#1 STRATEGY to become FLUENT in English [and why you DON'T NEED to 'speak like a native speaker’]

This video is a MUST WATCH if improving your English is one of your goals. Learn how to stop wasting your time watching the WRONG video lessons on YouTube, how to make every time you learn something new STICK, what’s the most effective way to enhance your vocabulary and how to own that FLUENT MINDSET that is so crucial when speaking English as a second language (you’ll also learn why I HATE the term “sound like a native speaker”).

i have a few rules that helped me: 1. most people are happy when they simply get a response, they do not care tbout your grammar!! 2. if you miss a word- use an other one or say it in a different way... 3. use gap-fillers! like: you see?, you know? dont tell me...., tell me...., well......, exactly, certainly, absolutely, 4. use short sentences and phrases! we austrians often speak in long sentences, and full sentences, natives dont do that, they use short phrases or sentences. we say (in german): Yes sure, that sounds good! how do you do? native english: Sure, sounds good! how's it goin'? 5. think english! do not translate in your mind- stop learning words in your first language and then translate, it is useless, just learn the word and the meaning, all in english!!!

10:57 "You don't need to sound like a native speaker, sound like yourself, but your more fluid, expressive and confident self" that bought me

1) I think the most challenging thing for me is to speak correctly. Yeah, I'm not afraid of mistakes but sometimes I get stuck and my speech crashes :) 2) My plan: - I'm gonna learn and practice the rules that I'm struggling with (As a rule It's common tenses) - I don't want to expand my vocabulary I just want to use the words and phrases I've already known but don't use

The concept of starting with a more practical goal as "speaking English fluently with confidence" instead of "speaking perfect English like a native speaker" is GOLD. Thank you Hadar!

Happy New-Year EVERYONE! May this year be the year of your breakthroughs! <3

I'm a native English speaker passing through but I'm also a language learner and your tips are applicable for any language. You deserve a much bigger audience. I will share your videos with my conversation partners learning English. We are all on the same journey, just on opposite ends of the road. Happy New Year Hadar!

I have been studying English for two years now and believe me people, if you follow these tips that she was talking about you will become not only better in speaking English but also you will become comfortable when you talk with others. I hoped that I found this video earlier it helped me a lot ,thank you so much ❤️

You're a GEM!!! This is exactly what my college professor taught me and what I exactly tell my students who are learning English as a second language. Love, love your channel. Keep inspiring us!

Haddar is not just teaching English and giving excellent advice. She’s repairing the world, one video at a time!

You got me in tears when you said “You don’t need to sound like a native. You need to sound like yourself.” I still remember when I started learning English at a late age (16). I’d ask my English native-speaking friends about the sound of my accent. One of them answered me, “You sound like Larry.” At this time, I never understood what they actually meant; I thought they were acting nice and did not want me to feel down. Over the course of the years, however, I learned to embrace my accent since there isn’t much I could do to sound like James Franco. I trained my brain into believing that my accent represents my culture. This approach has given me so much confidence and now I speak with so much freedom. Thanks for making these helpful videos. Happy New Year! :)

Hi, Haddar! I am an English teacher from the Philippines.😊 I just want to commend you for this informative lesson. Even if I already have my degree and license, I'm still in pursuit of getting better as English is not my mother language. I want to be as good as you and the other English teachers here on youtube. I'm looking forward to watching more of your instructive videos.❤️

"small changes make all the difference" I Loved it ❤️❤️❤️

I can't believe that you're non- native speaker, you're amazing God bless you,,,,

Oh God, I'm in tears! This is the lesson I needed. The main takeaway for me was: "get stuck, make a mistake!" Thank you, Hadar! Hugs from Hungary! 🧡

Thank you miss Hadar, The thing I struggle the most with is confidence. My plan is to keep following you and put your advice into practice and I am doing it. Sooner or later I am going share a video of myself speaking to your community group. Have a beatiful day too. Take care!

I listen no bullshit, I could observe no self-obsession. Just the straight content which I require. Subscribed for worthy content, make me feel I have the potential to perform all the exercises and tips you provide. Thank you!

Nice to meet you Hadar you're excellent. I'm an English and Spanish Teacher from Venezuela and your advice had helped me a lot. We can speak English without pretending to sound like native people and another truth is that in XXI century we don't have to spend years in an English speaking country to improve our skills, we have the technology to reach our goals.

Hi Haddar! Thanks for this video. I have always found myself in the limbo of beng Miss perfect and worry so much when I make mistake and sometimes don't forgive myself for making mistake. With this, am set to go forth and communicate my message to the world and make a difference. Thank you once more Haddar!
