Lovely!!! Thanks dear Hadar.

Thanks for those advice .I appreciate that you helping us to overcome fear about English is so hard to learn .
Hadar, you not only let us have fun learning English but also teach us very powerful ways to learn English by ourselves. Thank you. I will use a few of them, I will speak out my thoughts for 5 minutes every day (2), join the InFluency community on Facebook (8), memorize some Hadar talks (instead of Ted talks) by listening many times (12), and do imitation exercises with them (18) and will never apologize form my English (33), will keep a words list on my phone to learn them (44).
WOW! your pronunciation is great. How did you do it. I was born here in Israel and moved to the states close to 70 years ago. I still have a slight accent. I use the Israeli “R” I was never able to switch to the American “R”
Mainly you really possess the capacity to teach or guide any kind of learner rightly & accurately. I truly appreciate it & wish your success.
Thank you Hadar for amazing tips 🙂 I wanna ask a question, is there any free speech lessons?

Thank you , so much Hadar. I love your method.
Invent your own pronunciation alphabet to include all the features that you consider troublesome to you. When practicing try to look at and apply it.
Thank you Hadar for the tips ! One more to add, read something in English and then say the main idea with your own words.
Watch movies dubbed in your native language with English subtitles. I know, I know: It is precisely the opposite of what most learners do. However, it has the advantage of 100% correspondence between what you hear (in your native language) and what you read. And there is also the advantage of learning idiomatic expressions and colloquialisms (existing in the dubbing version) whose meaning you probably would not understand if the same movie was watched with original audio in English (even with English subtitles).
Alessandro, from Brazil.
Great tips ! Awesome! Thanks a lot!
Great! I think you are very good at your
videos suggestions!
Hooray !!!! I speak English! (Tip #50)
I’m from Brazil and I study English every single day! I change the way I practice English every now and then. As an example, I have been listening to radio a lot, lately! So this is my tip for today: Choose a city or a region you would like to live or to visit and listen to its local radio stations. Most of the radio stations today are broadcasting by internet too. It’s not a big deal to find one.
See you next time!
Congratulation !
Very good tips, I’m going to apply. Many thanks Hadar
