  1. The ideas are great and hope to join a daily online class that will keep me busy in the summer and all through the fall.

  2. Hey,
    Thanks for all your helpful tips. What is the best app for pronunciation practice? I used to use google translate for my pronunciation but I think it doesn’t work correctly all the time.

  3. all of those things that Hadar mentionned in the video are useful, another thing that I think helpful to add with those is recoding ourselves.

  4. I’ve found that for me it’s useful to say the daily prayers in english, the ‘Our father’, and ‘Hail Mary’ and ‘Glory’. I’ll try to learn more of them.
