  2. Hello, a pleasure to greet you

    The truth is that the reasons are several, work, travel, business, but the most important thing is that it became a personal challenge. After several years of starting and stopping studying it, going through several institutes, and several private teachers, I can’t reach fluency or at least the ability to be able to communicate. I decided after the last year of finishing a level, I don’t know what level anymore, to do it on my own, and so researching I came to you.
    I love your videos, your tips, your pronunciation, I really enjoy it a lot.
    I hope I can move forward and finally say I’ve made it!

    A big hug!
    Saludos!

  3. Hi Hadar. I just want to say thanks for everything you are doing, probably is difficult for me to explain what it mean to find your videos in YouTube. I have lived in USA for so many years and I’m still can not pronounce proper a lot words. I’m from South America. I want to learn to talk proper, so my clients can understand what I say. I’m a Headshot photographer, so my work is to coach then during the session and make them relax and enjoy the shoot, so it’s difficult for me to joke and made them laugh. I am planning to take your class, but I can’t figure out which one to take. I hope you read this message. Thanks and good luck the podcast and all the projects are doing to help us!

  12. The way we’re wired is that when we start doing things, it doesn’t matter what it is whether it’s doing your job, writing something, or practicing your English. What does “the way we’re wired” mean?

  14. First of all, I want to thank you for these podcast series. It is huge chance for us to improve our listening comprehension. As you know, there are lots of British English podcast but American accent.
    When it comes to my story, I started learning English to fulfill my dream of being pilot. In order to be able to get accepted by airline, I had to pass TOEFL. Interestingly, even though I passed that exam, I gave up on being pilot because of personal reasons. However, I haven’t stop myself from learning English because it has been just a hobby for me. While dealing with it, it make me happy, as simple as though 🙂 and I highly recommend that English must be a part of your life and life style .
    Long story short, I love English just for fun and curiosity.
    Best regards…
