Hey, it's Hadar.

Welcome to my channel.
1
990
1170
00:02
And today I want to celebrate with you 200 episodes of the Accent's Way magazine.
2
2160
5550
00:10
So last week we hit episode 200.
3
10130
2580
00:12
And this week, in this episode, I wanted to reflect on my journey from
4
12990
3930
00:16
episode number 1 to episode number 200.
5
16920
3870
00:20
Crazy!
6
20970
840
00:22
And to talk about my journey, professional journey and personal journey.
7
22200
4440
00:26
Because it wasn't always this fancy with this couch and plants in the background,
8
26820
7160
00:34
and nice lighting, and great camera.
9
34010
2009
00:36
At the beginning, it was really lame and sometimes awkward.
10
36379
3491
00:39
And I sounded strange, not like myself.
11
39900
2820
00:42
And I wasn't always this confident and expressive and
12
42900
3360
00:46
fluent in front of the camera.
13
46260
1530
00:48
And I want to actually talk about it and look first few episodes, and to talk
14
48390
6080
00:54
about this development and progress, because I always compare it to the
15
54470
5790
01:00
progress that you are going through as an English speaker as a second language.
16
60260
4765
01:05
Because when you make a decision of putting yourself out there and starting
17
65235
4110
01:09
to speak in English, even though it's not your native language, it is probably
18
69345
4260
01:13
very far from the image you have about who you are as a speaker of English.
19
73605
4560
01:18
In your head, you are fluent and expressive and funny.
20
78405
3240
01:21
And when it comes to reality, it is awkward and clunky and slow.
21
81975
4830
01:27
And I want to tell you that, you know, reflecting on my journey as a creator
22
87375
5385
01:32
and as a teacher, and as a non-native speaker, I think the secret is to
23
92790
5925
01:38
keep showing up and doing the work.
24
98715
2280
01:41
Even if it's not perfect, even if it's not right, even if you get
25
101055
3690
01:44
criticized for it, because God knows I've gotten a lot of criticism on
26
104895
4680
01:49
the work that I've put out there.
27
109605
1530
01:51
And sometimes I've allowed it to affect me, and sometimes I haven't.
28
111545
3920
01:55
And I think that had I allowed it to affect me, I wouldn't have been
29
115875
3720
01:59
here celebrating my 200th episode.
30
119595
2490
02:02
So, I want you to know that the path to fluency is a result of long,
31
122535
6840
02:09
continuous, and consistent work.
32
129875
2650
02:13
And this is something that you want to do right now, or even yesterday,
33
133515
5960
02:19
because soon enough, you will be also celebrating your 200th episode.
34
139805
5440
02:25
And also one more thing, because I know that a lot of English teachers are also
35
145845
4139
02:29
watching this and some of you may be timid or insecure about posting yet another
36
149984
5641
02:35
video about pronunciation or about English online because the market is saturated
37
155625
5280
02:40
and there are already so many teachers.
38
160905
1860
02:43
But here's what I have to say: I was having the same fears and
39
163095
3540
02:46
thoughts when I first started out.
40
166635
1680
02:48
But here I am - 200 episodes later and 330,000 subscribers later,
41
168644
6780
02:55
amazing students and incredible community that I'm so grateful for.
42
175725
6120
03:02
And this would not have been possible had I not decided to go ahead and keep
43
182715
6265
03:08
showing up online every single week.
44
188980
3129
03:12
So if you want to do it and you're afraid, then remember that the only way
45
192260
4590
03:16
for you to make your dreams a reality is by simply saying yes and doing the work.
46
196850
6000
03:22
So let's begin with looking at how it all started.
47
202970
4290
03:27
Okay.
48
207860
300
03:28
So let's check out the first video I've ever uploaded to YouTube, a little lame.
49
208160
4850
03:33
So it was a PowerPoint presentation and me doing a voiceover of drills of words.
50
213270
7890
03:41
See, back then I was already all about drills.
51
221160
2760
03:44
So, let's take a look.
52
224370
1350
03:47
"Wade ya want.
53
227960
2340
03:51
What do you want?"
54
231080
1080
03:55
"I don't want to.
55
235610
1350
03:58
I don wanna."
56
238920
560
04:00
After that, I uploaded a few more videos using my webcam where I
57
240330
4650
04:04
speak like a robot. Let's listen.
58
244980
2850
04:07
"Lamb, lamb.
59
247860
3240
04:12
Comb, comb your hair.
60
252300
3360
04:16
I'm combing my hair"
61
256709
1620
04:19
In 2012, my partner and I wanted to shoot an entire video
62
259815
4140
04:23
course about pronunciation.
63
263955
1560
04:25
So we rented out a space and we went with a friend of ours
64
265724
3301
04:29
to shoot series of videos.
65
269054
2670
04:32
We ended up shooting one or maybe two videos that day.
66
272145
4769
04:37
I was not that experienced.
67
277155
1410
04:39
Again, speaking a little bit like a robot.
68
279005
2739
04:42
And it was about the schwa.
69
282315
1789
04:44
"Let's talk about the schwa.
70
284945
1349
04:47
The schwa is the most common sound in English.
71
287684
3001
04:51
And that's because it's a reduction of all possible vowels."
72
291675
3870
04:55
Now, it took us so long that I was so discouraged, and I'm like, "I'm
73
295765
3130
04:58
not making any video courses and I'm just going to post it to YouTube".
74
298895
4290
05:03
So I posted it to YouTube and I carried on with my life.
75
303545
3690
05:07
If few months later I logged in again and I realized that I've started receiving
76
307595
5760
05:14
dozens and hundreds of comments and the video had about 60,000 views.
77
314145
4829
05:19
I was like, "What, what is this?!
78
319045
1760
05:21
Who are all these people watching my videos and commenting?"
79
321045
3330
05:24
And it was really funny because I was not really interacting
80
324765
4140
05:28
with my YouTube channel.
81
328905
1170
05:30
And then I said, "Oh, people are saying that I'm helping them.
82
330855
4980
05:36
Maybe, maybe I can do more of those videos.
83
336375
2370
05:39
Maybe I should start posting more".
84
339195
2190
05:41
So I started playing with the idea of uploading videos more consistently.
85
341835
4649
05:46
After that, I published a few more videos.
86
346815
2279
05:49
And then in 2015, while I'm nine months pregnant with my second daughter, I
87
349125
5849
05:54
finally made a commitment to start posting a video every single week.
88
354974
3781
05:59
I started my website in English and my newsletter, and I used to send a video
89
359114
6041
06:05
to my subscribers every single week.
90
365245
2010
06:07
And this is the first video of that magazine.
91
367315
2760
06:11
"I'm often asked why do non-native speakers need to
92
371205
3000
06:14
change or reduce their accents.
93
374205
1890
06:16
What is it good for?
94
376515
960
06:18
Changing your accent doesn't mean changing who you are.
95
378585
3080
06:21
Your accent is your background, your history and your heritage.
96
381965
3690
06:26
Your native tongue is where you can express yourself most freely.
97
386015
4050
06:30
And I bet, that some things in your personality and culture just
98
390065
4075
06:34
don't translate well to English."
99
394140
1769
06:36
Now, if we listen to the video, we see that I'm a lot less natural and
100
396300
3919
06:40
less confident in front of the camera.
101
400219
1651
06:41
So I attribute it to two things.
102
401900
2670
06:44
One, back then I was memorizing the texts.
103
404570
3149
06:47
So I actually wrote the script and memorized it and then set
104
407750
4289
06:52
it in front of the camera.
105
412039
1231
06:53
And I don't do that anymore, that doesn't work for me.
106
413420
2700
06:56
And I feel that it's very restricting.
107
416360
2609
06:59
And the second thing is sheer experience.
108
419360
2549
07:01
You know, I've been making so many videos that simply by just doing it, I
109
421940
6025
07:07
have gained confidence and that sense of effortlessness in front of the camera.
110
427965
4730
07:12
And even though I have all the respect in the world for that woman being nine
111
432965
4500
07:17
months pregnant and making videos for YouTube for the first time, really.
112
437465
4910
07:22
Of course I'm still watching this and saying, "Oh, Too much makeup!"
113
442875
5310
07:28
Or "What was I wearing" or "Why am I teaching it like that?"
114
448335
4050
07:32
Because of course, it's much easier to be five years later and to know so much
115
452625
4950
07:37
more about how things should be done.
116
457575
2430
07:40
Now, throughout the first year of video creation and making videos every
117
460245
6000
07:46
single week, I was kind of hiding the fact that I'm a non-native speaker.
118
466245
7220
07:53
I mean, I didn't say that I'm not a native speaker, but I didn't mention it.
119
473825
5890
08:00
In fact, I remember being afraid that people are going to find out that I'm
120
480345
4380
08:04
a non-native speaker and say something and comment, and be vicious and mean
121
484725
5840
08:10
and think, "Who does she think she is - teaching pronunciation when
122
490835
4210
08:15
she's not even a native speaker?"
123
495045
1650
08:16
And the turning point happened as I was going through some things in
124
496755
5310
08:22
my personal life and I was going through this business training.
125
502065
3990
08:26
And I said, "Listen, I feel like I'm not being myself and I feel like
126
506534
5701
08:32
I'm constantly hiding something".
127
512235
2220
08:34
And I was not enjoying it.
128
514905
1710
08:36
I felt like, I felt like I can't continue that way.
129
516794
5791
08:43
And there was this one video where I decided to share my entire story
130
523065
4110
08:47
and talk about the fact that I am a non-native speaker, and I started
131
527565
3930
08:51
as a foreign student in New York city with a pretty thick accent.
132
531495
5130
08:57
And looking back, that video was the permission I needed to be myself
133
537105
6480
09:03
in front of the camera and in front of you, and not being so hard on
134
543615
4110
09:07
myself when things were not perfect.
135
547725
2955
09:11
Let's take a look.
136
551160
870
09:12
"So I started teaching, but at first I was really embarrassed to admit
137
552300
4730
09:17
that I'm not a native English speaker.
138
557030
2340
09:20
I would even try to hide it because after all, there are so many amazing
139
560180
3840
09:24
speech coaches out there who are native speakers and what do I have to contribute?
140
564020
4890
09:29
How can I possibly reach their level?
141
569120
2819
09:32
But as I got better at what I do, and I saw the results in, you know,
142
572700
3810
09:36
my students, I realized that what I believe to be my disadvantage,
143
576520
4820
09:41
turned out to be my biggest strength.
144
581690
1890
09:44
Because of my background and training and history, I know the
145
584390
4470
09:48
way non-native speakers think while trying to process the sounds and
146
588860
3720
09:52
intonational patterns of English.
147
592580
1380
09:53
I know that because I'm one of them.
148
593960
1590
09:56
And because I've been there myself, I know what to say and how to explain
149
596090
4470
10:00
it to make it specific and clear.
150
600560
3895
10:05
So I realized that this is something that is unique to me and
151
605715
3780
10:09
only I can deliver it that way".
152
609495
1829
10:11
Now, as soon as I shared my story and my fears and insecurities, I started getting
153
611475
6180
10:17
more and more emails and comments and messages from followers all around the
154
617685
6060
10:23
world, sharing with me their stories.
155
623745
2715
10:26
And one of the biggest themes was the fear that people experience from communicating
156
626520
6210
10:32
in English, the fear of not being perfect.
157
632730
2820
10:35
And at some point I decided that people don't need yet
158
635880
4200
10:40
another how-to-pronounce video.
159
640080
2280
10:42
Instead, they need a different perspective to look at things.
160
642540
3330
10:45
And I felt that I had that perspective because I had gone through that
161
645870
3750
10:49
myself, being that super perfectionist, to being a little more natural
162
649620
5880
10:55
and neutral and feeling in my own skin when speaking in English.
163
655560
5130
11:00
This is the first video I created about mindset and about
164
660780
3300
11:04
communication over perfection.
165
664080
2040
11:06
"I want you to visualize this.
166
666610
2089
11:09
Think of this idea of perfection, of perfection as your worst enemy, as your
167
669050
6540
11:15
biggest competitor, as your nemesis, who is standing there around the corner,
168
675590
4410
11:20
just waiting, waiting for you to fail.
169
680329
2671
11:23
Because every time you feed that monster, every time you decide not to speak, not
170
683240
6415
11:29
to express your thoughts because it's not fully articulated, because every time
171
689655
4199
11:33
you say no to an interview or a job offer or an invitation because it requires
172
693854
5281
11:39
English and you are just not sure if your English is good enough or you're
173
699165
4890
11:44
just afraid to speak, then your biggest enemy is winning and you are losing.
174
704055
8360
11:52
This is failure.
175
712834
1681
11:54
Not trying to say something and making a mistake, not saying
176
714975
5400
12:00
something and getting stuck.
177
720375
1890
12:02
That's not failing.
178
722295
900
12:03
That's just practicing, that's just living.
179
723755
3390
12:07
Even native speakers make mistakes, okay.
180
727205
2815
12:10
And then it's okay because that's their native tongue.
181
730020
3299
12:13
Stop being so judgmental, let go, lose this idea of perfection.
182
733629
6011
12:19
Stop feeding the monster because then you are the only person
183
739640
6270
12:25
who's going to pay the price."
184
745910
1289
12:27
Another turning point on my channel is when I started teaching intonation.
185
747750
4470
12:32
So up until the video that we're gonna watch in a sec, I was only talking
186
752700
6000
12:38
about pronunciation and a little bit about mindset as you've seen.
187
758700
3890
12:43
And the reason why I wasn't talking about intonation is because I
188
763040
3810
12:46
have this fear that because I'm a non-native speaker I don't have
189
766850
4135
12:51
anything interesting to say about it.
190
771045
2100
12:53
And actually, maybe I don't know how to talk about it.
191
773505
3449
12:56
Even though obsessed with it and I was really clear about how to teach it to my
192
776985
6599
13:03
students, I was afraid that doing it in public is not going to be good enough.
193
783665
5399
13:09
Yet, I did it.
194
789064
1321
13:10
And after making this video I realized that, hey, I actually do have a lot to
195
790685
5970
13:16
say, and it helps people gain clarity.
196
796655
3150
13:20
So maybe I can and should talk more about intonation and prosody.
197
800015
4670
13:25
So let's watch.
198
805410
1290
13:26
"Today we are going to talk about American intonation.
199
806850
4010
13:31
Now, I know that usually in this channel, I talk about
200
811400
3060
13:34
pronunciation, but don't get me wrong.
201
814490
2550
13:37
American intonation is not less important and sometimes more
202
817280
5070
13:42
important than pronunciation.
203
822350
2460
13:45
Stressed words are higher in pitch and longer.
204
825320
4110
13:50
Higher in pitch so they get a higher note - TA-da.
205
830000
4780
13:55
The first note was higher in pitch - TA-da.
206
835050
3450
13:59
And they're longer.
207
839280
1890
14:01
Okay?
208
841290
660
14:02
The glass is on the table."
209
842700
3690
14:06
After that, I had a series of videos where I dismantled and dissected
210
846630
5370
14:12
speeches by different speakers.
211
852000
1770
14:13
And I absolutely loved it as well as my audience.
212
853770
2910
14:17
"I have yet to give a speech or have a meeting where somebody doesn't
213
857130
3209
14:20
ask me the millennial question".
214
860339
1171
14:21
'I have yet', the next chunk is 'to give a speech'.
215
861800
5100
14:26
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think we are in a cultural crisis".
216
866930
2789
14:30
'I think we are', 'think' is stressed, it's a little longer,
217
870180
2910
14:33
'I' is a bit more reduced.
218
873120
1319
14:34
In April, 2018, I wanted to create a 5-day challenge.
219
874530
3780
14:38
And to do that, I posted a video on YouTube called "How I lost
220
878340
4590
14:42
my accent and became fluent".
221
882930
1830
14:45
And in that video, I invited people to join my Facebook group.
222
885270
3690
14:49
Little did I know, this was going to be the beginning of a new era.
223
889290
4245
14:53
Because what was meant to be a 5-day pop-up group ended up being the most
224
893895
5790
14:59
incredible community in the world.
225
899685
3029
15:02
And I am highly objective with right now over 15,000 people from
226
902745
7214
15:09
all around the world, communicating and connecting in English.
227
909989
3391
15:13
And that was the video that's started the whole thing.
228
913920
3439
15:17
"...Live video lessons.
229
917359
1360
15:18
You'll be able to interact with me and ask me questions.
230
918739
2970
15:21
You'll receive a daily email with a PDF sheet with instructions for the next day.
231
921900
4970
15:27
You'll receive tasks and assignments.
232
927050
2295
15:29
You'll make videos of yourself and you'll communicate with other people.
233
929635
3940
15:34
Look, those five days are going to pass anyway.
234
934245
2590
15:36
Question is what are you going to do in those five days that
235
936895
3570
15:40
will help you reach your goals?"
236
940465
1650
15:42
One of the things that I realized in the middle of this journey is that
237
942465
3510
15:46
I realized what works best for me.
238
946065
2040
15:48
So I told you that at first I used to write the script and memorize it, and then
239
948585
3870
15:52
I used to prepare and write bullet points.
240
952455
2130
15:54
But every time I would stand up in front of the camera, I would start speaking and
241
954915
5000
15:59
then I would realize that the best way for me to convey my message or to really
242
959915
5070
16:04
realize what I want to speak about and to do it in a clear and concise way was
243
964985
4740
16:09
to just do it again and again, and again.
244
969725
1620
16:11
While it took a lot of work in the editing room just to throw out all
245
971730
3150
16:14
the outtakes and everything that was not necessary, the really good
246
974880
3720
16:18
videos were a result of many attempts.
247
978600
3540
16:22
Which is, again, just to show you that nothing comes out perfectly at first.
248
982520
5460
16:27
You've got to do it again and again and again and again, until you realize
249
987980
3089
16:31
yourself what it is that you want to say.
250
991079
1911
16:33
And until you realize that you're actually good at what you're doing.
251
993319
2880
16:36
So, I remember this one video that right now is about to hit 1 million views,
252
996680
5815
16:42
it's probably my most viewed video.
253
1002495
1650
16:44
And I prepared for it and I did other things, and then I stood up in
254
1004444
4561
16:49
front of the camera and I wanted to do something completely different.
255
1009005
3059
16:52
And I started talking and I ended up doing something that resonated
256
1012334
5311
16:57
the most with my audience.
257
1017645
1230
16:59
So while preparing is important, also trust your intuition and
258
1019084
5460
17:04
give yourself permission to just speak and follow your gut feeling.
259
1024544
4426
17:09
Because that's what I did with that video, and it ended up being my
260
1029000
2819
17:11
most viewed video till this day.
261
1031819
1941
17:13
"I hate nothing more than hearing the term 'speak like a native speaker'.
262
1033790
4770
17:19
Because when you set the bar so high, the gap is so wide that you'll feel that
263
1039010
6540
17:25
you'll never be able to reach there.
264
1045550
2069
17:27
If this is your goal, then this becomes impossible.
265
1047770
4650
17:33
You don't need to sound like a native speaker.
266
1053465
3150
17:36
Sound like yourself, but your most fluent, expressive, and confident self.
267
1056745
7240
17:44
That's your goal.
268
1064324
1161
17:45
Don't try to achieve something that will hold you back, try to achieve
269
1065995
4440
17:50
something that will empower you.
270
1070435
1920
17:52
Really, trust me on that.
271
1072895
1955
17:55
I know, I know that it's hard to change that mindset because you've been told
272
1075180
3390
17:58
for years that the only way to become fluent is to sound like a native speaker.
273
1078570
4230
18:03
But understand that being a native speaker is something that happens
274
1083010
4920
18:08
if you're born into the language.
275
1088080
1710
18:10
And if you're not born into the language, you can become very fluent
276
1090000
3720
18:13
in the language and you can master it.
277
1093720
2460
18:16
And you can master the accent, I know that.
278
1096180
2160
18:18
And again, I've done it myself.
279
1098340
1920
18:20
But I know that the journey is long and it takes a lot of hard work.
280
1100660
5725
18:26
And sometimes the goals should be expressing yourself, being fluent,
281
1106885
6060
18:32
finding the words, sounding clear, even if it's not like a native speaker, even
282
1112975
5760
18:38
if people still ask you where you're from.
283
1118764
2580
18:41
Okay?
284
1121854
571
18:43
The thing is that you need to be okay with that.
285
1123230
2640
18:46
You need to understand that what you bring to the table as a non-native speaker
286
1126050
3690
18:49
is your gift, is your advantage, okay?
287
1129950
4050
18:54
Don't try to hide it.
288
1134180
1140
18:55
Don't try to wash out your identity.
289
1135620
1890
18:58
Become clear, have a powerful voice, say what you have to say.
290
1138350
6090
19:04
Doesn't matter if it's with an accent and it doesn't matter if it's with mistakes."
291
1144870
5330
19:10
Being so involved in the community and being in direct touch with my
292
1150720
4499
19:15
students and my followers, I've realized that one of the things that
293
1155219
4871
19:20
need to change in the English learning industry is how English is being taught
294
1160120
5585
19:26
and who should be teaching English.
295
1166065
2790
19:28
So, I was on a mission to decolonize how English is being taught.
296
1168885
4770
19:34
And that was all to the point where I started uploading videos that are a little
297
1174045
4200
19:38
more political and socially conscious.
298
1178245
2570
19:41
"Just like you wouldn't talk about someone's weight or skin color or
299
1181035
3420
19:44
sexual orientation, you shouldn't talk about someone else's accent.
300
1184455
4200
19:48
You don't know what their journey is, you don't know where that meets them, you
301
1188915
3840
19:52
don't know what emotions that generates.
302
1192755
2640
19:55
Why put them in a state where they feel like they have to prove themselves
303
1195635
3990
19:59
with that simple silly question?"
304
1199625
2649
20:02
Also, with the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, we started talking
305
1202304
3990
20:06
about the lack of diversity in the English learning industry as well.
306
1206294
3510
20:10
"If we look at the voice of English that we see on YouTube, most of the
307
1210215
6150
20:16
teachers who teach on YouTube, who are native speakers, most of them are white.
308
1216365
5175
20:21
And as white American or British speakers, they have a very particular
309
1221600
4890
20:26
voice and very particular accent.
310
1226490
2730
20:29
This accent, because it's so dominant, is associated with
311
1229640
3710
20:33
what seems to be proper English.
312
1233350
2790
20:36
And everything that deviates from that might sound to us inaccurate,
313
1236380
3990
20:40
wrong, or sometimes unintelligent.
314
1240665
2339
20:43
There are many different dialects of English that English
315
1243835
2850
20:46
learners are less exposed to.
316
1246715
2010
20:49
And as a result, they may associate English as being
317
1249115
3389
20:52
spoken in only one certain way.
318
1252504
2311
20:55
And that is a problem because if you don't follow enough voices,
319
1255085
3660
20:58
you will always think that this is how you should speak English.
320
1258745
3060
21:02
And to be honest, it's not.
321
1262225
1860
21:04
English is very, very varied.
322
1264175
1800
21:06
And when you feel that there is only one way of speaking English, and what
323
1266155
4015
21:10
proper English is, you will always be trapped in this complexity of,
324
1270170
5010
21:15
"I don't sound like a native speaker because native speaker is good and
325
1275210
4620
21:19
non-native speaker or an accent is bad."
326
1279830
2940
21:23
And let's not forget that I also had incredible guests.
327
1283010
3480
21:27
- How are you?
328
1287070
660
21:28
- I'm good.
329
1288080
630
21:28
I'm like exploring, exploring my new abilities as a DJ.
330
1288730
6690
21:35
- World.
331
1295960
550
21:36
Oh my God, it's groundbreaking!
332
1296710
2590
21:39
- Hi Hadar, how are you?
333
1299420
1680
21:41
- And I'm thinking about black coffee, in my head.
334
1301380
3220
21:45
- And you have your own YouTube channel now, which you haven't mentioned by the way.
335
1305060
4740
21:49
At the beginning of 2020, I also announced my new podcast, the InFluency
336
1309830
5020
21:54
podcast, and sometimes shared the episodes here on my channel as
337
1314870
4200
21:59
well, which turned out to be great.
338
1319070
2250
22:01
Looking back, it's really nice to see how I started with a very narrow
339
1321620
5190
22:06
perspective of only teaching pronunciation and actually being very fearful about
340
1326810
4980
22:11
talking about anything else out of the fear of making someone angry or upset
341
1331790
7139
22:19
because I wanted to please everyone.
342
1339350
1770
22:21
But gradually, as I was growing and as I was building confidence, and as I
343
1341389
5330
22:26
was truly listening to my audience, I realized that what I really need to do
344
1346719
5756
22:32
is be myself and talk about the things that interest me, even at the price
345
1352475
4500
22:37
of repelling some people who are not going to like when I make fun of Donald
346
1357064
5776
22:42
Trump; or are not going to like where I talk about the fact that you don't
347
1362840
5174
22:48
have to sound like a native speaker.
348
1368014
1711
22:50
And the last thing.
349
1370084
811
22:51
This would not have been possible if it weren't for you.
350
1371735
3434
22:55
So I want to say a big, big thing you for being here, for liking, for
351
1375800
4940
23:00
sharing, for commenting, or for simply just viewing and sharing that moment
352
1380740
6750
23:07
with me, even though we are not in the same space and not at the same time.
353
1387490
6325
23:14
Still, I feel that this format of a video helps me create relationships
354
1394085
5850
23:19
with people from all around the world.
355
1399935
1830
23:22
And I want to thank you for being a part of that relationship.
356
1402005
2910
23:25
So thank you so much for watching and I'll see you next time in the next video.
357
1405395
4400
23:30
Bye.
