those thoughts. I'm not going to get triggered by them. I'm going to choose not to stay there. Because if you want to change and have a breakthrough, you want to solve the root of the problem and really, really work on the, on your English in a way, from the inside in from how you think about it and how you feel and how you act. Transforming your English requirements requires you to transform your thoughts about your English. Not just your grammar, not just your sounds, not just your vocabulary. Jelena, before she joined my program where we do this intentional work and mindset work, you know, before that she was. She moved to the US she was a PhD researcher and she was afraid to speak in English and avoided using it daily. And she actually never asked questions in a set in scientific conferences, which is essential for her to move forward in her profession. And she actually lost sleep. She couldn't sleep at night. She was so worried about making mistakes in English after doing this work. Now she volunteers as a dance teacher in her local school. She made many friends and now has vibrant social life in the US and chats with professors after talks and sees mistakes as a normal part of learning. This has changed everything for her. And same thing for Francis who said, this course gave me back my confidence to communicate. Ultimately, it gave me back my superpower. If you are a person of words in your first language and you feel like a very pale version of yourself in English, this work can help you gain back your superpower, if that is language. Or Angelina, who said, before joining I felt like a fraud in English. New sound has completely transformed how I feel now. I'm a proud. I'm proud to be a bilingual speaker. How would you like to be a proud speaker of English as a second language? Remember, what got you here won't get you there. This is my mantra whenever I need to personally level up. Because I'm like, everything that I've done was good to get me to where I am today and I'm very grateful. But if I keep doing what I've always been doing, I'm just going to stay at the same level. But if I want to do something different and I want to get to my next level, I need to rethink this. I need to do things differently. What got you here won't get you there. So how about if you started hearing in your head speak instead of don't speak. What would that look like for you? I got this instead of I can't do it. I can figure this out. Instead of it's too hard. How about my mistakes don't define me and I'm going to behave as if this is my thought. Instead of mistakes are embarrassing and I'm going to keep quiet. What if you just said yes to opportunities instead of no? Even if you're not, if you don't Even if you don't feel ready, what would your reality look like then? Because I know this works. In New Sound, we address these challenges in depth and we've seen incredible results. So I know it works. For example, Carino said, before New Sound, I stayed in my comfort zone and didn't speak much. Now I can speak with confidence to my own employees, something I never imagined I'd be able to do again. Think of that, how that changed her day to day life. It's not just about being more fluent. Or Robin who said, now I feel relaxed, confident and at ease with English and who I am. Or Margarita who said, after New Sound, I truly became a confident, brave English speaker who can start conversations and share my thoughts even with people I don't know. Or Linda, who said, I thought I didn't have the talent to learn a new language. And this is another limiting thought, right? I just don't get it. It's just my brain. My brain is not wired to learn English well. I was very frustrated and I wanted to quit. I knew my approach to studying was all wrong and had to change. She joined New Sound and now she says, I believe it's possible to become fluent in English just speaking as myself. I'm sharing with you these stories because I want to tell you, you got this. This is possible for you too. So now let's put all that insight as into action as we wrap up. Step number one, stop putting so much energy into speaking English. Optimize your pronunciation and voice so you don't make it physically and mentally harder to speak and you'll create more ease and freedom in your speaking. Step number two, use what you learn automatically. Understand the steps of acquiring new sounds, the pronunciation confidence method, and recognize the elements that may prevent you from following through. And step number three, build unshakable confidence. Identify the beliefs that prevent you from showing up in in in the way of your success and work towards changing them. My friends, well, well done. You did it. And a few more words of inspiration from Aline. It feels like I found my voice finally. My confidence just keeps getting better. And Yana, who said, I'm able to speak confidently, slowly and without that fear of judgment. And my Myrna, who said, I feel more confident to speak up in meetings. I can even make a phone call instead of sending an email. And Julio said, I have been looking for so long to feel freedom when speaking English. And with New Sound, it is possible. My friends, you have a choice to make. Option number one, you can continue on your own, but risk being at the same place next year.

Both my listening and speaking skills noticeably improved. Before New Sound, my English was B1 and now it is C1. And it's not because we taught him all the content that he didn't know. It's because we minimize the gap between his level of knowledge of English and in his ability to actually communicate it.

So focusing on not just enhancing your passive knowledge, but enhancing your active knowledge is what we're doing here. And this is why the results are so noticeable in such a short period of time.

Now I'm more confident in my ability to communicate and I'm no longer intimidated to ask questions during meetings. Or the story of Monica who last summer had a job interview and she prepared really well for it but when it was time to speak she could not get the words out and the interview was a disaster. And then she joined New Sound and she had another job interview and she learned how to prepare, how to organize her speech, how to build her confidence and she nailed it and got the job and she was able to speak with passion and felt confident which is what people want to see. They don't care about if you used present perfect instead of present progressive. I don't, I don't know like they don't care about it. If you speak about what you do with confidence, clarity and with passion in a way that is understood, who cares about that extra S that you added by mistake? No one cares about it. And don't be fooled to think that this is what matters when it comes to human communication. Angela said, I went from not knowing how to improve my pronunciation to having tools I can use for life. Once you learn it, you cannot unlearn it, and that changes every single step from now on to the future. And you have lifetime access to everything if you feel like you need to come back to it. New sound gave me the confidence and structure way, structured way. I keep making up words here, apologies. New sound gave me confidence and a structured way to keep improving even after it ended. So you guys, you can get started today with only $97 today and then seven additional payments each 30 days apart of $97 each. Or you can pay in full, which is the actual price of the program, and save $79 and get a bonus, which is the public speaking bonus. For both programs, you get all the bonuses that I've mentioned. The reason why we break it into eight payments is just to make the full price of the program more feasible. The program itself is 12 weeks, but we wanted to make it feasible, so we have distributed it into eight payments. And if you need even smaller payments, we can make it possible for you. Just reach out to the team, right in the chat. If you go to the page, you'll be able to chat with someone from the team and you can ask for it. Now you might have some questions and the team has collected some questions from you. I'm going to answer first some of the key questions that people usually ask and then I'm going to go into individual questions. So the first thing, especially if you're new to online courses, how does it even work? So every week, starting September 29, which is not this Monday, but the following, you are going to get a series of lessons week by week, by week. Every two weeks there's going to be a review week and you're going to get new lessons, but they're not going to be new content. So it's not just going to help you reiterate and relearn what you've already learned. And during the first 12 weeks, so three full months of live coaching sessions, conversation groups, pronunciation lessons, and Q and A, all available at different time zones, we have students from all around the world. After 12 weeks, more bonuses unlock. So the 56 daily recordings, the voice module, the voice Bonus, you're going to get access to it a little later because you already have a lot when you join. We don't want to overwhelm you, so we kind of like distribute it. So at the end of the three months, you'll just have more surprises and more things that are accessible to you. And you will keep access to all the content and all the recordings for life. And you'll get lifetime support. After the. Even after the first 12 weeks, as a new sounder, you are a part of the family and you'll be invited to all the meetups that we have in student only events and activities. Now, if you're thinking, okay, Hadar, it sounds like a lot, right? Like all the, all the vowels in the mindset and all of that, I'm too busy, so just give me, give me the numbers. How much time do I need to invest? Because we have busy people for students. All our students are busy. Okay? They have families, they're students, they have one, two, three jobs. Okay? So we wanted to make it super effective. I'm a fan of productivity and efficiency. So we created a recommended daily practice where every day you know exactly how much time you need to spend. 25 minutes, 19 minutes, 39 minutes. So it's around 30 minutes a day for five days a week. So you get a plan. So that tells you watch the video, practice this, and then if you want to do more, great, if you want to do less, great. But you have a plan that keeps you on track for 12 weeks that does more than just. Just do the bare minimum so you can, you can take six months to complete it. You don't have to finish it by the end of the 12 weeks. This program is with lifetime access. You don't need to do more than 30 minutes a day to improve. This is exactly what Rosario says. And I think Rosario is here in the chat. Hi, Rosario, one of the ambassadors in New Sound. He said before joining New Sound, I wondered if I would have the time to devote to it. But luckily only about 30 minutes a day was enough. Or Nadoka, who said, I'm from Japan and I was concerned about the time zone and about not being able to join because I'm busy and she realized that I could watch all of them at any time, catch up on things and join the sessions that were available. Or Martin, who learned how to be productive and manage his time and stay dedicated and be more consistent, which is, again, the program teaches you how to do it. It gives you all the tools so you don't have to figure it out on your own. And Christian who said even with a full time job, children and many other responsibilities, I was able to participate and learn what I needed to focus on. Two things I have to tell you. What got you here won't get you there. If you're afraid about the time and about this, right? So like you got to do something different. If you want to see different results, I'm offering you New Sound as that something that is different to shake everything up and help you get to your next level, help you reach a breakthrough. Also, what can you do today for that your future self will thank you for? I'm quoting other smart people, right? What can you do today? This is what you can do today so that you in six months, 10 months or two years will be able to say thank you. I joined New Sound. So many of my students say the only thing I regret is not joining New Sound sooner just because it makes a huge difference and just because you feel it when you do it. And again, with our six month money back guarantee, even if it doesn't work for you, you will. You know, you were not you, you can get your full investment back. So six months money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the results, show us that you did the work and we'll give you your money back. So like you can finish the program in three months. We're giving you three extra months if you need the time to complete the program to see if it's right for you. How will I know if my English level is right for this program? This program is fantastic for people who are building their confidence in English without a lot of experience and people who are super experienced, who have lived in the U.S. for many, many years or who have done pronunciation work in the past and they just want to make their English shine. They're looking for that missing link. Whether you're just starting out or you feel like you're very advanced, this program is for you because it's very different. It's not like a, you know, B2 to see one type of course where you need to have prior knowledge and you need to learn something that you don't yet know. No, it's different because it's pronunciation. There are so many layers to it that allow you to only focus on the thing that is right for you for your stage. Also in conversation groups, you need to be able to understand my videos. You need to be able to have basic conversations. You need to know how to read and write without Google will Translate or chat GPT. If you can't do all of those things. New sound is not for you. But if you can and you're just afraid that you're. You still make mistakes or that you get stuck and you don't understand, the program is designed to help you with that. Okay. And if you feel like, oh, but I've done a lot of work in the past. I don't know, I'm teaching pronunciation differently. I'm teaching it not because I learned it at the university. I did, by the way. I studied phonetics, I studied linguistics. But I don't teach what I studied at the university. I combined what I studied there and in my acting classes and through teaching for years, thousands of students and seeing what works and what doesn't work. And I. It took me two years to create new sound because it has to be just. It had to be just right and the right, you know, stages. And I think that even if you've done pronunciation work, this course can offer you something that is a little different. Different perspective and a lot of things that probably were not included, like mindset and voice work and prosody work. Victor said, I was afraid I was too old to improve and my level wasn't good enough. But. But little by little, I gained confidence to speak. Now I can communicate with people from all over the world. Now, if you're wondering whether or not you're going to get feedback, let me tell you how you get feedback inside the program. And a quick stop one. I'm gonna also call the names of the new New Sounders in just a little bit. You can ask your questions in the chat. I'll answer all the questions. I'm. I'm gonna take as much time as we need to answer all the questions. So will I get feedback in new sound? New Sound is not a one on one program. So you don't. In the standard plan, you don't have a one on one coach that constantly gives you feedback. But there are plenty of opportunities to get feedback. Feedback. First of all, in the master classes and Q&As with me, I answer all the questions every week. Then we have time. You can sign up to work with me one on one. We call it the hot seat. Because you are in the hot seat. Everyone's looking at you and you will be practicing with me one on one. This is so valuable even to watch because a lot of the issues that people bring are the same as they struggle with or when I give feedback on someone's pronunciation, they're like, oh, now I'm hearing it, which helps Them improve their own English, so it's extremely valuable. Same thing in the mindset coaching sessions. You can work with me one on one. And in the pronunciation practice groups, the coaches leave time to give feedback on the sounds that they're practicing that week. Okay. You also get instant feedback with hadar AI, not specifically on your pronunciation, but English grammar, vocabulary. And again, the feedback and the way it allows you to pronounce practice is different than just using ChatGPT because it's again, trained on how I've been giving feedback in my coaching sessions for years. And if you want personalized support and ongoing feedback when you join New Sound. When you join New Sound, you can join the VIP plan. The VIP plan is for people who want feedback on every single sound that they work on. And they practice because they know that otherwise they wouldn't get to the finish line. They need a code coach that is assigned to them. So the VIP plan is a premium upgrade in new sound that gives you the direct access to a coach so you always know exactly what to focus on and how to improve faster. Now, again, the program is designed for the students who are taking the standard plan, which means everything that I shared up until now, all of that is designed to help you reach a transformation. But I know that there are people who they don't have time. They know themselves, they know they won't be stay accountable, they can afford it and they want like that next level. And then you can join the VIP which includes everything included in the standard plan that I talked about here. Initial pronunciation evaluation, so you can get let you get a report and a recording from a coach telling you exactly what you need to focus on, what your priorities are. 10 weekly meetings in a small group with a pronunciation success Coach. So it's 90 minutes every week throughout the program where you practice what you learned. Get feedback, Practice speaking, Get feedback. You have a small group that is your accountability group and you also have on demand video feedback for 12 weeks. So after each lesson you'll need to read something, example sentences, get feedback, repeat it if needed, and you'll be able to apply it with your coach when you're practicing. So when you click on join, you'll be able to choose from either standard or vip and for both you can choose the payment plan or the full pay. If you choose the full pay, whether it's the standard or the vip, you will get a bonus and you'll save a little bit of money. But if you prefer to spread it across six, eight or more payments, it is possible. Lisa said before joining New Sound, I never thought I would enjoy phonics lessons. Actually I used to hate them. So fun and entertainment is are two of our values. Joining New Sound program was one of the best gifts I've given to myself and I'm glad I did. Now before I answer your questions, here's something that I want you to know. Here's what New Sound help you do and all the things listed are things that were achieved by our students over the years and they celebrated in our weekly wins that we have inside of New Sound. New Sound can help you make new friends, speak more at home, tell jokes, become more independent, get a job in English, get a better job in English, ask for a raise and get it. Newsstand can help you start a business, start a YouTube channel in English, give public presentations, say what you want, ask for a promotion, teach others, inspire others to take action. All of that is possible for you when you join new sound. So one last time you can go to hadar shemish.com forward/join and join with only 97 today. If you choose the monthly payment plan, eight payments, so then seven additional payments each, 30 days apart, 97 each. Or you can save 79 and choose the one time payment plan and get the public speaking bonus. A few last words of inspiration. Tatiana said, I found the core, the courage to speak English in my in front of my boss without getting anxious, which was impossible before this program. Or Irina who said I began to understand spoken English better. Especially fast paced speech, not what I just did. Fast paced speech. Let's all say it together a few times. Fast speed, fast paced speech like on the radio, which used to be difficult for me. Okay, so if you haven't visited the page, go to hadar shemesh.com forward/join or click the link that is in the chat. And I highly recommend for you if we still have time to click on success stories and just scroll through the hundreds of incredible stories that you see of my students there just to see again what's possible and maybe imagine yourself being there yourself on that page 12 weeks from now. Three months, four months. Because it takes some time to upload the stories. Okay, so I want to welcome our new New sounders. Nikolai, Nick, I saw you in the chat. Maida, Wendy, Sandra and Ali. Welcome, welcome, welcome to New Sound. I'm so honored to have you in the program. I see that some of our students are here in the chat, so they are also going to be with you and welcoming you. I am so happy Wendelay is saying do we Need a computer. You can use your phone. You don't need a computer because we have an app in our app is super organized. It has everything. So if you have a phone, however you're watching this, you can absolutely use New sound. Mayuri is asking this program is 12 weeks and ends after that period. Can we access it after that date? I have to start mandatory training from September 29th to October 6th and it's too intensive and out of my city. Mayuri 1 100%. So here's the good news. First of all, yes, you have lifetime access. And not only that you get more content after, but the after you have the first week, right? So you're going to be missing the first week and then you have the second week and then week three is review week. So no new content. So within two weeks you'll be able to catch up on the content of week one. Because week three we have a few lessons but you don't have to take them. It's just if you want to reiterate or review some of the things that you've learned so you can do, you can start when you come back and then during review week you'll catch up on week two and then you're good to go. You're going to be with us coming week three, so don't worry about it. And again, like you have lifetime access. I wouldn't miss out the opportunity of making a change, taking advantage of it before the end of the year because the next time we're going to open doors probably going to be just spring, you know, like March of 2026. Rose and B1 would it be useful for me? First of all, yes, but I'm going to use a different way of explaining how this program, who this program is right for, it's right for you. If you understand if like the, the, the most basic requirements is that you understand Most of my videos, 70, 80% that you are able to read and write without using Google Translate doesn't need to be perfect. You can use, you know, Grammarly but like you need to be able to, to read my emails and understand them and you need to be able to have basic conversations if you want to join conversation groups. It doesn't need to be perfect. You don't need to understand super well everyone. But this is a requirement that will benefit you if you join New Sound. Okay, so based on what you shared then 100% Jacqueline said what level do you need for the scores? So same things. That's the, that's the, the minimal requirements is to be able to use English without the translator and to understand the videos doesn't need to be perfect. We also have teachers, English teachers who teach native speaker, non native speakers and even native speakers, because this program goes deep into understanding the language. So it's something that I want you to to know that even if you have a lot of experience in English, you are going to benefit from this program. Yahing is asking how long do you prep? Can we practice with Hadarii once I attend New Sound? So when you join New Sound, you have access to hadarii for the 12 weeks. Then you get 30 days, a gift from me. In Beyond, Beyonders also get access to Hadar AI. Specifically New sounders who are in beyond get the version of Hadara AI with pronunciation coaching. And you also get advanced classes, advanced pronunciation classes. So you can maintain your your pronunciation level. When you join beyond again for free for another month, so a total of four months. And if you decide to stay in beyond, which is our membership, then you'll keep access to Hadarii. Okay, so I answered Jacqueline's question about what level do you need for the course? I think, and Paola says, how does the public speaking training work? So the public speaking training, you get it if you join with a painful option, if you choose to. If you choose the $697 payment today and you get access to it at the end. Because we want you to go through the prosody module to really benefit from the program. And also, again, we don't want to overwhelm you. We can give you everything. Now a lot of people ask, can we get access to all the content? No, because we want you to finish the course. And we know we've done it. We've done it. Like, this is the 16th time, no, 18th time, I'm running an online course just like this. This is the 10th time, the 10th cohort of new Sound. And before that I had had eight rounds of Accent Makeover, which was my previous course. And every time we learn something about what gets people to finish, what people need, what are the type of less types of lessons, and we always change something and improve something to make it better. My students who are, who have been in the program for several rounds will tell you there is always something that is a little like this time we're actually adding the one on one matching because people were saying like, it's hard for us to find a one on one partner. So we listened and we created a plan to help you find your ideal one on one speaking partner. So why Am I saying all that about public speaking? You'll get it at the end because you'll need to go through all the content first. It's a three part video training. You'll get access to it in the app and again you get it for free when you join New Sound using the full payment plan. Tatiana, at some point is there a one on one evaluation or a one on one coaching session in a space that is not group based? If you want, if you don't choose the VIP plan. So if you choose the VIP plan. Yes. If you choose the standard plan, you can ask for a hot seat with me or with one of the coaches and ask for general feedback or general evaluation. You cannot be guaranteed a session. So I don't want to kind of like make any promises that at the end of the day you'd be like, oh, I couldn't join, I didn't get a hot seat. If you would like to get an evaluation or a one on one coaching session with a coach, we can offer, we can create a curated. We could curate for you a specific offer of just evaluation or just a one on one session for a special price for New Sounders. Okay. The standard plan already includes so much, so we cannot offer any additional one on one coaching. But if you want to add that to your plan, we don't offer it to people outside of New Sound, but we do offer it to people inside of New Sound who want it. But if you want like for. For like the one on one coaching and you can consider it, the VIP plan is. Can definitely offer that to you. Patrice saying, will it work even if I do not leave? Okay. Will it work if I don't live in an English speaking country? 1 million percent, yes. Like, this is the country. New Sound, you, you are going to move into the New Sound country with incredible people and community and it's all online and you're going to get to listen to English all day long and talk in English with an incredible, beautiful, gorgeous community of people. Because the people who gravitate. I'm going to tell you this. Yesterday I just had a small meetup with a group of my students who lives in Barcelona. And they really helped us with the meetup that we had in 2024. And since then we stayed in touch and we meet every few months. And yesterday we met and we talked about the community like, and how amazing our community is. And we tried to figure out like, why, what makes this community this special. And it's really that idea that people who gravitate towards like this non conventional training, doing mindset work, right? Working with me. I'm a non native speaker. I'm like quirky. I'm not like, you know, very sometimes very polished. And if people like that and if you like that, if you enjoy this, then it's, it's, it's a very unique group of people. Yes, you are a part of a unique group of people that likes that, that gravitates, that resonates with that, that when I say things like you deserve to tap into your full potential, you don't have like a sarcastic reactions like oh, that's just teach me grammar. Right? Like if. Because those people, they won't join New Sound. They want like the people who want the critical feedback on everything and want like everything to be perfect and they want like don't make that mistake type of videos. That's not me, okay? They will go to another program, not to me. So you will find people who have an open heart, they're willing to be vulnerable, they're willing to get out of their comfort zone. And that is an inspiring group of people. And that is why when you join New Sound Land and later on beyond land, you'll find the most incredible community that you'd like to be a part of and you'll feel like you can immerse yourself. You don't need to live in an English speaking country. You know how many students I have who have lived in the US for 16, 20 years and they still join New Sound because they feel like their English is not enough and they don't use it. So it's not a sign that you're able to use it. You just living in an English speaking country, it's a choice. You can do it online. So the answer is yes. Mayor, what are the live group schedules so you can reach out to the team to ask to look at it? We have an example schedule that you can take a look. But you know, when I teach I have sessions in my morning and sessions in my evening. So we want to make it accessible for people in the Far east and people in California. Right. And people in Australia and people in Europe. So it's sometimes it's going to be the middle of the night for you and sometimes it's going to be right after work, which is perfect and we keep changing it. But again everything is recorded and you'll have access to everything. And we have coaches who live in the US and I'm going to like teach one of the sessions from the US and we have coaches who live in Europe So it's going to, it always works out. Noah, what is the difference between New Sound and Beyond? Is one included in the other? Beyonders who join New Sound, they complete each other. So New Sound focuses on pronunciation. So that's the first big difference in beyond you don't learn pronunciation. The method, the step by step method is inside of New Sound regarding pronunciation, pronunciation, confidence method, all the sounds, intonation, rhythm, stress. New Sound does very intense work, intentional work on mindset an entire week and it's weaved throughout the program. New Sound is very step by step, do this, do this, do this. Day by day you have the daily plan. So it's 12 weeks of very intentional work designed to minimize the gap between the English that you know and the English that you speak. And it's a lot more intensive. Beyond is designed to be a part of, to accompany you, to help you immerse in your day to day life. It's like having going to the gym twice a week. I go to the gym, I work out, I take yoga classes. So that it's like you keep a healthy lifestyle. But if you like, it's just maintaining what you've already achieved. Because if you do New Sound and then you don't do anything about it and you don't maintain it, it's going to, you know, you're going to regress, especially if you don't use English in a daily day, in a, in the, in your day to day life or with intention. So both of them are designed to support you. If you are in beyond and you want to join New Sound, you also get a special bonus. You get pronunciation evaluation from us. So that's a gift to our beyond students and it just gives you more, more opportunities when you take the boat. Like if you're in beyond and you want to join New Sound, then you just have access to a lot more, more coaching, a lot more conversation groups and the sprints and all of that that you already have in Beyond. And now you have the entire plan of New Sound. Wonderly, I'm not good at writing yet. Can I still join the class? So like I said, we don't test your writing. In fact, I think that writing is always like at this point speaking is more important because writing, you have all the tools, AI tools. The most important thing is to be able to understand my videos, to be able to have basic conversations and not to use a translator when you read and write. That's, that's the most important thing. If you, if all check, check, check. You can definitely join New Sound and benefit from the core training, from the live coaching, from the, you know, like the plan, daily schedule and the conversation groups. Yachting is asking when will be the next session of New Sound? Since I'm busy these three months, the next session is going to be in probably March 2026. Shanzida is asking can I make the installments of around 10 or 12 instead of 8? So like I said, if you need a smaller payment plan, like a 12 payment plan, we can accommodate you. So we take the full price of the eight payment plan. Of the eight payments because it's a little more than the, the one payment plan, the one time payment plan because we give you a discount if you choose that plan. So I hope I didn't confuse you right now, but yes, we have a 12 month payment plan. If you want, 65amonth if you want the team can put the link in the chat so you can join with that. So team, if you can add that 12 payment plan, if that makes it easier for you, all I want is for you to be able to go through it and, and take advantage of everything that New Sound has to offer. Just a reminder for people choosing the payment plan, it's you. It's basically the full price distributed into eight or 12 payments. It's not a membership. So even though the live sessions end after three weeks, the payments will still, you know, you're, you're still responsible to making those payments until the end to keep lifetime access to everything and to pay for the serve like for everything that New Sound has to offer because we just again wanted to make it easy for people to join. Erica, if I choose the Standard, can I get the VIP later? Yes, but depending on when later is because the second week of New Sound is when the coaching sessions start. So if you want to join Standard now, while on the call and then think about it and then decide if you want to join VIP within the upcoming week. Sure, but remember there are limited seats right now. There are still seats available. We just opened so you can, you can still join but three weeks into the program, probably not because they will have already started. Carolina, what are the hours of the weekly meetings again? It changes, it changes every week. It changes so that we can accommodate more people. So sometimes it's going to be in your morning, sometimes in your evening and sometimes it might be in your night. Everything is recorded and you'll have a plan for the entire 12 weeks. We don't make if any changes throughout the program so you can see it and you can ask for an Example schedule from the team. Antonio, could you repeat once more how to get the public speaking training? I understand that we are only getting if we join today. No? So let me, let me explain because you're right. With all the bonuses, it's kind of like what is going on? What am I getting now? Hadar, I'm going to show you the slides because I'm a visual person and it's a lot easier for me to show slides and then to explain and to see it with your permission. So like I said, you can choose the two payment plans, either the 97 today or 65 if you choose the 12 month payment plan or choose to save and choose the 90, the 697 which is the full pay. If you choose the full Pay, you save 79 and you get the pay in full. Bonus, which is a three part video series on public speaking. How to design your talk, how to plan for it, how to know your audience, storytelling and how to face the fear of public speaking. So this training is, is going to be released closer to the end of the program when you choose the painful option. The 12 weeks of lessons, exercises, PDFs, recordings. 12 week of weeks of course coachings, Hadar AI, the practice toolkit with 56 daily recordings and the 5 additional bonuses like the speech bank, the sound bank, the daily practice, the voice training, how to use your voice in a confident way, an expressive way, learning habit training. So all of that you get for free. Whether you choose the full payment or the payment plan. This you get when you choose the pay in full. Whether you join now or before we close doors, it doesn't matter. Myrna is asking, is it possible to get all the bonuses even if I join later? So you get all the bonuses. The only thing is that you need to join before Thursday because that's when we close doors. Okay, so just keep in mind that we close doors to new sound on Thursday because we want to prepare and get ready and support our students. To start on Monday, September 29th. Are the meetings on weekends or through Monday through Friday? Most of the meetings and the coaching sessions are Monday through Friday through Friday. We have some conversation groups over the weekend. Sometimes the one on one matching happens on Sunday, not all the time because we want the people who can't who are busy during the week to have that option. But it's not the core session. So the sessions with me, for example, in the practice groups with our coaches, the sprints are going to happen Monday, Monday through Friday. Okay, so now before we say goodbye and I answer, a few final questions. I just want to say hello and welcome to Ubaldo. Patricia, I see that you joined. I'm happy. And Magnolia, thank you so so much you guys for joining New Sound and it's going to be amazing and come say hi in the community inside of the Influency Academy app where we host all of our courses. So that is already available and waiting for you. Letty, I saw that you joined in one of the last master classes. I recognized your name right away. So I'm excited. I hope you already set your goal that your next 90 day goal. I'm excited that you are excited that you came again to watch this master class. Very, very, very honored and privileged. So thank you so much. Thank you Leah, thank you Maida, thank you Rosario and my students who have been here supporting answering questions and my team. Thank you Hannah who is going to also you're going to get to meet her inside New Sound. Hannah is going to be one of the ambassadors who are our students who support our new students inside the program. Okay? So thank you so much my friends. We are going to wrap up. Whether you choose to join New Sound or not, I want to tell you and remind you that it is possible for you to speak English with clarity, confidence and freedom and to feel like yourself. And if you just understand what to focus on and what not to focus on. If you understand that working on your mindset and how you think is an essential part of growing and building your confidence and building your fluency and that pronunciation work is really designed to help you speak smoother, build confidence, improve your grammar, vocabulary and not just how you sound because it's such an inherent part of any spoken language. And once you focus on that again, if you choose to join us, amazing. But if you choose to just continue following me, using my free content, joining my free event, I'm going to always be so honored and happy to support you and guide you throughout your journey. I believe in you. Thank you so much. Thank you students. Thank you team for this session and I'll see you, I don't know next week in the next lesson or video.
