This is a spoken 10-minute YouTube exercise (Hadar’s #SPRINT) led by Hadar Shemesh that guides listeners through rapid pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary drills. The session includes vowel and consonant warm-ups, minimal-pair and stress contrasts (e.g., record vs. record), focused word practice (e.g., convenient, insult, permit), conditional sentence drills (real/likely and unreal/hypothetical), focal vs. neutral intonation practice, and a breathing cool-down. The instructor frames the method as "pronunciation confidence", claims it builds muscle memory, and invites viewers to join a weekday sprint program via a link.

Welcome to my sprint. A sprint is a 10 minute exercise that I've come up with that is comprised of a sequence of pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary drills aimed at boosting your fluency from the outside in through building pronunciation confidence. Pronunciation confidence is a technique that I've developed and I've been using it in my programs and courses and it has helped hundreds of students transform their English. Are you ready?

Great. Now, if you like this spread and you'd like to see more of those sprints on my channel, then write the word more in the comments. And let me tell you this. The reason why it works is because we're working from the outside in. So doing those drills, those grammar drills and pronunciation drills and drilling words and phrases and phrasal verbs helps you remember it through your muscles, through the act of doing it again and again and again. My students report that they start using these structures and start using these words and phrasal verbs without thinking about them. It just comes up in the middle of a conversation or the middle of the sentence, and then they say that it actually works. Now, if you want to find out more about beyond my secret program for English learners where we share a different sprint every single weekday. Then click on the link below and get on the list to find out when we open doors. Again. Thank you so much for doing this and have a beautiful, beautiful day and I'll see you in the next Sprint.
