Join my 30-day mindset training and transform the way you feel about your English: hadarshemesh.com/mindset

If you lack confidence, feel anxious or nervous, or you're just ready to feel more CONFIDENT when you speak English, this is for you!

Confidence and mindset are something we have to practice if we want to feel better about our English. It's just like with grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, and sometimes, it's even more essential.

In this video, I talk about 5 different aspects you can work on to overcome your fears and become a more confident speaker in English. But I have identified 30 elements that hold you back from expressing yourself in English, and I created a 30-day audio training called My English Mindset, which is designed to help you transform how you feel in English and what you believe is possible for you.

Shadowing is a great way to practice your pronunciation, prosody, grammar and so much more, but the key is knowing what to focus on. When you focus on EVERYTHING, you focus on NOTHING!

Today, I'm going to teach you how to shadow intentionally, using a scene with Wednesday Addams from the Netflix show Wednesday

What can you do when you're not where you want to be in your fluency?

As we go into a new year, you might be looking back at last year and feeling like you didn't accomplish what you wanted to in English. No doubt, this is a discouraging feeling! But have you ever stopped to ask yourself what exactly is holding you back from achieving your goals and being where you want to be? Or, maybe you have improved this year but you haven't realized how much progress you've made!

No matter where you're at, today, I'll walk you through four different stages that could be causing this gap between where you are in your English, and where you want to be.

Here are the four stages I discuss in today's episode:

Have you set high expectations that are unachievable?
Have you shown up for your English and created a practice habit?
Have you practiced, but not improved because you fell into the illusion of learning?
Have you improved, but you can't see it?

Which of the stages do you identify the most with? Send me a DM on my Instagram and let me know! https://www.instagram.com/hadar.accentsway/

278. Mistakes Dec 20, 2022

Show notes

Join my new mindset training! 30 days of audio trainings designed to transform your confidence and mindset in English hadarshemesh.com/mindset

Are all mistakes in English equally important? What does that even mean to make a mistake? And who decides what IS a mistake ANYWAY??

In this episode, I discuss my holistic yet unconventional approach toward mistakes in English, and why I think the way we currently address mistakes is often the reason why people are struggling to see progress.

The idea for this episode came from receiving MANY comments on a recent video I created calling out other YouTube creators for their content. It made me realize that we all need a decent shift in how we think about mistakes, and to recognize the complexity of speaking and owning any language.
