#GoBeyond

Hello. Hello, everyone. Welcome to day five of the Start Strong Challenge. How are you doing today? Do you feel rejuvenated? Do you feel refreshed? Do you feel inspired? Do you feel warmed up? Do you feel ready to speak? Do you feel excited about the opportunities, are excited about what's coming up, excited about the possibilities of you making it work, changing things, breaking through, re. Accomplishing your goals? Whatever. Whatever goal you've set for yourself, are you excited about it? I've listened to this podcast today, and it was about goals. I was like, I saw it and I was like, I'm gonna listen to it because this is exactly what we're talking about this week. And one of the things that they said was that it's really important to celebrate your accomplishments and your goals. So we, you know, we spent all week to talking about setting goals, stepping into the right mindset, celebrating our wins. But also there was something really wise about that conversation where she. She said that a lot of times when you accomplish your goal, it feels like it's not what you had expected it to feel like because you feel like, now my life is going to change, now everything is going to be different. And while there is a strong sense of accomplishment, especially when. When you accomplish something big, a lot of times like, okay, now what? And it's really important to take the time to celebrate what you have already accomplished and then set another goal because you also want to keep growing and moving forward. So that's something to remember when you do accomplish your goal. But also for today, because we're starting to wrap up the Start Strong Challenge. Today, I'm going to talk to you about the future and how you can continue learning with us if you want us to help you reach your goals, all the way until whenever you need us, whether it's for one month, six months, or one year, or three years. Right? So I'm going to tell you about how you can go beyond with us, but I also want to take a moment to wrap up everything that we have discussed thus far up until today. And I want you to actually celebrate. Maybe you haven't accomplished your smart goals, but I want you to celebrate the fact that you are here and we are practicing together and you showed up to the live streams. Maybe you completed the checklists, maybe you joined some conversation groups, which is amazing. Maybe you've made some friends. Maybe you went, you posted a video for the first time. Maybe you did things a little differently. Maybe you will be doing. Because we still have two more days. And day seven is all about Challenging yourself. So it's really important that even if it's just, like, a few days, these are big days, and. And some of you have made some bold decisions, and I want you to take a moment and acknowledge it. But I also know that when you're in a group and you feel, like the vibe and the momentum and everyone's on the same page and you're all doing the same thing, it's really easy to stay on track. It's really, like, fun and exciting, and you're not alone, and you feel like someone sees you. Right. And a lot of times when you. When something like that ends, then motivation declines and you lose the momentum and you forget to do the things that you need to do, and no one holds you accountable. So this is why I wanted to focus today on how else we can help you. But before that, let me wrap up what we have accomplished so far in this challenge. Okay, good. So you have set smart goals for 2024. That's incredible. That's the first thing you did that was on day one. So you know what you are going to accomplish. You're. You. You are specific. You've set measurable goals, achievable goals, not, like, crazy, insane goals. Not that it's wrong to set crazy goals. I'm all about it. But for the timeline that we have, it's important to set achievable goals. They're relevant. It's about English or about the things that you would like to change in your life, and maybe English can help you do that. And timely. We have said it until the end of 2024, you. You have listed your wins and strengths to remind yourself that you can already accomplish hard things. And if it was possible for you in the past, it will be possible for you in the future as well. And you got to remind yourself of that. We are constantly being challenged. In today's world, things move really quickly, right? Like in 2020, there was Covid, and then, you know, like, our lives just flipped around. And then there are things that are unexpected, and there are wars and there are, you know, like, we. We can't control everything. And the one thing we know is that we need to let go of control and understand that we can only trust ourselves, our mindset, the way we think, how adaptable we are, the way we approach things, and we are capable of going through, you know, anything. We are very adaptable as human beings, and we gotta remember it, because it's so easy to forget when something hard happens or when you lose track or when you Forget or when you are not motivated to do the work that you need to do. Okay. So it's really important to remember your strengths, to remember that you can always depend on yourself. And that's the one thing that you do have control over, how you think and how you approach things. Okay. You can do hard things. You also chose three core values, right, that are going to guide you in 2024. The things that are non negotiable, the things that will, you know, you will come back to every time you need to make a decision or understand is if something is right for you or not. And you've learned about developing a growth mindset. You visualize who you want to be, how you want to feel, what you what is that person that you want to become, what what does that person do and how you can start doing those things, feeling those things and thinking those thoughts. Starting now and not to wait until things change. Okay. Now we also learned what it takes to build strong habits and avoid distractions. We remember that it's really easy when you have triggers around you, like your social media next to your phone, when you know like you're trying to learn English and there are other things happening in the next room that's going to be hard for you to stay on track and do the work. So it's really important to keep a safe environment distracted, distraction, less environment, so you can actually do the work but also build consistent habits because momentum, motivation, goals are going to help you get started. But if you want to keep going and if you want to sustain, make it sustainable, you have to develop habits. And English is based on habits, speaking habits, learning habits and then speaking habits. We have pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, all of that is habits, the way we think and of course how we practice so we can build those speaking habits, right? So you got to build speaking hab learning habits. That means to spend at least 10 minutes every day or even if it's just five minutes because you don't have a lot of time but five minutes, you have to just think in English or shadow a short video or just read something intentionally, right? But that is your focus time devoted for English and that's how you sustain those habits every single day. We talked about having a trigger and having a reward to help you maintain a habit because that is what you need. We also talked about the fact that you need to surround yourself with people and a community that is devoted to the same things that you want because it's really hard to be around people who are not interested in the things that you are interested in. So you're a lot more likely to stick to a habit if you have people around you who already have the habit that you want to have. Right. It's proven. Research shows that this is how people stay on track. And also, if you make public commitments, if you feel that you are held accountable, you don't want to. You. You don't want to disappoint anyone by not doing what you say you're going to do, you are more likely to do those things. So as human beings, because of our tendency to do less to, you know, like we, we either lazy or afraid or we have, we can talk ourselves out of the things that we want to do. Because of that, we have to be in an environment that will allow us to thrive. I gave you the example of the pot that you need to be in a pot. Like if, if you're growing a plant or a flower, you need a little bit of sun, you need water, just the right amount, and you need the right size pot. If it's too small or it's too big, it's just not going to thrive as well as it could. Right. So you also need the right environment for you to succeed. And you've seen the power of community here so that you have a lot of opportunities to practice with and to see people who are, who. Who were where you are. And right now they're in a place like our hosts, for example, who are also our students. And they are hosting also in our other programs like in beyond, which I'm going to talk about today. Right. And they're doing things that you. That seem to you almost impossible, facilitating an entire zoom call with hundreds of people. But the thing is that they were where you are today. And I want you to know that it is possible for you as well, as long as you have the right environment, that you have a plan, you build habits and you are. You are focused as to what you need to do. And this is where I want to tell you that first of all, congratulations on really getting to today for signing up for this challenge to begin with. Right. And reaching today, being here on this live with with me. And I want to invite you to keep the momentum and go with us beyond, because beyond is my English practice community that is designed to help you reach your goals and succeed in your English practice and of course, stay in an incredible community that is designed to help you thrive, succeed, enjoy, and really, really optimize your English practice. So let me tell you how beyond can keep supporting you in addition to this challenge. First of all, it will provide you the environment to build strong practice habits. And I'll explain to you how we do that. We have spent three years really learning and understanding how students operate in the best way possible. And we've created a program that is designed to do all of that. You will have countless speaking opportunities, conversation groups, teach and learn, community activities. You will have unparalleled coaching and support. My team and I are very, very active inside beyond, and we offer lessons based on our methodology and our teaching, our practice groups that are a very unique way of teaching based on the sprints and repetition. And these are things that you would only find in Beyond. And you'll find plenty of learning opportunities with our coaches and varied English practice sessions in beyond and also guidance and clarity on your next step. So if you're the type of person who wants to learn, but you're like, I don't know what to do next, or it's really hard for me to stay on track, then beyond is exactly for you. We have created beyond and we've created the Success path where we identify the stage of each learner based on their behavior in English. So it's not about your English level, it's about your behavior and your feeling and your experience using English. When you join beyond, we identify your stage inside the Success path. And beyond is designed to help you move up the success path. You're starting as usually an avoider. An avoider is someone who is avoiding speaking English as much as humanly possible. Yet they know that English is important. This is why they put themselves out there, but they still avoid English as much as humanly possible. After the avoider, the next stage is the anxious speaker. Someone is already dealing with communicating. They're using English, but they're just very, very stressed out about it. So at least they're not avoiding. But also they don't feel confident and they don't feel like themselves when speaking in English. Right after that, we have the brave speaker, someone who has mastered their mindset and has gained enough speaking, speaking opportunities and experience in the right environment, an environment that is non judgmental. So that they have built this fundamental confidence and fluency that allows them to communicate with, with, with a lot more power. So the brave speaker is usually the next stage where people already feel like, okay, I'm starting to see results. Every time you move up the success path, you feel, you feel that you've improved. So even anxious speakers, if they were avoiders before, it's already. Even though we tend to say that it's a Negative thing to be anxious, but at least you're speaking. So it's a huge thing. After the brave speaker, if you move up the success path, you become the challenger. A challenger is someone who is, who lives for challenges, who is willing to be vulnerable and courageous and to put themselves out there and to try different things and to constantly learn and apply new things without the fear of making mistakes and without the fear of what, what are people going to say. And that is something that you build. It's not that you are born with it necessarily. No, it's something that you built with the right progress and with the right process. So our aim is to get you to stage three, four and five when you're in beyond, because after you're a challenger, all of a sudden you realize that what you have to give to others is not less important that what you want to achieve for yourself. Both the challengers and. And you'll see that all the people in our community are, are full of heart. Really. It's the most incredible community, our student community, you guys, right? The people who are drawn to this type of content are people with a big, big heart who are interested in connecting and learning together. And the influencer already started, starts using their English to help others who were where they were in the past, who are earlier on the journey. The avoiders, the anxious speakers, and even the brave speakers. And the influencers in, in beyond are usually our hosts and they mentor people who are avoiders and anxious speakers. And they help us facilitate all these different events. And you have gotten to meet them if you joined any of the conversation groups, some of them, not all of them. So being an influencer means that, that you are already using your English to, to make an impact in this world, whether it's with your English, whether it's with teaching and helping others in English, or whether it's just like doing things that are meaningful to you and to the people around you. When you join beyond, you will take a quiz and you will identify your stage and. And then beyond is going to help you move up the success path. The way we do that is by first of all, helping you build strong habits. Okay? We do that with our daily sprints, because you have daily sprints with our checklists. We do that with effective practice, our method for teaching inside of our many, many, many, many different lessons and coaches and with an incredible community that holds you accountable, that inspires, inspires you and that a lot, gives you a lot of opportunities to speak all these three elements together, organized in the way we organize Them help you move up the success path from avoider to anxious speaker, Anxious speaker to brave speaker, to challenger and to influencer. Okay, now I want to tell you a little bit more about what you'll find in beyond. So like I said, when you join, you get the success path quote quiz that will help you identify your speaker type. Then you will be able to build habits with our personalized weekly checklist. Every stage receives a specific checklist, and in the checklist you have a few tasks for the week, just like you had in the challenge, right? We also had checklists. You will do your sprints. Usually there is like a mantra, a few tasks or questions. Sometimes it's about pronunciation, sometimes about vocabulary, sometimes about grammar, sometimes about listening. So we really create like this range of activities and range of topics or areas that are important for your fluency inside the checklist. We also help you stay account, stay committed to your daily habits by offering you different sprints. We have over 110, I think, circulating sprints so that today in this challenge, you're going to get seven sprints. But think about getting a different sprint every single day. How exciting would that be? We have many opportunities, so if you open the calendar, you'll have almost one or two sessions a day with coaches, with our coaches that you can just join. Whether it's about grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, listening, speaking with feedback. That's one of the sessions where there's a group of people who joins and then the coach allows people to speak for about 10 minutes, gives them feedback, speaks specific feedback on grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, all the things that you need help with. Sometimes it's just a conversation about mindset and confidence. And we have many of those sessions inside beyond. So you can just log in, hop on a call, talk to a coach and get feedback on what you need to fix. If you have a presentation to work on, you can bring it to those sessions. We have a grammar lab where you will be learning a challenging topic in grammar, come up with questions and practice it with other people. Mindset coaching with me, once a month, I hold a mindset coaching session that we have incredible shadowing sessions that help you improve intonation, rhythm, stress, pronunciation. We have prosody with feedback where the focus is on intonation, rhythm and stress, where you read out loud or when you speak, writing with feedback. If you want to improve your writing, academic writing, creative writing, we have those incredible sessions as well. Listening practice, improving your listening, whether it's listening to American English, different dialects of English, reductions, all sorts of things that slang, all sorts of Things that will help you become a better communicator because you need to improve your listening. We have pronunciation coaching with me specifically, but we also have pronunciation practice groups, live Q and as with me, guest workshops, business and career coaching with me. All of that is available to you throughout the month. It's like an incredible English gym that you just need to select what you like, what fits your schedule and, and that's it. You also have a lot of content available for you in Beyond. We have an incredible content library that will where you can, you know, choose different lessons, whether it's short lessons or previous lives about different topics. So there's a ton of content to learn on your own. So you don't only have to join live sessions. And the best part is that you have at least once or twice a day conversation groups with other members. So Beyonders are hosting these conversation groups. It's also a great practice for people to become hosts. That's, you know, a challenge that you can take on in the future. And every conversation group has a topic and you have other community activities as well. So again, it's about learning and practicing effectively, but also coming into, you know, all these different opportunities to speak and the ability to speak and improve your fluency, make connections, which is obviously like, you understand the impact that it could have on your confidence, on your well being and definitely on your English. You get all of that for $29 a month, cancel any time. So for the price of one private lesson in English on Italki, you get all of that with all of our incredible coaches, all of this incredible community for a month. We wanted to make it super affordable so that almost everyone can join and you can stay for as long as you need it. The idea is to make, make an effort to stay in an environment that keeps you going, that inspires you and allows you to speak, allows you to practice, allows you to learn the things you need to learn and most importantly, get the guidance and the support that you need. Because we know how to take care of our students. Student satisfaction is one of our core values. Speaking of core values, we are obsessed with student satisfaction and we want to make sure that you succeed, that you take advantage of what beyond has to offer. So if you decide to join while we're opening doors for the next week, then you get $29 a month, then you can join for $29 a month. And it's month by month for as long as you need it. You can cancel at any time directly. You don't even have to talk to Anyone you can go, just go to the platform and cancel it. And if you decide to take the annual membership, you actually get two months free. So you pay for 10 months and you get two additional months for free, and still you can cancel at any time. If you sign up for the annual membership and after two months you decide that this is not for you, then you will get a refund for the unused month. You only pay for the months that you have used, right? $29 a month, flat rate. That's it. Okay, so we don't always open doors for beyond. We're doing this at the beginning of the year to really, really allow people to, to become a part of this incredible membership and program, but also because it's the beginning of the year and they know the importance of, of starting strong and making sure you have clarity, because when you start strong, you really set yourself up for success for the rest of the year. Right now you have a lot of Beyonders in the Challenge, so in the group. So if you want to hear from Beyonder, simply post in the, in the, post a question in the Facebook page, ask in the comments. You can even ask the hosts who are hosting those sessions. You also have Beyonders participating in the conversation groups. So we still have a couple more days inside the Challenge today and then two more days. So if you want to really hear how it is from real Beyonders, then, then this is your opportunity to do it. But like I said, I really want to make sure that you have what you need so that you can stay on track with your English practice, enjoy your practice, and get access to stellar content, whether it's the recorded content, the result that is already and beyond, or whether it's the live lessons that happen repeatedly, consistently, every day, every week, every month. Okay, a lot of sessions with me, a lot of sessions with my coaches. And it's not a traditional course, so there isn't like a, a conventional grammar course with a series of lessons, but there are many lessons about all aspects of fluency, mindset, listening, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, with a lot of opportunity, writing. Right? So you have all of that. And we have some guest workshops. We have a guest workshop on breathing and creative speaking, and we have a guest workshop on business English and one on acting in English that everything's recorded. You can get access to all of that. So hours and hours and hours of really good content that you will get access to that usually we, you know, we only do it inside our programs. Also, when you join, once you, we know your, your stage, you will get a personalized playlist. So we've from all the content that we have created over the last three years, we curated it and created a personalized playlist for avoiders, for anxious speakers, for brave speakers again to help you stay focused so you're not all over the place and you are able to stay on track. Another incredible feature is that we actually have one on ones in beyond both with a coach if you want for an additional price. But we also have just one on one. Right, but you have opportunities to work with a coach one on one in the speaking with feedback sess sessions that are a part of the of your membership. So just so you know that but we have an incredible platform that a members directory that you can simply find people who share their pro, who open their profiles for one on one and schedule a call with them. So you click on their calendar link and you see what fits your schedule and you can schedule a one on one call with other beyonders which has been like the most exciting thing in in beyond in terms of community practice. People absolutely love it and it's really good because sometimes when you're in a group you are less likely to speak one but when you're one on one, that's it. You have to, you know, you have to use your English. And also it has been, you know, a source of such incredible friendships and connections. So all of that is available for you for 29amonth. And like I said, you can only join for one month and I'm inviting you to join and keep the momentum inside that you've started in and start strong challenge. So how to join? Go to beyond hadar shemish.com forward/beyond. You can click on the link that my team is going to share and let me wait. Can't flip. Can't flip my slides. Hold on. Yes. Then you click on Enroll now and you will need to choose between $29 or 209 90. The $29. Hold on. The $29 a month is, is a monthly membership. So you do it month by month by month. And the $290 annual membership is for an entire year. So it's for 12 months starting from today. But you only pay for 10 months. But you can still cancel anytime. So it's a really good deal because if you do decide to stay in beyond for for a year, which means until the end of 2024 until you actually reach your goals. And that's the idea. So I really recommend if you, if you're debating between the two plans, I really recommend that you take hold on, like I need to fix something here. I really recommend that you choose the annual plan because it will keep you more committed. However, at the same time, you can cancel at any time. So if after three months you decide that's it, you will only pay for three months. Okay, so this is why I'm saying that it could be that it's probably the best deal for you because it's going to help you achieve your goals. And, and also you'll get two, two months for free. So once you click on either the monthly membership or the annual membership, you will be directed to this page where you'll have to fill in your information, credit card information and name to register. And then you will be invited to join beyond the beyond family. You will get an email and hold on, like not controlling all the screens here on my, on my desktop. And you will get an email with all the information with a magic link to log in. You will fill in a short questionnaire and that's it. You'll be able to use beyond right away. Okay, so that is it. If you want to continue with us, I'm going to answer some questions if you have any. But I also want to say that the challenge is not over. We have two more days. So throughout the weekend, we're not going to have lives. I want to give you some time to be with your families and be a bit more flexible. So I don't want you to show up at a specific time. This is the last live that. That we have for this challenge, but we have two, two more days. So tomorrow is going to be all about implementation. So you have some tasks and things to do and of course another sprint and conversation groups. But you will have time to catch up on all the content, ask questions. We are still here, we for you to support you. If you want to share your, your goals, if you want to share your strengths, if you want to share your wins, tomorrow would be a good time to do that. And then on Sunday, it's challenge day. So we are going to push you to do things that are out of your comfort zone, that are going to be exciting for you and prove to you that you can do hard things even in this challenge. Okay, so that is coming up on Sunday. Now if you want to continue with us, the offer is this is, this is the offer of Beyond. Doors for beyond are going to be open until next week. Until next Friday. For one week. Okay. So for one week you are going to be able to join. After that, we close because the reason why we do it. We don't keep it open all the time. We like to bring everyone in to welcome them properly. We have orientation sessions that you can join and ask questions. So we are a lot more, it's a, a lot more optimal in the sense of how we can help you and support you, understand beyond, learn beyond, so on and so forth. So this is why we do it. We open doors about twice a year. Okay. It might change, we might open it more frequently, but we don't have a plan to do that. We like, we like it when we have the, the, the capacity to support the members that do exist inside Beyond. And we recently updated our website so we have an entirely new website that with a really great search tool so you can easily search for content. It's customized based on your stage so it's a lot easier for, for people to get through the content, understand what they need to do, download the checklist, so on and so forth. You'll get weekly emails with instructions with your checklist. The checklist is one of the best parts. The checklist and the Sprints in addition to everything. So that alone is worth the price of the entire membership. Just so you know, Clarity, a to do list and a daily sprint that alone is worth the entire investment of Beyond. Think about the fact that in addition to that you get all the content that we have, we already have there organized in a very efficient way as well as the live sessions that you'll see daily as well as all the incredible conversation groups, community, the monthly challenges that we have every now and then and also the opportunity to connect with people one on one without the hassle of like what you. We have conversation topics for you. We have suggestions on how you can go about your one on one practice so you don't. You're not on your own. You don't have to figure it out and think. Think of how much time and energy you could save save without looking for content, without starting look to look for the videos to watch or practice sheets to solve. All of that is ready for you handed to you for only $29 a month. So if you feel like you need us with you to support you to get to reach your goals, then I hope to see you inside Beyond. All right everyone, let me see if we have any other questions here. Okay, I didn't see a question, but I saw this from one of our Beyonders. You won't regret when you register. There'll be a lot of knowledge and friendship in this excellent community. Highly recommended to join beyond and start your New journey. Thank you. Has the one on one another cost? We the one on one with other beyonders does not have additional cost. Okay. But we do have a special offer for students who want a one on one with a coach. So let me, let me explain. If you want a one on one with a coach, you have two options within the regular membership, within your 29amonth you can join. We have between three to six different speaking with feedback sessions. Right. In addition to that we have practice groups, coaching sessions, grammar lab, all of that in a given week. But we also have pretty consistently speaking with feedback session. And you log in and you ask to speak and you speak for about 10 minutes with a coach and you get feedback on specific things. This does not have an additional cost. Right. That's included inside the membership. You can join almost every speaking with feedback session if your time zone allows. And we have people from all around the world, so don't worry. We have sessions in the morning, in the evening, in the afternoon so that we accommodate people around the world. This does not cost anything to work with me one on one in one of my pronunciation hot seats. It doesn't cost anything to work with me on Mindset. It doesn't cost anything if you join as part of the group and you ask to speak and usually because we have so many sessions, you always get to speak. Right. And we make sure that we include people who are, you know, who usually don't participate. If you want to work on something specific with a coach on your writing, on your speaking. We usually don't offer one on one in our company and our with our coaches only for beyond members. So you can get a one on one call or a package of five 60 minute sessions and that is for that package is for an additional cost. But we only offer it to beyond members. But then it's like, oh, we have someone who's in. Hello, welcome. Welcome to Beyond. Yeah, so this is the link to join hadarashamish.com go beyond or you can just write Beyond. Join Beyond. What level is required? We don't do levels, remember like if we take it back to the the success path, we actually address the behavior and the experience. So an avoider may have a good level of English, but they just avoid it because they're anxious, they don't have experience speaking, they haven't practiced, they are self conscious about their pronunciation. So whatever reason that is like an avoider might be an avoider. It's not just because. And usually when someone is an avoider, their level of English would Be lower because English is not available. And as you move up the success path, obviously your fluency improves, but also your confidence. So our success path is. Is like a holistic representation of both fluency level, confidence level, and experience using English. Right. And we've developed it based on observing our students. Now, sometimes you'll feel like an avoider, and sometimes you'll be brave. It's not scientific. Right. But the most important thing is that you understand your stage. You get the right checklist and the right playlist for you and guidance on how you can move up the success path so you can recognize progress. And that progress is not always attached to how many words you know or how well you use the perfect tense. Sometimes progress means that you're actually showing up and saying what you think. That is a huge progress. And we don't know how to measure it. But in beyond, we know how to measure it because of the success path. Right. So it's not the traditional proficiency level tests. Now. It is. There is. It is linear in a way, but it's, it's. It understands the psyche of the speaker of English as a second language. Claudia says beyond is amazing. I'm a Beyonder, and I love it. Yeah. And beyond is kind of like, if it's not for you, then you would leave anyway. Because if you're, like, if you know you. You need something else, then, then you're. You're not going to stay in Beyond. But if you stay in beyond, you fall in love with beyond and with a community. Anita says beyond is the best program. I've met new friends and people. Most important, I have had the opportunity to talk in English every day. Every day. Anita. Amazing. Highly recommended. Don't wait. Join today. I did not pay them to say this. Only with love. Okay. And Christina says beyond is definitely not conventional. So it's not conventional. This is why I recommend for you to check it out to see if it's right for you. Do think about investing at least three months. Right. You can quit after one month, but you really get the hang of it and you build that habit. Usually it takes more than. Than you know, a month to get into the groove and understand how everything works. I'm just saying. Okay. And yes, for those who got confused, 290 for 12 months. So you're paying for two months. Friends was answering you, but I want to also highlight it. You're paying for 10 months, but you get 12 months. Beyond has a lot of places that you can develop your English. I'm proud of myself that I'M a challenger in the chart after I learned from Hadar's wonderful community. So, yeah, moving up the success path. And usually a challenger is someone who takes action and beyond consistently. And we see that. Okay, let's see. Yes. So if I choose to pay one month, could I change to the year payment next month? Absolutely. You know, we want to make it easy for you, so you can definitely join one month and if you are like, I like it, it's cool, you can then upgrade to an entire year, no problem. Okay. And you can also. And just to remind you, I know it's a, it's an easier commitment even if you join the annual. Right. And you pay for a year and after one month you say, I, I want to leave, you get a refund and you only, you know, like we only charge you for one month and you get a refund for the rest. Just so you know. So either one, whatever works for you is good. Are Confident and Sprint Master included in the beyond membership? I think you do you mean my English mindset, Confident and Sprint Master. So no, some of the sprints in the Sprint Master will. You'll find in Beyond. But like I said, beyond is a lot more than the Sprints. You do get daily sprints and we have almost 110, 10 circulating sprints. So you will come across many, many, many different other sprints, but that's just like a small part. And beyond everything else is like the live lessons and the content that is there, that is organized for you, the weekly checklist, the conversation groups. So it's more of like an active English practice community. Right. Like with a lot of speaking. But these in the English mindset is a completely different program and it's not included in Beyond. Okay, so the program starts immediately? Yes. As soon as you join, you already have access to the platform. This week's and last week's Sprints, you have access to all the live lessons. You can sign up for an orientation call and with a coach, you can join the sessions that are today, tomorrow, next week. Yeah. So you become an active member as soon as you sign up. And we do have mindset calls there and we do talk about mindset a lot. What's the difference? This is a good question. What's the difference between beyond and New Sound? New Sound is a more systemic program that focuses mainly on pronunciation learning strategies and mindset. But the core program is mine is Pronunciation. New Sound. Right. It's step by step by step by step. We develop it. Right. It's chronological. There are a lot of Activities geared towards helping you get through the content. And it's really, it's like a 12 week program that starts from A to Z. It's like a road map. And usually it's like you want to think of it as if you're. If we're thinking of the success path because obviously, you know, New Sound is also designed to help you move up the success path. But New Sound does it a lot faster. But because of that, New Sound is a more intensive program. It's three months and there is like, you know, it's 30 minutes to 40 minutes a day for three months. It's something that you cannot sustain, sustain in the long run, right? Because. Because you need to, to be able to only practice 10 minutes a day and be happy with it to know what you need to do. We're busy people. You can't like practice two hours every day. So now that New Sound requires you two hours a day, but it's more intensive. So think of it like, you know, practicing yoga daily, right. Every day you do the sun salutation and going to an intensive yoga retreat. That change transforms you in a way that's New Sound. And beyond is like the daily practice, the showing up. Now beyond also has grammar work. Beyond has vocabulary work, a lot of listening and shadowing, a lot of like taking the content and putting it into practice. Whereas New Sound doesn't focus so much on grammar. Like we, we get grammar strategies at the end. So I think the combination of the two is ideal. So if you've taken New Sound, the then beyond is the perfect continuation for it. But even if you haven't taken New Sound and pronunciation is not your main focus, then beyond is a great place for you to be in a community that gets you, that supports you and you get all the guidance in the world to stick to your habit. And just so you know, when we do open doors in March, my beyonders get a special price. So just so you know that if you're thinking about New sound, but it's too far away, it's going to happen in, in the beginning, at the beginning of April that you can be in beyond until then and you will get a special offer as well. So it's kind of like a win win. If you decide to be in both ho beyond doors will be open some other time. We will. I don't know when we're going to open it. Usually we do it every few months, every six months. So for, for the public we usually just. Yeah. Are there documents to download every practice group or every Live. Almost every live session with a coach also has a PDF to download. So all the videos or the, or the replays, the recordings of previous sessions that are already on the website, they have an attachment, like an attached PDF that you can download and practice with. Absolutely. We also have a very extensive practice library with a lot of PDF downloads. We don't want to overwhelm you, so we, you know, like, we help you organize it. But yeah, there are PDFs that you can download and save. Okay. For the beginner, have to follow beyond or New Sound. It depends what you. Wait, let me just remove this. For beginners, I would say, I mean, both are good for anyone. It's. It's really about how you want to practice. First of all, beyond is open now. New Sound is not open now. So you can actually take advantage of Beyond. And like I said, if you do decide to join New Sound after, you will get a special price. So it's not like you'll be, you know, spending money on everything. I wanna, I wanna, I wanna make it fair for you, but I also want to say that beyond is a great way to get into the groove of practicing every day. So if you do go through beyond, you build confidence to speak, you improve your fluency, right. You improve your ability to use English consistently. And then you can work on pronunciation and go deeper into understanding your mindset and doing something that is a bit more intensive. And that is also going to help you get to becoming a brave speaker or a challenger a lot more quickly. Right? It doesn't have to take years for you to feel like a brave person or challenger or even an influencer. In English, Beyond is worth every money, your investment. This is Wanda. Thank you, Wanda, my love. Wanda is a beyonder and a new sounder. Oh, Pina, you signed up. Yay. Well, I can't wait to see you there. The time of the session. This is a good question. We have sessions all throughout the day. So we have hosts from the, from, from East Asia, from Africa, from Asia, from Europe, from the U.S. latin America. We have people from all around the world, hosts from all around the world, and our coaches teach all throughout the the day. Okay. So we also have coaches all around, all over the world and we make sure to distribute it so that it's fair and that people get to work with, with a coach whenever they have time. You're not supposed to join all the lessons in, in Beyond. Think about it like, it's really like going to the gym. You don't need to go to all the different lessons, right? Like the Zumba and the Pilates and the yoga and the aerobics class. Forgot the word, right? Like in the belly crunch and all of those. Like you don't want to do it every single day, five times a day, right. So you only take the classes that fit your schedule and that you kind of like. And then sometimes you will change your schedule based on the lessons that you want to take. That's how it works. And it usually works for everyone. Okay. Eric is asking, is your teacher, do your teachers teach us English in a formal or informal way? You know, when I go to school, I understand almost everything, but I try to talk to native speakers. So it's difficult for me. I get it. This is why we have a lot of listening sessions. So we are help training you to understand better because it's a huge part of communicating in the language. It's not just about knowing English. It's about hearing, understanding, understanding different accents, understanding people who speak fast, who use reductions. Right. Who use expressions and idioms. So these are why we have the shadowing sessions, speech analysis and also. And mainly our listening comprehension like our listening practice groups. The cost for New sound is between $697. It's. Or you can also pay. That's the New sound. So I don't want to confuse you. It's not open right now. I just want to answer because they saw a few questions about it. So it starts from that price. We also have a very, very easy payment plan of 97amonth and that is going to be available in April. And I don't want to commit a hundred percent on the price because we haven't changed it since we opened New Sound three years ago. And. And I want to make sure like. But that's around that price. New sound beyond is 29amonth and you can cancel anytime. Washington says, I would like to obtain an annual subscription, but how do I pay once or more often? So once a year you pay this year. If you pay today, you're not going to get charged for 12 months. And you'll get a notification telling you that your 12 months are about to end. And if you want to join, just so you know that it's going to renew automatically. So it renews automatically. You can cancel it ahead of time. You can cancel in the middle and get a refund. So you only pay once. It's $290 for you pay for 10 months, but you get 12 months in total. Are you learning training with British accent or American? Do you train the learners British accent or American? Generally we use American English, but our focus is not so much on the accent as it is about clarity and pronunciation and being clear. And a lot of the sounds that we talk about are relevant for all dialects. When we do listening exercises, we listen to people from different, with different accents as well. So it's not just American. A lot of it is. Wait, I have to, I have to, I have to read this with you, Glenda. Beyond is the best place. I haven't found a better place to grow over time. The community is so supportive and lovely. The community has been a part of my life for a long time. Yeah, it's an experience beyond. Thank you, Glenda. You've been a special part of the community. You know, it's, it's, it's. We're all about personal development. Right. English is a tool to change our lives. And beyond is the environment to help you change your life using English, but also being a part of a community who is like minded. Right. Growth oriented, supportive and inspiring. Right. And if you take action, if you don't take action and beyond, or if you don't take the advantage of what you have, what beyond has to offer you. Yeah, it's probably not for you. Like, we want you to be active. If you're not doing anything in Beyond, I don't want to charge you for it for not taking action, but if you do, then you know, like, there is no way for you not to grow. There is no way for you not to develop personally and definitely in English and of course as an outcome, professionally as well. We have had so many people who changed their circumstances in their life, got better jobs, changed relations, like, improve their relationships because of, because of the work they've done and beyond. The offer remains Cassandra for a week. So doors are open. You can sign up for an entire week. You will get a link in the email. So don't worry if you don't have time to sign up right now. You will get an email later on today and a few reminders before we close doors so you can sit quietly and see if it's for you. But I would recommend it's, you know, like, if you can afford at least the first month, it's $29 a month. I recommend to just give it a try, see if it's right for you.
