How confident are you in your voice? In today's episode, Hadar Shemesh joins us to discuss how she helps non-native English speakers raise their voice and cultivate permission to speak. Hadar is a linguistics expert and communication coach who's worked with companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, IBM, GM, Wework, Wix (and many more!). In this episode, she shares how pursuing her dream of becoming an actress made her hyper-aware of her “otherness,” and then led her to create a business helping speakers of English as a second language communicate confidently and joyfully in English. We also talk about the lies of “standard” English, our bilingual households, combating perfectionism as content creators, and addressing conflict with a global audience.

Do you like learning phrasal verbs in English? But how often do you USE phrasal verbs in English? One of the best ways to internalize phrasal verbs and use them more often when speaking is to practice them in context and attach some emotion to them – just like with any other vocabulary words in English! In this episode I share SIX of my favorite phrasal verbs that relate to when I get angry. I talk about when to use them, what they mean, and how to pronounce them. Here they are: come on – disbelief or frustration at a situation or what someone said or did pissed off – just plain angry about something or at someone cut it out – stop it right now, I’ve had enough freak out – suddenly feel very angry or panicked blow up – suddenly lose your temper get over it – stop making such a big deal about something More episodes on phrasal verbs and vocabulary: PHRASAL VERBS – Do you REALLY need them to sound fluent? https://a73023-tmp.s431.upress.link/magazine/phrasal-verbs-do-you-really-need-them-to-sound-fluent/ ?

Do you find it hard to let go of control? In life? In your relationships? In your work? You might feel like it has nothing to do with your English but it does. Because we carry this need to be in control when we speak English. What does that look like? – Not speaking before knowing exactly what you're going to say – Not pronouncing words you're uncertain of their pronunciation – Not using words you're unsure of how to use them – Not speaking much to people you don’t know And more… But in order to feel more freedom when speaking English, you have to give yourself room to grow and experiment and make mistakes. And that means letting go of control. And unfortunately, many English speakers as a second language don't allow themselves that. In this episode, I share my own experience with holding on to and letting go of the need for control, and how it relates to perfectionism. Tune in and you'll get to hear how I think you can let go a bit more and really be present in your English. Why Perfectionism Will KILL Your Fluency: https://hadarshemesh.com/podcast/62/

In this Immigrant Experience interview, we'll hear the story of Marcelo Silveira, who moved from Brazil to the U.S. for work. In this interview Marcelo openly talks about his experience as an immigrant and the rough start he had when he first moved to the U.S. He talks about the loss of identity as an immigrant and the need to reinvent himself. He also talks about what it was like to be facing small incidents of discrimination, that affected his self-worth and confidence. But most importantly he will tell us about overcoming all obstacles and reinventing himself in this new country. Marcelo is an inspiration and an active member in our community, and I'm proud to call him our student. Every immigrant has a story. A story about their journey, their identity, their accomplishments and struggles, and of course, the place of English in it. Many of my students are immigrants, I was an immigrant myself. There are commonalities, for sure, but each story is unique, a story worth telling and listening to. If you'd like to share your English story as an immigrant, we'd be happy to hear it (click here https://bit.ly/3GSp6d4). During the next few months I'll share some of your stories, answer questions you might have, and host immigrants, as well as people whose work involves English and the immigrant experience.

Do you use shadowing when practicing English? Shadowing is one of the best ways to improve your English speaking skills as it helps improve pronunciation, intonation, and vocabulary. It can also help you improve *unconsciously* things like rhythm, stress, grammar, and more. Sounds like fun, no? But, it can also be a WASTE OF TIME! Without proper guidance, it's easy to fall into the trap of practicing it in an ineffective way! And then you won't be seeing the results you COULD be seeing.

What happens when you're choosing not to speak? When you feel limited by a language? Maybe you've gotten used to avoiding speaking so much that you feel people don't really know the REAL you. When you constantly feel like your voice is not heard – whether it's because of others not listening to you or because you're not speaking enough, especially when it matters – you might feel you're invisible. There's nothing worse than feeling that people don't REALLY see you.

I first heard of Hadar Shemesh going down the rabbit hole of looking for new podcasts to listen to and her Influency Podcast caught my eye - or ears in this case. Her passion to have her listeners own their voice was very much aligned with mine and I kept hearing myself say, yes, yes! Agreeing with her content and how her words were very similar to my own passion and values of empower women's voices and creating a diverse voice in podcasting. So I had to reach out and I am so glad that she decided to come on the show! Hadar is an Israeli entrepreneur who helps non-native speakers of English find clarity and freedom in English. She is committed to dismantling the notion that English belongs to native speakers with a standard accent and shares her work on her YouTube channel Accent's Way English with Hadar and her podcast which I mentioned earlier - the InFluency Podcast. Today we chat about owning your voice (with a non-standard accent), impostor syndrome, showing up publicly (whether on a podcast or video) when English is not your first langauge, the lack of diverse voices and the impact it has on how we perceive our own voices. Hadar is so inspiring and I know you are going to find a lot of great insight from listening to this episode. So let's get started!
