Hello, hello. Hello, everyone. Welcome to our Q A session. How are you doing? I hope you are well. I hope you're happy. I hope you are breathing today. I hope you are feeling your voice. I'm gonna wait a minute to. Until everyone joins in. And I see your comments and I see that you're here. So if you are here watching this, say hi. So I know that. I know that you're here. For now, I feel like I'm on my own, but I know I'm not. So let's see today. Yes. Okay, I got some comments here. Let me double check. Good. All right. Yes, I can see everyone. Thank you. It took a little longer than usual today. So if you're watching the replay, forgive me for trying to figuring figure things out before everyone joined live. This is how it is. It just feels very weird to speak to no one. To myself. I see myself, and that's it. Okay. So, hello. Hello. Monico. And hello. Let's see who's here. Erica and Maria and Alexandra and Luciana and Tatiana and Rosa. Lady. So it's really good to see you all. Some of you, I hope, participated in my masterclass yesterday, and I hope you enjoyed it. If you haven't yet, it was really interesting because I talked about five mistakes that most English learners make that prevent you from or prevent them from feeling confident and free and reaching breakthroughs in English. And in the second Masterclass, we had two yesterday. I think it was around 80% of the people who attended, almost like 200 plus people who said yes every time I asked, are you making this mistake? Now, I've collected those mistakes because these are things that I've been seeing my students do and that have been preventing them from actually getting results. And once they started shifting away from making these mistakes, they started seeing breakthroughs. And I gave you some tips on how to start overcoming those mistakes. So, first of all, I think it's really important for awareness to know what's holding you back, because, you know, these are crazy stats. 80% of the people make these mistakes. Watching, then it means something. And I definitely know that if you overcome them, you will see results. So if you haven't yet participated, it's coming up on Sunday. Two more sessions. So. So check it out. It's hadarshemish.com masterclass. And today, at the end of the masterclass, I also talk elaborately about new sound, which is also what we're going to do here today, because a lot of people throughout the entire pronunciation challenge have asked me a lot of questions about New Sound, which is my signature transformative program. And I wanted to take the time to answer all those questions. I didn't want to answer them in the middle of the challenge. So, so everything is collected and I'm going to answer all those questions. But before that, I actually want to walk you through a little bit what you're going to get when you join New Sound and what New Sound is. So New Sound is a program that is designed to get you through a very, very clear and effective roadmap to reach fluency. Now, what is fluency? It is a version of yourself where you are more expressive, more confident, words come easily to you, you are clear, you use your speech properly to get what you want, you get people to feel things, you know how to use your voice to get what you want. So that to me is fluent or more fluent or at least not a pale version of yourself. So that is, in my opinion, what fluency is, or I call it limitless fluency. And the idea is for you to get there. But to get there, you need to take a few elements into consideration. And all of those elements are included inside New Sound. And it's not, you're not going to get another course that teaches you present perfect and present progressive. Because I don't do that. I don't teach content unless it's pronunciation, but not grammar or vocabulary. I teach you strategies to implement the things that you already know or to learn more effectively when you are learning new things. So this program is designed to help you shift your mindset around how you use English, how you learn English, build strong, powerful habits, develop clear pronunciation. But also because the method that you use to do that is also the method that I would recommend for you to use to learn anything else in English. So you actually learn a method, but by doing the work, you develop the skill of learning things quickly and turning and creating new speaking habits. So all the things like you had a little bit of a taste of what we do inside the program, inside the pronunciation challenge, whether it was the mindset talks or whether it was the lessons, and if you enjoyed enjoyed it, then you are going to love New Sound. And of course, New Sound is not for everyone. It's a paid program. I know that some it would be possible for some people and maybe for others not. This is why we always offer these free events twice a year at least, and a lot of free content weekly so that everyone will be able to learn with us. But if you are able to make that investment and you loved the pronunciation challenge, you then New Sound would absolutely be for you. New Sound is comprised of 10 modules. And actually what I want to do is I actually want to take you through the page that explains New sound and walk you through it and explain it in my words, what it is so it's clear. And then I'm going to answer your questions and questions that I got asked. So give me a sec. All right, so this is the page. If you go to hadar shemish.com join and I'm sure that Amar will pop the link in. And you also got an email with this, this is what you're going to see. So you can play the video to hear me talk about New sound, but you don't have to if you're here. And then you can scroll through some explanation about the, the course and also stories of my students. Now this is the part that actually talks about New sound and I want to go through the content itself. So there are three elements to New Sound that I want you to know about. There is the core program, there is the live experience, which is all the live activities in addition to the core program. And there are bonuses that we're offering for free when you join New Sound. So first of all, the core program is comprised of 10 video modules that you consume and watch whenever you have time. There is no pressure whatsoever. You have lifetime access. Once you join New Sound, you have lifetime access to all the content and all of this is something that you do on your own. Okay, so the first module will help you build strong foundation. You'll understand what's holding you back, how to build learning habits, how to develop high performance English practice you're going to learn about more deeply and how to practice my pronunciation confidence method and so much more. So this is designed to lay out the foundation for any language learning journey. Language learning journey feels like a tongue twister. So I get a lot, I get asked a lot. Is it for beginners as well? So first of all, I don't define beginners. I don't teach content. I'm not expecting you to already know certain tenses to be able to attend the course. The only thing that I expect you to, to have is to the ability to understand me and my videos. If you're able to understand me, you are good to go. So once in, this module is designed to help you actually build the right, right foundation. So even if you're just starting out, this is perfect, perfect for you. So you don't develop habits that actually don't serve you. Modules two and three are all about consonants and vowels. So again, in the pronunciation challenge, we talked a little bit about the sounds, right? We talked about a few sounds and I'm sure that it was, sorry, a little, maybe overwhelming at parts and there is a lot. So here it's super clear, super organized. I also teach you how to give yourself feedback, how to know if you're practicing correctly or self analysis process and you're going to get, you're going to learn a bunch of key sounds in English. Same thing with modules four and five. Again, pronunciation, consonants and vowels. Now if you're an English teacher and you have done some pronunciation work in the past, I still think this is going to be extremely valuable because the nuances in the teaching meaning, like what happens if you hear this, what happens if you hear that? First of all, it's going to give you tools to know better what to do, but also how did it direct your students as well. So this is a great resource both for learners and for students. So modules 2, 3, 4, 5 are all about the key consonants of English. It's not all the key consonants and vowels. It's not about all the sounds. For that I have a bonus for you for all the other sounds that you might want to learn. Module 6 is all about the fluent mindset. Most of my students say that this was the most profound and important module of all because it really helps you reframe your entire learning and speaking experience. And after that, you know, after this module, I start seeing people showing up live more. I hear wins and stories about people asking for a raise and a promotion and speaking to their neighbors. So a lot of breakthroughs, breakthroughs happen after this module, which is exactly when people start losing motivation because it happens, you know, you can't stay very, very committed for many, many weeks, which is how the program is designed to make sure that it catches you in the moments where you feel like you can't continue until you learn how to build those habits. And then modules 7 and 8 is about the power of prosody. Intonation, rhythm, stress, everything that I talked about on day four where when it comes to prosody, here we take it and we break it down in dozens of lessons. Not Dozens, but around 15 to 18 lessons within those two modules with a lot of examples. We take each element of speech and we go deep. I give you tools on how to learn if you're using pitch, how to use your intonation, and a lot of shadowing and speech analysis exercises. In module number nine, we talk about the voice, how to use your voice, how to Use your breath, how to use your voice in an optimal way so you don't get tired and hoarse and exhausted after speaking. And you connect your voice to your emotions, which is so incredibly important. And module number 10 is about fluency. So here is where we go into the bigger strategy, strategies around fluency. How to build your grammar, how to build your vocabulary, how to build your listening skills, Body language, voice language, Body language. Not voice language, but just body language. And how to take it to the next level. And then so that is. That is module number 10. But on top of that, this is something that you get lifetime access to. And when you join the program over the first 14 weeks, and we're starting on March 29th, you go into a 14 week duration of a live of the live element of the program where you get a ton of guidance, coaching, live lessons and support. And here are just a few of the things that you're going to get in the 14 weeks of the program. Weekly live master classes and Q and A with me. So just like we had in the pronunciation challenge, every week we're gonna meet, I'm gonna broadcast live and I'm gonna review all the content of that week, what you've done on your own, organize things in your head, answer questions and give laser focus pronunciation feedback. Okay. So you can sign up for really quick pronunciation feedback on the things that we have learned that week. So that happens every single week except for implementation weeks. Implementation weeks is when there is no new module that is released and you just take the week to catch up and to focus on the things that you need to improve. We will also have mindset coaching calls with me with hot seats. What is a hot seat? A hot seat when, when you sign up to work with me one on one for 15 minutes and I help you dismantle some beliefs and obstacles that have been holding you back. And it's just an opportunity for us to talk and connect and talk about mindset and as a group and also as individuals. So that happens every other week in the program. You'll also have daily conversation groups with new sound ambassadors. Ambassadors are new sounders who have taken this program and are helping new sounders to get through it successfully. So you'll have daily opportunities to join amazing conversation groups. We'll also have pronunciation sprints, just like the practice groups that we had here, but more focused on the content that you learn. And you'll also have an opportunity to get feedback there. We'll have an amazing Facebook group where you can upload videos and ask questions and the last part, which is my favorite part, is a recommended daily practice schedule. So every day you will know exactly what you need to do, how much time it's going to take you to the like it's 28 minutes, right? And it tells you exactly how much time you need to invest. Now, of course you can spend more time doing the practice, but this is the bare minimum. So you know how to organize your time and you know what is expected of you. And it's between 30 to 40 minutes a day. There is a but you can play around with it. The program is very modular, so you can definitely do less and then catch up later, or do less and not do the exercises, but just watch the lessons. We give you a lot of options whether you want to do a little bit more or you want to do a little less. But we actually have a daily schedule. We also send daily emails if you want to subscribe to daily emails telling you what to do and what events do you have, you have each day. So that is happening. As you can see, we are obsessed with making it clear, with saving you time, with making sure that the time that you spend in the program is the time well spent that is going to get your results. Okay, so this is why we created all of this to support you. You're going to get access to all of the recordings afterwards for lifetime. Now there are all the options are here. So go to the website to see all the options. But I actually want to take you to the bonuses and I will talk about the prices in a second. So the bonuses are something that you get in addition for free when you join New sound and on the right you have the value. So this is how we sell them. Some of the programs we actually sell separately and you get all of that for free. So the practice toolkit is 56 daily recordings again to organize your pronunciation practice of speech. So you just listen and repeat and you have the text as well. Sprint Master. I hope you know my sprints. But if not, it's a 10 minute exercise that is a bit more intense than the practice toolkit. It's more like a workout and it's designed to help you build your pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. The sound bank is a bunch of lessons, PDFs and audios of all the sounds that were not included in the core program. So you will have access to it once the program is. The live aspect of the program is finished after 14 weeks. Because we want to make sure that you. We keep the momentum, you keep the momentum. Same thing with the speech bank. A great resource for you to practice speeches. And you also get 30 days in beyond, which is our English practice community. So right after New Sound you will be enrolled into beyond for you to be able to maintain the work, keep the momentum. And you get that for free as well. My vocabulary builder, which is a guide to help you boost your active vocabulary in three months. So again, daily exercises to do and to fill in to be able to to expand your active vocabulary. And for those who choose the pay in full option, then you also get a bonus, which is a public speaking workshop. So a lot of bonuses. You don't get all of it at the beginning. We break it like we kind of like build it up gradually, step by step so that so that you only focus on the things that are relevant now. And then after the program you will again, it's kind of like you get another entire course that is going to be there for you. It's like a library for you to always practice effectively in a way that you like in a way that is enjoying to you. Really. There is plenty for you to do, not just for the duration of the live program. So let me tell you about the different options that we have. Everything that I shared with you right now is the standard plan. Okay. And the standard plan, I'm going to scroll down a little bit. This is the price of the standard plan. It's either all of that and the value of everything that you get is over $3,000, right? Like the things that, whether it's the bonuses or the live trainings. And again, these are things that we actually offer as a company to companies that we work with or trainings that we do. And we offer it as an additional bonus or support for all of you as part of the program. And this is the price. So you can either start with one payment of $97 and then seven additional payments of $97 each, a total of eight payments. Or you can save $79 and get the public speaking bonus if you choose to pay in full. $697. Now again, I know this is not for everyone and don't feel bad if this is something that obviously if this is going to be in place of paying rent or getting the essentials that you need to survive, this program is not for you and it is okay. And like I said, we will have those live events every time, every twice a year. And I will keep producing content every week for you to learn with for free. But if you are able to make an investment in yourself and in your English, it's probably the best investment you can make because you will get so much to work with that you won't need to invest in additional programs. And really we see that our students are making a real change in their lives and a lot of those changes are paying off. Like getting a better job, getting a promotion, asking for a raise, making connections, starting a business, starting a YouTube channel. And all of that has a lot of gives you a lot of return on your investment. And the investment is not just a financial investment. It is an investment of time, of commitment, like you want to be able to do it. Now. One more thing that I want you to know is that you have a full money back guarantee when you join. So if you're not sure about the program, but you'd like to try it out, if you're not sure it's for you, I recommend that you just sign up and then you can see within the first two weeks. So the first two modules, you can check them out, test them out, and then decide if this program is for you. If it's not, then as long as you ask for a refund within the first two weeks of the program, you get all your money back, no questions asked. Like we might ask why not why didn't like it? Because we would want to learn and improve from it. But other than that, we're not gonna. There are no conditions, there are no hidden fees. So just so you know that if you are on the fence, you're not sure you get to try it out. So again, the first 14 weeks from the first day the first module unlocks, I think it's until April 9th, you get to be in the program within the refund period. Okay. Because I'm the type of person who likes to have freedom to choose and to change her mind. Okay. So Boucher says the daily recommendation helps me know what I need to do and organize my journey, depending on your time. This is great. And yeah, you've heard our incredible students two days ago and or three days ago and you know, their stories speak for themselves. If you go to the website and you, you click on Success Stories, you can see it, you will see it's not working. So team, it's not working. But if you go to Success Stories, then you will see that once they fix it, you will see almost 200 different stories of our students and you can filter it out based on, you know, what they, what they wanted to focus on whether it's pronunciation or English at work. So just listen to their stories. Don't listen to me. Just listen to their stories and see if this is something that you want to experience or not. And like I said, you've got nothing to lose because you have the 14 day money back guarantee. This is the standard program. Everything that I shared and agree with me that it is a lot and it's, it's a beautiful offer to allow you to know exactly what you need to do and to not get confused. And we always guide you on focus on the core content and the daily recommended schedule. And if you're off track, you have who to ask. Our team is there to support you all the time. We have an incredible team of ambassadors and success student success team and tech team. So we are there for you. You could, if you want pronunciation feedback for people who have, let's say, a lot of experience and they need to fine tune things or you don't have a lot of time and you want the best, you know, the best use of your time, then you could sign up for the new sound feedback option where you actually, after each lesson you send a video recording with your speech practice and you get video feedback from one of our incredible pronunciation coaches. This is a really good way and flexible way for you to get feedback on your speech. And these are the prices again, either a low monthly of 197 and 6 payments of this. So notice that these are payments. It's not a membership or anything, but we broke it down into payments. Or you can save $85 and get the public speaking bonus if you pay in full. And that is the feedback option. The reason why it's, you know, it's a bigger investment is because you get a private coach that works with you. We have several coaches, but they keep track on your progress and they know exactly what you need to work on. And, and you get a lot of time from our coaches to help you individually. Now our top tier, just like our VIP plan, is our coaching pods. So coaching pods also get the video feedback. But the interesting thing about the coaching pods is that you go through the program, you get everything that you have. But if you need to stay accountable and you want a coach to know you personally and give you live hands on pronunciation feedback and success coaching. So we set goals at the beginning and every week they will check with you. How, how are you doing with your goal? What are you doing to get there? Are you on track or are you off track? Why are you off track? If you're on track, what are you doing? Maybe we need to change it. Okay. And then when it comes to your pronunciation, so they will Be able to tell you, listen, in this module, focus more on this rather than on that. Now, I teach you how to do it and decide on it on your own. But sometimes there are some people who are busy or who are more interested in someone telling them what to do. Now, it doesn't exempt you from learning how to do it to yourself. This is a part of the program. We teach you how to give yourself feedback and to own your journey. But it's of course nice to have someone holding you by the hand that knows you exactly and knows exactly what you need. And these are the coaching pods, which I didn't even say what it is. You meet with your coach 12 times throughout the program, an hour and a half every week, same day, same time, except for a few weeks where you take a break because it's 14 weeks and then you have 12, 12 meetings. And it's limited. So it's limited to 60 students and we already had quite a few people signing up. So just so you know, if you're interested in it, it's seats are limited both for the coaching pods and for the feedback plan. And like I said, you have 100% money back guarantee. Now again, let's do a quick recap here with a page and then I'm going to be answering some questions. Can we get all the bonus lessons live time access as well? Yes, absolutely. Everything is recorded. So of course the live sessions are only in the 14 weeks of the program, but everything is kept in the program and you keep access to it for life. Really? What else did I want to say about this? Yeah, and the live lessons, I know this is a challenge for a lot of people. They're like, oh, but I. What if I don't, if I won't be able to attend live? And you are not supposed to join all the live lessons. Okay, this is something really important. We offer a lot of live lessons so you'll be able to do a little bit and, and have a lot of options to choose from because some people live in the US and some people live in Australia and we learn how to navigate with a global community. So we have sessions all across, across all time zones. So I want you to know that we take that into consideration. And we also don't expect you to show up to all the lives. I don't think it's good to show up to all the lives because the core content is in the video modules that you need to watch on your own. This is where the teaching happens. The live sessions are there to support you and you don't need that support three times a week. Okay. But you will have a lot of opportunities to practice. We do want you to put it into practice. And whether it's in conversation groups or we help you find a speaking partner one on one, you know, this program is really designed to help you learn, get support and feedback and even additional feedback if you want to sign up for the other plans and also implement it with other people as you speak. So like I said, you get the core program, 10 modules, the mindset, coaching, live masterclass, live pronunciation, sprints, daily Conversation groups, this, the Facebook group, the recommended daily schedule, 30 days and beyond, Vocabulary Builder, Sprint Master Practice, Toolkit, Sound Bank, Speech bank, all of that. This is the total value. So again, we don't charge this price because, you know, I don't, I don't think it's, it's. I don't want to charge this price, but I think that it is the value of all the things that you're getting. And, and by that I mean that the outcome or the, the, the things that it can help you achieve are priceless, really. Even if it's just a mindset shift. So this is your investment, or you can invest at $97. Now I'm going to talk about, answer some questions that you might have for me. I did last time. Special promotion for all old New Sounders. Yes, we will open the Live Experience. Sign up tomorrow. So look for an email. And New Sounders can always join the Live round, of course, at a, at a much better offer, but they can join all the live events and the activities and the conversation groups. So know that you can always do that when you join New Sound. You can do it in every future round of New Sound. So New Sounders wait for Thursday and then we're going to open doors for Live Experience. It's just like technical, easier for us to navigate because there is a lot that goes into opening doors. And this is why we decided to separate it into two separate days. Oh, this is a great question, Maria. I've seen incredible results in all New Sound students that I've watched. But I have a question. These results are from people that took the feedback. Extra classes or with standard program is enough. I believe that all if not most of the students that were there were in the standard program, and most of the testimonials that you're going to see are the standard program. You do not have to take the feedback or. I'm very confident saying that right now. Okay. You do not have to take the feedback and I'm and my team just fixed the success stories. So you'll see here all of the success stories. And I want you to know that most of the success stories that you're going to see are from students who, who took the standard program. Okay. It's designed to help you reach a breakthrough. The idea of the feedback and the coaching pods are first of all, it will save you time, it will hold you accountable because it's easier to stay on track when you know that you have a meeting with someone who knows you, who will check in on you if you didn't show up. Right. It's a lot easier to not do the work when it's just you. But if you're committed and again, the program gives you tools to build habits and to show up and there is a tracker and you are compelled to, to stay on track, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to see a breakthrough. Okay. A night says at first I stand up for the course, to pay it in eight months. If I changed my change my mind to pay it completely. Is it possible? Absolutely. Just reply. Everything is possible. Exactly. So, yeah, absolutely. Just send us an email and we will change your plan and you'll get the public speaking bonus. Okay. More questions. Let me see in the chat. Just saying it's best investment of my life. I'm assuming it's Lisandro. Lisandro, the daily recommended practice. Okay. This is news Sounders, so just really listen to our new sounders sharing their stories. Okay, let me questions. Here are the questions. So one of the concerns is time. And I want to tell you, like I said before, that we're very, very conscious of your time and we are very aware that you don't have hours and hours every day to spend practicing English. So we wanted to make it super clear, super specific and to make sure that you know what you need to do. And also you don't have to follow the program. You can create your own timeline. Right? And I think that this is the beauty of the program that you have lifetime access and you even if you don't follow the daily recommended schedule, you still have a clear path. And also our support team is there to help you and to make sure that when you, when you fall off track, then you know exactly what you need to do or they'll support you and tell you what you need to do. Sheena is asking, can you tell me what improvements you've made comparing to your old, your other courses? So yes, I had before new sound. I had accent makeover. And if you're an Accent Makeover student, then look for an email from me if you haven't signed up for New Sound because I have a specific email going out to you guys. Accent Makeover was focused mostly on pronunciation, and it didn't have all the other aspects of the strong foundation and the mindset and the prosody. I did teach intonation and rhythm, but it didn't go as deep as it is in New Sound. It doesn't have the voice work or the fluency strategies. But also the way the program is designed is really like this idea of getting you to the finish line so that I didn't have that in Accent Makeover. So this is something that is new and really gets people to the finish line. I've had students. One of our ambassadors, Leah, is, you know, she was an accent makeover student, but she never got to the finish line until she joined New Sound because of how it's designed and it keeps you engaged because it's a lot of different things, not just pronunciation, because also, I don't think just pronunciation is what you need. And also how I teach it. My previous program, Accent Makeover, I created it six years ago, and this was created two years ago. So obviously, I've learned a lot along those four years of teaching thousands of students, and I've implemented everything, and every new round of New Sound is new. Sometimes we're adding lessons, sometimes we like the live experience. This round is completely different. We really try to make it interesting for our students, but also for us and also to really nail down what they need. Right? So we always come up with a solution that is more precise and more exact. Now, the mindset. My English mindset is a completely different program. I have a lot of new sounders who have purchased my English mindset. My English mindset is actually. It's not even the same content. The concept is the same as the mindset module, but the mindset module is longer and deeper. And the My English mindset is designed to help you build those positive habits of positive thinking and growth mindset. So these are totally different programs, even though Mindset is discussed in both. Beyond is an English practice community. Now, beyond is an incredible community and a fantastic place to. To. To put in the work to that allows you many opportunities to practice that offers this incredible community for you, but it doesn't go deep into, first of all, the pronunciation teaching. So we do have pronunciation practice groups, but you don't go deep into understanding how your brain works and how your mouth works and building those Habits and we also don't go deep into all the teaching. So sometimes you just need to have something very chronological and in layered so that you can put the whole thing together. Because New Sound, because beyond is is there for you to create the right environment for you. But the real transformation that happens in a very short period of time happens when you do the learning and the teaching and all the things that new sound is kind of like help make helping you go through. And then I have the Sprint Master. Some people might have purchased the Sprint Master, which is again like an exercise. Every day you do 10 minutes of speech, pronunciation, grammar practice, and it's only 10 minutes. But that's the exercise, it's not the learning and it's not the teaching. And if you do have the Sprint Master, you do get sprint master 2.0. So it's an additional group of 30 sprints. But it will help you with a practice. But you if you want the internal transformation, whether it's like understanding how to use it, understanding how to use your speech, the new sound is for you. And again, the core is pronunciation and prosody. The core of the program which we don't teach anywhere else, like the how I teach pronunciation and prosody Inside New Sound is the most elaborate, comprehensive way that I've ever taught in any program. And beyond, for example, I, I just don't teach it. So if pronunciation is something that you're passionate about and prosody and using your voice, then this is where you do the learning. And then beyond, you just keep stay on track with your practice. Tatiana says, I don't I, if I understand I have not enough level of grammar, how can I improve with new sound? Well, simply by doing the lessons, simply by doing the speech exercises, joining practice groups. So just being in an environment that gets you to speak, speak and use English is what you need to be able to develop your speaking and develop your grammar. A lot of listening, a lot of shadowing, a lot of repetitions. This is going to help. Learning more grammar without using it is probably not going to help. It's not going to be as effective. Getting in the trenches, doing the work, practicing daily is what will improve, even if the foundation is not ideal. In module number 10, I will teach you how to identify your grammar challenges and, and then after you will have built already a strong foundation or a strong skill to practice, you will be able to do it. Okay, how long is it going to be and is it free? No. This is my paid program. This is my signature program that we only Open doors for twice a year and. And it. You basically get lifetime access to the program. But the live part of the program is 14 weeks. If I finish New Sound, what will happen next? So let me tell you, when you finish New Sound, this is where all the bonuses unlock. So you also get a lot of content to keep on practicing on your own with the Sprints and practice toolkit. But you are immediately enrolled in Beyond. You get a full month for free to see how it is if it's the right environment for you to continue doing this work, which is more laid back. It's not the intensity of New Sound of like learning and putting into practice. But beyond is the. It's like an English gym, right. It's there for you to keep on your strong learning habits. Let's see, what does hot seats mean? A hot seat is when you sign up to work with me individually or with one of the coaches individually in a session. So we have a zoom session and then we set. We share a form, you can sign up and then we select a few people to work one on one together. Okay. Another question. I've seen that on Saturdays there is model module review session at 9am EST. Every Saturday I have to take my little girl to music Academy. I can't attend. Is there any other sessions I can attend? Lucia. This is actually a session by one of the ambassadors, Leia, who is incredible. And those sessions are lovely. But these sessions I believe I. I'm not sure if it's going to be recorded or not. But just so you know that I also, I do a different master class that I review everything. It's going to be on Sunday. So all the things that are critical for your learning are going to be uploaded and, and you will be able to watch the replay. But we also have some lessons with ambassadors. Not a must necessarily for you to get through the content, but they're very helpful if you have time. So you definitely don't have to attend. But the module review with me because I will do a masterclass reviewing on the lessons. It's not going to be on Saturday. It's going to be on generally on Sundays. Okay. So yeah, the, the module reviews are not recorded, but these are like, these are the sessions that are supposed to support you. So it's like a conversation group where you just talk about the previous module and you share your experiences, which is really cool. Okay. Do you have live classes in new sound or just videos? So like I said, both. We have the, the core program which are recorded videos and we have a Lot of additional live lessons. What are the success rate of New sound students? So it really depends on what you define as success rate. Success rate could be just completing the program and. And success rate could be making meaningful changes to their lives. But generally speaking, when we survey our students, our satisfaction rates are very, very high. We do get the highest scores. When we get feedback, we implement it and we try to make changes. And we do get. Not everyone gets to the finish line at the end. People are busy. And it's, you know, 14 weeks is not. Not two days. Right. It's not even 30 days. So not everyone finishes all the content by the end. But that is okay. I guide you to do it. I often share it that when I take online courses, I never follow the curriculum of the program because I'm very busy. I take what I need, I do what I can, I learn when I. When I can, and I'm good with it. I'm not trying to keep up because I know that it doesn't work for me that way. And I wanted to design new sounds so that if you want to stay on track, you will be able to, but you don't have to. But what we see is that our students are doing the work. They come back to the. For the live experience because they love it so much and they like to be a part of the community because it gives them like this motivation and boost. And every time there is something new that they're discovering about this work. And you can retake new sound over and over again. So again I would recommend for you once the page is fixed and you'll see all the photos there that I think currently are not there. Just sending messages to my team. Then I will. You will be able to see for yourself, really. I want their stories to speak for themselves so that it's not just me talking about the program. It really is the. The experiences that they've had. You'll listen to their videos. Okay, so what is the difference between Accent makeover using the old materials from AXA Makeover when signing or signing up for new sound? So I have an email going out today that talks about the difference between accent makeover and new sound. So go and read it because it's very specific for specific people. I believe that New sound is a completely different experience with a. With different resources, different lessons. It's. You get a whole lot. So go check it out. What happens after the course? Can I still be in the community of new sounders and get supported? So the group itself is. Is only available for the 14 weeks. But if you want, you can join Beyond. You get the first 30 days for free, which means that you'll be able to stay inside the community. But if you decide not to join beyond, then you're not going to be a part of an active group. But usually what happens is that people make such strong connections and they find conversation partners and they keep this relationship for, you know, between them. They don't need a group. They still make that stay on, stay in touch and keep their speaking partners. So just, just so you know. Okay, how many, how much time do I need to, to invest? I always have a super busy schedule. I heard from Hadar that this is actually designed for the busiest people. So like I said, yes, it is because I'm a busy person and I'm creating a program that I would want to take. Um, so like I said, the daily recommended schedule is somewhere around 30 minutes, sometimes more, right? Sometimes 40 minutes. And sometimes you will need to invest more, but sometimes less. So I tell you what, you can do less. So if you're really busy, I'll tell you, just watch the videos, don't do the additional practice if you don't have time, can do it tomorrow. We have implementation weeks three where we don't teach new content. So you will be able to catch up. And sometimes if you fall off track, what you do, you. We tell you, either you reach out to us and, or, and we'll help you or we'll guide you. Just don't complete the previous modules. Just start with us. Let's say you, you haven't done the, the module about the second part of consonants. So we'll tell you, don't worry about it. Do it after you're done with new sound. And in the meantime, start with us in the mindset module so you'll feel like you're a part of. You know that like when we talk about mindset in the masterclasses, you'll feel a part, part of it, right? So we, we also help you navigate through it. Okay, so is new sound available for enrollment? Yes, it is. So just go to hadar shemesh.com forward/join and you able to join. I would like to know about the payment. Is it one full payment or monthly? So for each plan you can either choose full or monthly. It's not monthly, it's a payment plan, right? It's not and this is an often a confusion, it's not a membership. So you don't only pay for the duration of the program, we just take the full price. And then we break it down into smaller payments. So it's $97. Eight payments of $97. But if you decide to pay in full, we wanted to make it more possible. So we gave you like There is a $79 discount and you get a pay in full bonus, which is a public speaking bonus. So you can choose either the monthly investment or the pay in full for each one of the plans. Standard feedback and coaching pods. Are we going to have daily sprints? Would you recommend someone who was in accent makeover to join New Sound? Okay, I saw this question. My answer is yes, absolutely. And you will have daily sprints because you get the Sprint Master 2.0. Sylvia, I've been waiting for this course since last year. When will the next enrollment start? I'm so excited to be a part of this community. I put myself on the wait list for a few a few months ago. So it's open and we would love to have you there. Sylvia, if my English is at a beginner's level, am I qualified to take this course? A hundred percent. Not only that, I think it would be so valuable for people who are just starting out to take this course because it's going to create the right foundations for you to succeed and everything that you will learn will be faster, more effective. You will have the right mindset. So really, like I think this course is, is something that is most valuable to take at the beginning before you already create certain habits for yourself. Right. As long as you can understand my videos. If you can. 60%, 80%, 70%. But if you cannot understand my videos, then it's going to be hard for you to stay on track. And then I would say, okay, focus on developing your listening first. How is New Sound organized? I love this question. I already see how you think. Okay, so calendar, meeting, speaking. How many live lessons per week? Who can join us and how many people in the course? You're like, give me, give me the details. I want to understand how it works. So we enroll usually a few hundreds of people. But the live sessions, if we have conversation groups, we break it into smaller groups in the conversation group. So you have breakout rooms. So you get to work with people in like either one on one or two, three people in a. In a conversation group. In a breakout room, when it comes to feedback, you can sign up and work with me one on one. So I teach everyone like a zoom call. But then people can like, I select people to work with me one on one in the coachings, in the weekly master class. Same thing with the pronunciation practice delivered by Christina and Jelena so that these are the live events that are happening. And in terms of we know how to manage a large group of people and still make you feel like you are, you have an individual experience. Experience. Now of course, if you want something more tailor made and more like a small group, then the coaching pods is a good solution for that. So in terms of the calendar in the meeting, I, I think you can actually check out, I don't know. Yelena, do we have an example of the daily recommended practice? Maybe in the FAQ page, but if there is you, you can share it. But basically you have a lesson that you watch and then you have practice. So for every lesson, pronunciation lesson, there is the lesson where I teach you how to pronounce something. And usually it's not just oh, this is how you pronounce it. We actually practice together, very challenging or simple words and I explain to you what would be the potential challenges. And then there is a video that is called Practice guide and this is where it teaches you to know if you're on the right track or not. If you're practicing correctly, to check if you're doing something with your mouth, if you're hearing something, with your voice, if you're seeing something. And then you'd know if you are on the right track or not. This is how you give yourself feedback. And then there is like a few stages that you go through to understand as you learn each lesson. And then there is a quiz at the end. So these are the pronunciation lessons. But then we have the weekly masterclass where I review everything and the live lessons. Okay, we don't have it. We can, I can share screen, but it's fine. So like basically what every day, every recommended, like the recommended schedule tells you watch this lesson, then do this practice with PDF and audio. And then sometimes we have time for you just to join one of the conversation groups and practice speaking. And, and we tell you exactly what to practice and how to practice. And in terms of the calendar, like I said, it's a, it's, it's. We have sessions throughout the entire calendar because we do work with people from all around the world. But the idea is for you to choose the sessions that fit your schedule. What if I'm unable to conclude all the activities of new sound in the scheduled time? Maria, we assume that you won't be able to do it and it's fine. We really do our best to help you get to the finish line, but if not, it's not a problem. Because not only that, you still keep access to everything. You get more things, you get more bonuses at the end of the scheduled time, right, like at the end of the program. So the only thing that you're not going to have access to is the live lessons unless you join Beyond. And like I said, you get the first 30 days for free where you have daily lessons there that you can sign up for and be a part of a community and get guidance and coaching from our coaches. So we want to keep you safe. If you have joined our world, you will be taken care of. You will always have an answer. And even if you decide to continue on your own and not to join beyond afterwards, you, you will have clarity around what to do. You'll have the recommended daily practice, 10 minutes of a specific speech practice every day and the sprints and you can do the program again. So it's very organized and do not worry if you don't get to the finish line. Like I said, a lot of our students, you know, it's just a question of capacity. I need a tutor that can help me pinpoint nuances of my pronunciation, give me a way how to speak so I that I know what to focus on. Do you guys have any? Yes, absolutely. So if you want to work with a coach, you can either choose the feedback option or the coaching pods, which is our top tier where you have a pronunciation coach that is going to give you very specific feedback on everything. You meet with them once a week for 90 minutes and you get exactly that. But even if you don't want to join the live group, you can choose the feedback option where you submit your videos and then you get a video feedback in return. But the live coaching is the best because like you, they can correct you and then you can make changes and then you can work together and ask questions. So if you can make that investment and join the coaching pods. I know it's not for everyone then this is the most tailor made specific hands on coaching that we have. And the groups are small and usually you also practice speaking and get feedback on your speaking. So it's not just pronunciation, like checking the pronunciation, not just when you do the drills, but also when you speak with others. How long is the training? So tech the the live experience? The live part of the program is 14 weeks and we're starting on Monday March 29th and it's open right now. Doors are open and they close on March 23rd. Can you tell me what improvements or updates have you made compared to your old course? Oh, I think I answered this question. All right, my friends, I think I have answered all the questions. I speak very poor English. I. Let's reframe that. You are. You don't have a lot of experience speaking in English and you need more experience. And I don't pronounce like, but I don't pronounce terrible. Do you have a course for me? So here's the thing again. New sound is. Could be for you. If you understand my videos and you want an opportunity to. To learn and to practice and to improve all of the aspects of fluency, focusing on pronunciation, then absolutely new sound is for you. But if it's not, you have two weeks to find out because we have a refund period, a 14 day money back guarantee, no questions asked. So you join and then you try it out. And if you do the work, you will see a difference. And if it's right for you, you will know if it's not right for you. I honestly don't want you to invest your money in something that is not right for you. I don't want you to be in my program if it's not good for you. So this is why we offer this option. However, we are very strict. So you will need to make a decision within the first two weeks and. And then you'll get your. Your. Your money back if it's not right for you. Okay, my friends. Okay. Alexandra is asking about the speaking in public, how it works. So it's comprised of three major parts. One talks about preparation and how to prepare and how to structure your presentation. Actually, no, the first part is just about structuring your presentation. It gives you two different methods to structure a presentation. And it doesn't even have to be a work presentation. It could be a video that you're presenting. Right. The second part is about preparing for a presentation with the focus on English. How to prepare, taking into consideration also everything that you've learned inside of New Sound. How to overcome the fear of public speaking. So some tips around that. And also storytelling for non storytellers, how to use stories and how to incorporate stories into your presentations and videos and speeches. So you get that for free at the end of the program. It is available, but we want to make sure that you don't go through it before you go through the program because we do refer to things that you should learn in the program. And also we don't want to overwhelm you. So you get that when you join the. When you choose the painful option. So there you have it. Okay, I have to go because 27th. See, it's good that I have my team to tell me when we were starting our programs. You guys, thank you so much. I really hope to see you inside of New Sound and if not, then know that you, you know, you always have a place with us in the program. The content of the pronunciation challenge is still available for you to watch for another week or so. So make sure you watch it, make sure you take advantage of everything. And if you have any other questions about New Sound, we are here for you. We have a lot of our students inside the program, inside the group, so feel free to ask them. And you're invited now to join me on my Instagram because I actually have a live with Ibrahim who is a New Sounders and he's going to share his success story. So I hope to see you there and if not, in the meantime, I'll see you around. Take care my friends. Thank you so much for your time and see you. See you soon.
