Hadar Shemesh explains the difference between a fixed mindset, where you avoid speaking when imperfect, and a growth mindset, where you speak anyway, ask for help, and learn as you go. Your mindset is a choice that shapes how you learn English and everything else.
Let's say you're sitting in a meeting and you want to say something. A person with a fixed mindset would say, oh, if I say something and I get stuck and I can't explain myself because I don't have all the words, that means that I would fail or why bother? Because I won't be able to express myself freely anyway because I'm not good in English. And a person with a growth mindset would probably say to themselves, okay, I have something to say, I'm going to say it no matter what. If I get stuck, I'll just ask for help or I'll figure it out along the way. You are the thinker of your thoughts and how you see the world and how you think about things is all up to you. You can decide that you are going to operate from a growth mindset at any given second, but I also want to invite you to an event where I will help you step into that fluent mindset. We will talk about building strong learning habits. What keeps you stuck? The things that will help you break away from bad habits. In your English, but also in your learning experience. Because every person has their own personal path and you need to know what's right for you to be able to do the things that actually get you the right results.
