My name is Hadar.

I'm a fellow non-native speaker of English, and I am here to help you
5
12639

Let's begin.
9
28460

00:29
As an English learner, you must have asked yourself in the past, what is the
10
29000
3360
00:32
best way for me to improve my English?
11
32360
2070
00:34
"Should I start with grammar first?
12
34580
1950
00:36
Should I focus on pronunciation?
13
36620
1860
00:38
It's all about vocabulary.
14
38510
1620
00:40
Phrasal verbs.
15
40280
630
00:40
If you master phrasal verbs, you got it covered.
16
40940
2500
00:43
I just need to go out and speak for 6 hours every single
17
43470
3179
00:46
day with native speakers.
18
46649
1321
00:48
No, I should speak with non-native speakers only.
19
48290
2729
00:51
I should take a private teacher.
20
51050
1330
00:52
It's all about joining online courses.
21
52410
1970
00:54
It's all about being a self- learner and doing it on your own.
22
54410
3059
00:57
It's all about doing it with other people.
23
57469
2011
00:59
I need to move to New York.
24
59510
1440
01:01
I need to move to Paris.
25
61010
1259
01:02
I mean, London."
26
62585
1500
01:04
As you can see, there are many ways for you out there to improve your English.
27
64235
3810
01:08
And here's what I believe to be the most effective way for
28
68255
3120
01:11
you to improve your English.
29
71375
2000
01:13
It's called "You do you, boo!"
30
73685
2240
01:16
Translation, please?..
31
76515
960
01:17
You are the only person who knows what is the best way for
32
77535
3690
01:21
you to improve your English.
33
81225
1950
01:23
No one out there, no YouTube teacher or no online teacher or private
34
83505
5270
01:28
teacher can tell you what is the single most effective way or the best
35
88775
5430
01:34
way for you to improve your English.
36
94205
2100
01:36
You need to understand what works for you.
37
96665
3725
01:40
It's like saying that kickboxing is the best way for you to get fit.
38
100630
3450
01:44
Or that low-carb diet is the best way for you to lose weight.
39
104290
3270
01:48
What works for some people doesn't work for others.
40
108030
3330
01:51
When it comes to mastering another language, you need to understand
41
111690
2880
01:54
that there is so much out there that you need to consider.
42
114570
2880
01:57
Does it interest you or do you want to fall asleep every
43
117510
3510
02:01
time you start doing the work?
44
121020
1860
02:04
#Englishdoesnthavetobeboring.
45
124000
1700
02:05
Does it inspire you to take action?
46
125750
2070
02:07
Does it keep you motivated?
47
127820
1814
02:09
Does it get your results?
48
129955
1550
02:11
Is it practical?
49
131595
1170
02:12
I mean, ideas are great, but does it get you to take immediate
50
132825
3920
02:16
action and see tangible results?
51
136775
2640
02:19
It's true that mastering English takes time.
52
139475
3300
02:23
And reaching a significant transformation takes time, it's not
53
143045
4740
02:27
something that happens overnight.
54
147785
1500
02:29
But you know what happens overnight?
55
149525
1740
02:31
Small changes.
56
151535
1590
02:33
Progress, clarity, awareness.
57
153515
4195
02:37
All of these things are things that you need to see, and if you don't see them
58
157890
3780
02:41
on your journey, as you're learning, then you need to ask yourself, is this
59
161970
3720
02:45
the best way for me to master fluency?
60
165690
2970
02:48
It's like wanting to get from Paris to Amsterdam.
61
168930
3510
02:52
Like there are many ways for you to do that: you can take a plane,
62
172709
2921
02:55
you can drive, you can take a train, you can even cycle or walk.
63
175880
5710
03:01
I actually know of a woman who cycled from Paris to Tel Aviv.
64
181790
3270
03:05
Took her three months to do that.
65
185924
1500
03:07
So, the question is, there are several ways of getting from one place to another.
66
187454
4650
03:12
Is the way that you have chosen for yourself the best way for you
67
192495
4649
03:17
to get there as fast as possible?
68
197144
2851
03:20
So you need to ask yourself those questions.
69
200325
2310
03:22
You also need to ask yourself what type of learner you are.
70
202664
3151
03:25
Because for some people, they need visuals, they need videos, they need
71
205964
3460
03:29
scripts, and that works for them.
72
209495
2190
03:31
But others are auditory learners, which means that they need to hear
73
211685
4269
03:35
it again and again and again, and the visuals don't matter so much.
74
215954
3871
03:39
I'm an auditory learner.
75
219975
1320
03:41
So for me, audiobooks and podcasts are the best way for me to learn and
76
221295
4789
03:46
to get what it is that I'm doing.
77
226084
1711
03:47
Some people are kinesthetic learners and they need that one-on-one interaction.
78
227974
4321
03:52
So they need to have the back-and-forth, they need to have the feedback.
79
232594
3416
03:56
And others, they need to take notes, and look at them, and then take
80
236310
3599
03:59
notes again and look at them again.
81
239909
1471
04:01
And they only understand through taking notes, which is me as well, by the way.
82
241560
4409
04:05
So for me, to really understand an idea, I need to take notes.
83
245969
3930
04:10
So the path that you're choosing for yourself needs to be aligned
84
250290
4289
04:14
with a type of learner that you are.
85
254774
2461
04:17
So understanding what type of learner you are, wanting to see results, taking
86
257235
4380
04:21
constant action and being inspired to take such action, and understanding
87
261765
4950
04:26
what works best for you is the best way for you to master English.
88
266715
4980
04:32
So now you're probably saying to yourself, "Okay.
89
272115
2040
04:34
How do I do that?"
90
274650
1200
04:35
I can only share with you what has helped me, and that is mastering English through
91
275940
5100
04:41
building pronunciation confidence.
92
281040
1800
04:43
So it wasn't only for improving my pronunciation and accent, I also used
93
283190
5160
04:48
it to improve my listening skills cause I understood English better
94
288350
4080
04:52
through repetition of sounds and melodies and intonation patterns.
95
292580
4530
04:57
I also learned how to build my vocabulary through repetition, again and again and
96
297605
5630
05:03
again, because that has helped me master new words and using it with confidence.
97
303235
5310
05:08
Of course, it helped my confidence too.
98
308635
1770
05:10
Because when I was practicing, I got used to hearing myself saying
99
310555
3960
05:14
things alone, and then it was easier for me to say it in public.
100
314515
3960
05:18
And of course, it has helped me with grammar too.
101
318895
2370
05:21
Because when I was drilling words and sounds, and memorizing texts, when
102
321415
4220
05:25
I did that, I have acquired patterns of speech and grammatical structures.
103
325635
5910
05:31
So, without learning those grammatical structures, I embraced
104
331635
4110
05:35
them and I owned them because I made those words become my own words.
105
335745
4860
05:40
And all of a sudden, things made sense to me and I was able to use it in free
106
340785
4200
05:44
conversation without thinking about the tenses and the rules and all of that.
107
344985
4369
05:49
And it was all done through building pronunciation confidence.
108
349565
3570
05:53
Now, if you want to learn how to master English through building pronunciation
109
353315
4770
05:58
confidence, and if you want to understand what type of learner you are and to
110
358085
4860
06:02
understand what makes you tick and what keeps you moving forward, then I'm
111
362945
4615
06:07
inviting you to my annual live English event - an event that is totally free,
112
367560
