And even if you know me from YouTube or from the podcast or maybe you just saw a post and you joined, I want to quickly take a few minutes to introduce myself. So hi, my name is Hadar the and I am passionate about helping other people understand how they can simplify spoken English, how they can simplify the process of learning English and speaking speaking English. I do it through pronunciation and mindset and effective practice. This is how I do it. I have a team of about 15 people from around the world who are devoted to the same mission and I have thousands of students in my online programs and even offline in Israel, which is where I live. So I wasn't born in the US or Canada or an English speaking country. I was born in a non English speaking country. I wasn't speaking English at all until the age of 15. I was a pretty bad student. This is me, tiny little me at the pool. And yeah, I wasn't exposed to English. English is my second language. And when I was 21, I decided to move to New York to study acting. At first I moved there just just to hang out and I worked a little bit as a bartender and I made friends. And then I decided that I want to stay there and study acting, which is eventually what I did. I studied acting and I participated in different plays and everything was in English. I had to work on my pronunciation and accent in English and I required different dialects of English as part of my training. And this is where I fell in love with with English, and I discovered things about using pronunciation to level up your English. And this is what I started doing as soon as I moved back to my home country at the age of 25. This is me with my family. This is from our recent trip to Germany and the Netherlands. This is Gil, my partner, and our two daughters, Amalia and Asya. As you can see, we're playing cards. And as he is trying to hide the face of the person behind us because we're very respectful of people's privacy. And we accidentally took a photo of him as well. And this is me in our community meetup last October in New York City. I live for my students and my community, and this was one of the happiest events that we had where people from all around the world gathered together to celebrate their English and our connection together. So that is to say, I'm very passionate about what I do, and I hope I can share a little bit of my passion and knowledge, the knowledge that I've acquired over the last 15 years teaching English and before that, learning English myself. And help you reach your goals in English and speak English with clarity, confidence, and freedom. So today I want to talk about what to expect inside the training. Are you ready? The first thing you're going to see in the training and the most important thing is the core training. It's the five days where I'll be teaching you different things every single day. Okay, so in a second, we're going to talk about the different trainings, but this is a core training. If you don't have a lot of time to do all the things we have to offer, remember that the core training is the most important thing, and that's how you're going to get the most value. Every day. Throughout those five days, I'm going to be teaching you for about an hour and and focus on different aspects that will help you speak English with a lot more clarity and ease. I believe that pronunciation is critical, not just for sounding better and clearer and like a native. No, it's essential to improve everything about your English from vocabulary, grammar, confidence, of course, speaking with ease, reducing tension, improving flow, and of course, being able to say what you want and get what you need. And, of course, loving your voice along the way. The core training is designed for that. We also have practice groups because we want to make sure that you implement what you learn. Or if something was not clear, it's an opportunity to review it along with My amazing pronunciation. Coaches Jelena and Christina. Jelena and Christina have, have been working with me for years, and they basically take the content that I teach and they put it into practice. They show you how to use it and they go a little deeper. So it's an opportunity to dive deep into the daily content. So every day you're going to have the core training and a practice group. Remember, everything is going to be recorded. But I don't believe that learning and just perceiving information is enough. You have to put things into practice. We are all about implementation, and if you're part of my programs, you know that we're also all about community because community is essential for you to be able to actually grow, improve, do the things you say you're going to do, and get inspired and motivated by the people you surround yourself with. It's so important to create a healthy and safe environment for yourself. And these conversation groups are designed to provide you with that so you're not on your own. Conversation groups and the Facebook community. So conversation groups are an opportunity for you to join on Zoom and speak to one of our incredible ambassadors and conversation facilitators. They're people, either students of mine or our team members, who are going to offer a conversation topic or an activity and we will break you down, break you into small rooms. We won't break you down, but we'll break the session into small conversation rooms and you'll get to speak with one, two or three people, sometimes one on one, sometimes in a small group. The most important thing is that you'll be able to practice your speaking on steroids over those five days. Okay? So you will fully feel supported, which is what we want. Now, if you're wondering how you can hear about updates and when things happen and you know where to put your focus when it comes to communication. So first of all, everything is over email. Everything that we need you to know, we will notify you over email. You'll get daily emails telling you about the sessions and what's coming up. We'll send you reminders before the core training updates if something changes. Everything's over email. So make sure your your our inbox. No, the emails that you get from me go to your inbox and not your promotions tab if you have them. And if you do, then you can drag the email into your inbox, especially if it's on inside spam. So if it's check your spam folder. If our emails get there, make sure that you pull them out, all those spammy emails and put them in your inbox so that you get those emails and you don't miss out a thing. We also communicate over our website. Important updates are going to be there. The calendar is there, the events are there. Some of you are currently watching this on the website. So you can watch the lives on the website or inside the Facebook group and everything is there. Okay, so this is the pronunciation, English pronunciation made simple portal. That's where you'll find the replays. That's where you'll find pretty much everything. Okay, so that's the second place you'll find updates and information. You'll also see the calendar there. The calendar that you see on the website is in your own time zone. Okay. We found in a software that will show you all the events in your time zone. So don't worry about it. But I highly recommend, don't worry about like converting, converting times. Just as a side note, for many years when I was still on my own, I didn't have this great team to set up all those things for me. I would always mess up the hours. I would tell my students, okay, I'll see you at 6am EST and it would be like 3, 3pm and like I would always mess it up over email when I was speaking live. Until we started using all those tools to help us know exactly, you know, to help our students know exactly when the sessions are. The best thing you can do if you want to stay on track with the schedule is to sync the calendar with your Google Calendar. Even if you don't use Google Calendar, you can sync it and then again see it in your time zone and be aware of all the things that are happening now. Because we're serving people from all around the world, I need you to know that there will be sessions throughout the entire day. We have team members from all around the world and this is why we have sessions at different times. So sometimes the sessions are going to be when it's night for you. It's okay. You don't have to attend all sessions. Just attend the sessions that you can. Don't push yourself. Don't overdo it. Do the bare minimum. Do a little extra if you want to, but don't overdo it because you're, you'll get burnt out. Okay? By the way, all the zoom links for the sessions are inside the calendar. You'll also get it in the email. But if you're like, oh, where, wait, how do I join? So all the zoom links are going to be inside the calendar. You click on the event and then you'll see the Zoom link. Okay, so it's either in your daily email or. Or in the calendar. All the sessions are on Zoom except for the core training. The core training is just like this. Live. It's going to be a live broadcast on Facebook and on the website, and everything else is going to be on Zoom. Okay, good. This is how you sync it with your. With your calendar. And then finally, we'll also share updates inside the Facebook group. I understand that not everyone's on Facebook, so this is our last option. We first update over email and then on the website and then also on Facebook for people who hang around and spend more time on Facebook. I know it's not everyone, so don't worry. Facebook is not a must. However, if you are a member of the Facebook group, take advantage of it because it's an amazing opportunity to connect and to practice your English. So if you are in the Facebook group, let me remind you a little bit of our ground rules. If you haven't read them just yet, first, respect, compassion, and kindness. These are our values, and we stick to them. And anyone who does not play according to the rules is going to get kicked out of the group. If we see people who are not respectful, who don't show compassion, who make fun of other people, who are not kind, who are mean, it's not the place for them. All right? No negotiation here. Zero tolerance to aggression and negative energy in general. Okay? We are here to have fun. We are here to learn. We are here to empower each other. If this is not what you want for yourself, then this is not the place for you. Okay? No hard feelings. Just not the place for you. Another important thing, my friends, please, please, please, please. No private messages, no friends. Requests of people who don't know you. Only until you establish a connection in the comments, then you can. And even after the training, okay? Now, during the training, only then you can ask frat for to be Facebook friends or send messages. I forbid sending private messages. We've seen, we had years where someone would post a video and then they would get like 50 different friends requests from people they have no idea who they are or a bunch of messages, including marriage proposals. Okay? Please. No. No way. Not here. So no messages. We're here to learn. We're here to connect. And we will do it in the Zoom calls and inside the Facebook community. And after the training, if you make good connections with other people, by all means you can decide together that you want to become Facebook friends. Amazing. We have such incredible community of people who are Friends. But it's not just by random requests. It doesn't happen through random requests. I'm very passionate about this. And if you're getting messages from people you don't know, please send a screenshot to one of our admins, especially Ammar. I'm going to tag him after. He's going to be in the comments telling you hi. So please send him a message. And we'll also put our email there so that we know who we need to remove. Good. Okay, wait, wait, wait. I messed up here. Okay? No feedback on others. English people are not posting videos to be corrected, right? Even if you notice that someone and even if you want feedback, this is not the place. Not in your live videos, not in your videos that you're posting. The idea is to be prolific, to create a lot, to make videos, to go live, to create freedom for yourself. And usually that is not aligned with feedback from strangers, from feedback from people who are not trained to do it and know how to do it. Okay, you might get feedback from your coach in a practice group. Usually we don't get feedback, but sometimes there are questions. So. Yes, but other than that, if we see anyone correcting anyone else on their English, they're going to be blocked. Not blocked. We will restrict their. Their activity and even remove them if it's not changing. So please remember we are here to thrive. We are here to empower each other. And sometimes giving feedback, even though that you have the best intention is not what people want. Sometimes someone might post a video after not speaking for three years because they've been criticized for like forever. And finally they gather the courage and they do it and then they get a comment on their English. That's the last thing we want to see here. And I'm telling. These are real stories that I'm telling you, okay? So please cooperate. And no feedback. And even if you want feedback, this is not the place. Connect, communicate and speak. Really take advantage of this incredible, lively and lovely community and try to make as many friends. Maybe you'll find a conversation partner that will stay with you for the next few years. Again, these things have happened. You'll make connections, you'll feel great about meeting people, people from all around the world in the conversation groups. Don't be shy and make videos and post them. No one's going to judge you. And if they will, they have a business with me, okay? So you are safe. It's an opportunity for you to do things differently because what got you here won't get you there. If you've Been safe and shy and, you know, you limited yourself and you didn't want to expose yourself up until today. You know, has that helped you? And if not, what are you willing to do differently to see different results? This is why we're here, okay? Remember that everyone can learn with us, including you and including people who don't see eye to eye with how you see the world. And that is okay as long as they're respectful. Let's talk a little bit about the plan that we have for you. So day one, which is tomorrow, the official beginning of the pronunciation training. We are going to talk about sounds. We're going to talk about consonants and vowels and how to reverse engineer your accent, which means how to know what to focus on and not spend your time on things that don't get your results. That's day one, very exciting. I just reviewed the slides, pretty prepared and I cannot wait to teach you all of that. Then on day two, we're going to talk about connected speech. Usually this topic is not addressed enough and people don't get enough tools to understand how to do it. I have four practice techniques to share with you to learn how to use connected speech in your speaking because it's so important for your clarity and for sounding without tension, sounding effortless, and for understanding others. So even if you haven't put a lot of thought into connected speech, I highly recommend that you check out day two, that you attend day two and you do the exercises that we recommend. Day three, pitch and intonation. This is where we're going to talk about sounding versatile and delivering a clear message and using your voice to get what you want, say what you want to say, and understand people and nuances really clearly. And then day four is all about rhythm. Rhythm is the secret sauce of any language. It's how you flow through the words together. It's the internal rhythm of the language. Usually people don't learn it, learn it in school. It's really hard to implement it without the right tools. So on day four, I'm going to do my best to give you all the tools you need to to understand the difference between the rhythm in your own language and the rhythm of English and how to put it into practice. And as you know, it's not about learning, it's about putting everything into practice. On day five, I'm going to share with you some of my favorite pronunciation practice techniques, the most effective techniques, and we're going to talk a little bit about mindset and what is needed for you to see results, feel the progress and hear the change. Okay. Sounds connected speech. Pitch and intonation rhythm. And simple and effective pronunciation practice. So my friends, are you ready to get started tomorrow with a five day pronunciation training? Tell me, let me see in the comments. Put yes in the comments. You if you are ready to get started with me with a five day pronunciation training. Good. Okay. I'm seeing some yeses. I'm seeing some readies. You know, I need this because that gets me excited about tomorrow. I'm already excited, so now I'm like beyond myself. I can explode with excitement. Not kidding. Make sure that the fire. Fire services are around. Okay? Okay. Okay. Okay. Great job. Okay, so now I want to see if you have any questions for me. If you have any questions, please write them in the chat. If you have written a question and I haven't answered it, then you might want to type it again because it's lost. You'll see that when I teach, I have to stay focused on teaching and I can't read comments because then you'll see me doing this. So anyway, you'll see me like going into the comments and stopping speaking, which is not great while. While being live. Okay. Okay. I want to show you a comment. And this is why we do it. Because of your strict rule, I feel secure to upload videos and I can freely join Zoom events. That's the feeling I want everyone to have. Okay, and this is why we do it. Because if someone posts a video and starts getting comments, even like positive messages inside their inbox, it feels intrusive. Right? If it happens inside the Facebook group, amazing, great. But once it leaves the Facebook group, think about it like your home versus your school. Right? When you're in school, when you interact with people, that's great. But then all of a sudden, someone knocks on your door and starts giving you feedback or comments on something that happened at school. A little weird, right? So let's respect that those boundaries. Okay? Questions? No questions. Okay. To join Zoom, do we need a Google account? No, you do not. You don't need a Google account. You just need a browser. And you don't even have to download Zoom to your computer. You could, but basically you just click the link and you make sure you have stable Internet connection and that's it. Okay. How can we have your videos for own practice? If you are talking about the recording videos from the training, then we will upload it right after the session to the website. You have a link to the website. It's linked. It's going to be linked inside the Facebook group. Look at the daily post that we're going to post and it's going to be in your inbox. So you will just remember if you're looking for something inbox, website or the pinned posts inside the Facebook group, this is where we share all the links. This is, this is where you know you'll find most of the answers to your questions. Okay, so Kara says, how do I make sure I get the zoom link? The zoom links are going for all the daily conversation groups are a going to be in your email, the daily email that you get from us. Okay so at the beginning of the day you'll open. So make sure you our email is getting into your inbox. If you're not sure, you can just save our email address as in your contacts and it will help the email get to your inbox for sure. So in the email you'll get a link to all the zoom calls of that day. And also it's in the calendar. So if you click on the event in the calendar you will see the zoom link there. What happens after the five days of training? The group is not going to close. We're going to keep the group available until around the 18th. So all the content and the group is going to be available to you until the 18th of September. I do have another master class that I'm going to open registration for next week and that is more about mindset and confidence and strategy. So it's not about pronunciation. So you will have another live through free training to join once it's available. I'll let you know where that is. And after the master class for people who decide to continue with us, we are also going to open our program New Sound but that will happen in mid September. But until then you have access to all the free content until September 18th and we will tell you step by step what you need to do. We also have our influency community, our free community and please, plenty of opportunities to continue with us or on your own. Great question. Fernando is asking people have different difficulties depending on their native language. How do I, how do you address it? This is an excellent question and shows that you have put in some thought into this. And my answer is that I teach you how to identify your own challenges. So I actually have a flowchart where you will be asking yourself specific questions about sounds that you use and you will have to identify your priorities based on that process that I'm going to teach you. So even speakers of the same language might have different challenges. Some, you know, let's say Spanish Speakers, some might struggle with the R and others won't. Right. French speakers, Korean speakers and Spanish speakers might all struggle with the R, but they will have other issues related to rhythm, intonation, prosody. Prosody is intonation, rhythm, stress, all of that. So it's real. Like, it's important to understand the challenges that you have as a speaker of a certain language. But at the same time, you also need to understand what's more important, what's less important to you. I make my trainings very, very personal. So you will find and take what you need to fit your needs. Okay. And your level. The training will help me with my fluency, right, Abdallah? Absolutely. Now, in fact, in 30 minutes, I'm going to go live on my Instagram account for a training called how pronunciation can help you with fluency. Because I believe that pronunciation is not just about sounds and sounding clear. It can help you improve grammar, vocabulary, fluency, flow, every, like delivering a message, confidence, and so much more. How available the language is simply by working on your pronunciation. So the answer is yes. And if you want to go a little deeper, you can join me for the live on my Instagram account. Will the other lessons recorded other than the core meetings? Yes, just the practice groups. We don't record the conversation groups. First, to provide privacy for the students and second, because at a given moment there will be, you know, probably hundreds of different conversation rooms and we're not going to record all of them. I want to know after this course we can be great in pronunciation. Well, you'll get the foundations where for understanding what you need to focus on and how to practice effectively. So five days is not enough to transform your pronunciation completely. You need a little bit more time than this, but I will give you the foundation and clarity around what you need to do. So the answer is not, you know, pronunciation is not going to change within five days, but you will start noticing improvements, specific improvements in your rhythm, in your pitch and in sounds. And also you will have a lot more clarity as to what you need to do next. Because it's a. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. And you know, like it's ongoing work each day. Will it last an hour? About an hour. So I'm planning for my training to be about 45 minutes and then 15 minutes for Q and A. Okay. Will it be different from the seven day pronunciation challenge? Well, some elements, you know, when it comes to pronunciation, there will be similar elements. The way I teach it is different. What I address is different. I Teach things that I haven't taught in the seven day pronunciation challenge. So it's completely different content. I recreated the entire training. But of course, when I teach rhythm or when I teach intonation, sometimes I use the same element or explanations to teach some of these elements because ultimately these are the core elements. And I don't want to teach things that are completely unrelated, but how it's designed and how it's taught. And for example, we go deep into connected speech, we go deeper into intonation, rhythm and intonation and pitch, which is something that I haven't taught. I teach you an overall view of sounds. So if you have been to the seven day pronunciation challenge, there's definitely a lot that you're going to learn here. If someone joins Zoom just as a listener, will it be a problem? Here's the thing. If not a problem if you join the practice groups, yes, a problem if you join the conversation groups because the purpose of the conversation is to join. So imagine what happens if they pair you with someone or one on one, and the other person wants to practice speaking and you are, you don't have your camera on or you're not speaking. So I would recommend not to join the conversation groups if you're not interested in speaking whatsoever because the purpose is speaking. But it's okay to join as a silent listener to the practice groups. Okay. However, if the reason why you're not. You don't want to speak is fear, okay, then maybe it's time to challenge that perception that it's, you know, like, that you need to wait or to hide or that you're not ready. And maybe it's time to say to yourself, okay, this is the safest place for me to speak English. No one's expecting me to be perfect. No one's going to hopefully judge me. And if they do, I have a net of support. So maybe it's an opportunity for you to say, hey, let's, let's just do it. Let's do things that I haven't, that I don't normally do. Okay. Unless you're listening when you're at work and you can't speak. And then. I get it. Do you offer other online courses? Well, technically, I have two main courses. I have New Sound and Beyond and I have different other courses, like a mindset course and my Sprints, which are an effective way to practice everything about your English. Some are currently available, others are not, so. But New Sound is my signature course and like I said, we will open doors later in September. Is the tongue twister exercise help with learning an accent. It helps you organize sounds in your head and control the sounds in your mouth. It's a fun way to get warmed up to clear your diction, to notice that you're like to make a distinction between similar sounds. It's a great tool for practicing your accent and your pronunciation. When I studied acting, I trained myself. I used to have a very distinct non native accent. Everyone would ask me where I'm from, right. I couldn't hide it. I couldn't fake it. Back then I wanted to be considered as American because I wanted to get cast in shows where, you know, portrayed by American characters. So it was important for me to acquire an American accent and not to be recognized as someone else. And part of my work and part of my studies was actually practicing challenging sentences and tongue twisters. So I can tell you from my own experience that it has helped me. However, for some people, it just doesn't click or it's too hard and then I wouldn't recommend doing it because there's no point in doing something that makes you suffer. Joyful learning. Mayan. What should we do before the next webinar? On Tuesday, which is the day after tomorrow, I'll like. I'll add a link to register to the daily email. So don't worry about it. You'll know when you can when to join. Do we need to print any material? You can actually fill out the workbook. Okay. If you download it, you can fill it out so you can keep it online. But if you're a person that likes to write with your hand. I'm. I'm that type of person. Everything is. Well, it's a new. It's a new notebook. But I do like to write everything to make sure that I learn it the correct way. So you should download it, but it's not a must. You should print it, but it's not a must. Okay. Can't wait to join Zoom. Even though your schedule mess up my sleeping time. Girl, I hear you. I'm sorry. I hope it won't mess it up too much. Okay. We will make it worth it. I'm going to. I speak with an American accent. A lot of the sounds of American pronunciation are the same as any other accent in English or dialect. Okay. British, American. Like a lot of the sounds are the same. I'm not necessarily going to teach teach you every single sound. I have an entire program where I do it in three months. So we won't be able to do it in five days. But the elements that I'M going to be teaching you in this training. Are relevant to all accents. Okay. All dialects of English. Okay. All right. So a quick. Is the video mandatory on zoom? Not mandatory, but in a conversation group or room it's easier to make connections and for people to trust you when they see your video. Like just imagine if you were speaking unless you both agree on no video and then it's like an audio call. But if some, if one person has their video and the other person doesn't, it does affect the experience of the call. It's not equal. Right. One person feels more exposed. So we really tried to make it fair for everyone. But if you agree to keep both videos turned off, do it. But again, ask yourself what prevents you from showing up on video? Why are you hiding? You're a human being. People want to connect with you, be proud of who you are and show up like yourself. How to reduce fear during our speech. So on day five, I will be talking about mindset, but I also focus on it on the webinar. That is going to be next week. Okay. Oh wait, let's go. What are your recommendation after five day training? I will share with you my recommendations after the five days because I don't want to overwhelm you. Let's do it step by step. Okay. Is there something to download? Yes, there is a workbook. So go to the confirmation email. You will get like you'll see there a link to download the workbook. It's also on the website. You can download it there as well. You're also going to get it in the email. The first email tomorrow I hope to join your Facebook group. What do I need to do? So some people are watching this on my kind of like private personal YouTube channel. So if you're, if you're watching it there, then just go to hadar shemesh.com forward/training and sign up for the actual challenge. Most of the people here watching this have signed up. You can sign up for the challenge and, and then you'll get all the links. Okay. The email keeps coming in the trash folder. How to change the setting to inbox folder? So first of all you, you need to click on it and say this is not spam. And also take the email, which is helloadarsheimish.com and add it as one of your contacts. So go to contacts, add new contact, paste the email address and then once it's in your contacts, then it's probably going to go safely to your inbox, but you can just declare it. You can click on the settings, like when you see the email, I think on the top right corner you'll see you can give it or. I don't know how to. I don't even know what I'm trying to say. But you can find the settings of the email and then you just say that it's not spam and send it to the inbox. Okay, how long, so what happens after the five day training? Again, we will be very clear with you, but you'll have access to everything until the 18th of September. Okay, and how long does it take you? So we have the hourly, the one hour training that I recommend for you to watch and then the daily Practice is about 10 minutes per day. We didn't want to overwhelm you with a lot of work. Yes, there are replays for the sessions. I think people are joining a little later. So you guys sometimes are asking questions that I've already answered. I'll answer them again, but I'm just explaining for those who are here from the beginning. So after the five days, you will be invited to join the webinar where we talk about the big picture. My masterclass to mastering fluency. We're going to talk more about strategy and mindset. A lot of you are interested about what's going to happen after the five days. And then afterwards, for those who want to continue learning with me, we will open doors for New Sound, which is my signature program that focuses on all the elements that are required for you to reach a breakthrough and transform your English. But the main focus is pronunciation. So when you go through this training and you say to yourself, wow, I want more of this pronunciation training, then you will have access, full access, to be guided for three months by me and by my team and the program. What are we, when are, how are we going to use the workbook that you sent us? So at the end of each day you're going to have some questions, some places like a place for you to write your reflections, takeaway and some things to make sure that you implemented some exercises. Okay, there are a lot of questions. Hold on. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. Right? So those five days are. And sprints are needed. Okay, you know me, I love sprints. But this is a sprint. The five day pronunciation training, intensive, a lot of work. But in the long haul, you know this work, English work is a marathon. Okay, how big is going to be every practice group? The practice groups could be good big. Like We've had nearly 30,000 people sign up for this pronunciation training. Of course, not everyone's going to be available and show up for the live trainings, but the practice groups are going to be in front of hundreds of people. But it's like the, the structure of it is that you practice along with a coach and then you get to ask questions in the chat. It's not one on one feedback. We don't offer it in the practice groups. Sometimes you might get to speak, but it's not that it's not designed for feedback. When it comes to the conversation groups, we will have. You will have opportunities to speak one on one with other members. Okay, so as small as one on one. Okay. When will the class be live? We're from different time zones. So like I said, when you go to the calendar, Inside on the website, it's connected to the website, is linked in the Facebook group. You will see all the different events in your own time zone. When it comes to the live training, the daily training, it's going to be every day at the same time, 9:00am EST, which is about this time time. Okay. About this time every single day. How do we join conversation groups? You click the link in the calendar or the link in the email. Okay. Any other questions? When does the beyond program start? Beyond the Doors for Beyond, Right now it's beyond is an ongoing membership designed to help you practice effectively and get all the coaching that you need. It's different from New Sound because Beyond is more about maintenance and practice opportunities and New Sound is the more. It has a more structured curriculum and stages that you go through. And New Sound is like that. My intensive transformative program, usually beyond opens. We open doors once a year or twice a year. Generally what happens is that, okay, I'm not going to go deep into it, but right now it's closed and I don't have, I don't have a date. That's what I want to say. All sessions are transmitted on YouTube. So I go, I broadcast live on my. On the. Inside the Facebook group. Okay. And on the website. On the website there is a video embedded that we broadcast to the YouTube channel, but I recommend that you watch it on the website or inside the Facebook group. Okay. Just a little spoiler about what's to come. When it comes to New Sound, you'll see that the community. So thank you, Sylvia, and it's good to see you here. You'll see that the community is very, very supportive and it makes it a lot easier to learn, practice and, and improve. What level of English do you need to start your training? If you can understand My videos. You are ready for this training. Okay. The most important thing is that you understand my training. We are not expecting people to be proficient to be fluent. The purpose of this training is to help you improve and become fluent. All right. Juan says that my main interest is on improving my English for amateur theater play. Since you already went a similar way, do you have a specific course on English for theater? I don't, but everything that I teach in the training is going to be helpful when it comes to using English when acting in plays. Especially when we talk about prosody. Okie dokie, jokey. What else? Could you share the link for the conversation group? I cannot because it's in the calendar and it's in the email. Ooh, this is a. This is good timing. My friend, a few days ago I found you on YouTube since I love practicing with you online. Amazing. So you have reached the peak of our relationship together. Practicing online and learning together. Okay, my friends, even though it feels overwhelming for some of you, it might be the first training online, I want to tell you that you got this. You are about to go through a journey that is going to help you gain clarity and find joy in learning and practicing pronunciation instead speaking English, in pushing boundaries, in facing your fears, and in realizing that English is so much more than just words on a piece of paper. It's about connecting and communicating with like minded people from around the world. I cannot wait to go through this journey with you. All right, my friends, I will see you tomorrow at around the same time, minus 50 minutes. And I cannot wait to get started. If you want, you can join me at Hadar Accentsway on Instagram. I'm going to go live and talk about why pronunciation is critical if you're trying to improve your fluency. So how pronunciation can help you improve your fluency as well and not just how you sound. Okay, my friends, I will see you tomorrow at 9am EST. Check your calendar for the right time, your own time zone. In the meantime, take care of. Sleep well and I'll see you soon. Bye.
