![#1 STRATEGY to become FLUENT in English [and why you DON'T NEED to 'speak like a native speaker’]](/img/n.gif)
I've noticed that non-native speakers who have reached this high point of language skills are able to speak even better than natives do.
IKR, I think is because there are aware of their mouth movement, like where to place their tongues, how to open their mouth, etc. Native speakers are not aware it just reflexes. That is why voice coaches are the best people to learn from if you want to lose your accent and not from a native speaker.
@@abbysands9510 Wouldn't that mean you'll not be able to understand natives?
@@linking932
Let me clarify what I mean. Yes, you still be able to understand a native depending on your level of English, the idioms you understand, the speed at which the native talks at. You might even learn new vocabulary, correct grammar, pronunciation and in time, be able to improve in your speaking and written English. But you won't be able to reduce your accent if you have one (if that is your goal ) at least not from a native English speaker.
The reason is they don't know the proper tongue placement, the sounds to make, the phonetics, the correct size to open the jaw, linking, word and sentence stress or the intonation. This is because they have been speaking English or whatever language you hope to learn from the native their entire lives and so It becomes a reflex. They mouth just open to the right position and their tongue moves to the right position when they want to produce a word or sentence as well as making the correct sounds.
For you to get rid of an accent you need special training from a voice or accent reduction coach. These people are aware of the sounds and how to make them.
abby Sand got you, and yeah you're right, also they don't know the phonetic symbols, I've asked natives about that and they just say: what are you talking about? haha they're not aware of that, they just make the sounds automatically

True lol.
The 5 elements of fluent speaking:
1. immersion
2. methodology
3. challenge
4. practice
5. communication
This simple plan actually would work for anything you want to improve ✊thank you
Isso aí mesmo
Good summary
I’m a native English speaker (American English) and your accent is absolutely amazing! Wow if I met you I would think you’re American 😂👏👍
Thank you😁♥️🙏
Hello Aljie. I heard someone saying one day that you would never lose your native accent. I'm not doubting this excellent teacher , but be honest. Don't you notice something in her accent that reveals she's a foreigner?
@@sergiobarros5541 always got to be that one stupid person saying something stupid
@@os8051 sempre tem um zé pra pra falar mal, em todos paises
@@sergiobarros5541 The people who say you can never lose your accent are people who were not able to lose their accent, are bitter and have given up. Be perseverant and don't take no for an answer. Querer es poder.
Omg, I thought you were a native speaker.
So inspiring!

When it comes to accent reduction the secret is - go to an acting school. This is where they show you how to work on your accent. Then of course you work on it knowing exactly what to do. Not just "work hard" without a clue. Everything else is secondary.
I’m Russian but I grew up in Germany, Austria, Poland, and France so my accent was so fucked up because of the mix of languages.
lol what
Wow! You've had a lot of experiences mate !!
Kurwa masz dude. You've got to be an poliglot

My husband keeps saying that I can’t have Australian accent , it doesn’t how long I learn and practice but when I watched your video, I know I can change my Vietnamese accent one day
1.Immersion
2.Methodology
3.Challenge
4.Practice almost everyday
5.Communicate
Thank you for this brilliant videolesson, Hadar. So, here's the summary:
1:03 IMMERSION - surround yourself with English! Watch TV in English, read English papers, make English-speaking friends online and in real life, SPEAK English.
1:42 METHODOLOGY - break down English, understand every single part of the language separately, focus on certain grammar points/rules/pronunciation items, etc.
2:28 CHALLENGING - take any speaking opportunity, take any part that is challenging!
3:12 PRACTICE - practice regularly, as much as you can. Work hard! Drill words, repeat words, repeat them again and again, record yourself and speak again. Read out loud wherever you are. Learn to enjoy the process, not only the result. *_Fluency comes from practice._*
4:51 COMMUNICATION - talk a lot. Take opportunities to speak with people. Ask questions and gave answers. Connect with people around you, the more the better! 🙂
Thanks for the summary. It is helpful
@@HerdyHutabarat You're welcome, have a great day dude! 👍
Thanks for the summary
@@Velagutti Thanks mate! I'd be glad if you check out my vlog 😊 I make fun videolessons, podcasts and live vlogs, all in English! 😁🔥 Have a great day! 🙌
I can still hear your native accent, but only on certain sounds you say. You're a really enthusiastic teacher and are inspirational to those wanting to be fluent and communicate well. You've done a great job. I also teach the American accent as well as other accents, so I feel I can comment intelligently about this stuff: the ear cannot always hear what the mouth needs to say. So breaking it down is really, REALLY important.
i am delighted to have this honor of being here and having opportunity to say you thank you very much
Your accent is super incredible, when you speak I can not tell you not native speaker. I'm from South Sudan I don't want to get rid of my accent completely. I want to have a good communication so people can understand me clearly.
Oh I thought she was native! 😮 Now you're my inspiration and motivation! 💯❤🆙💪
Hadar!!! Watching a beautiful woman speaking with such a natural accent and passion really inspire me. I´m watching at least three of your videos and even in my sleep because I left the phone with a video of you.
I thought you were a native speaker. Congrats!!!
I hope one day to reach such a high English level
You're my guru! I've been doing the same thing you taught in the video without realizing it. Thanks for putting all of these techniques into words so many people can learn from this! I have so much admiration to you!
What would be of us without UA-cam and those amazing teachers 👩🏫?
Thank you so much to share all your experiences.
Hey,my teacher Hadar, I don't grow up with English around me, but I surround myself mostly with English. I immerse myself in English and make it part of my daily life. You don't know how much I love English.Quality English learning is the driving force to keep me going.Learning never ends,everyday is my learning day.From now on, you 're my teacher and I must learn from you. You'll stick with me, I'm sure that I can do it, and I can make it in the end.Thanks so much.Have a wonderful week.Bye for now.I'll see you next week in the next video
idk if it's just me but like i'm realising i speak English at my very best when i'm on my own and nobody's listening to me. Also when it comes to talk to native speakers i get self conscious and i tend to lower the tone of my voice. last but not least i speak better at night than in the morning when i wake up. how is that even possible? is it just all in my mind? could someone give me a piece of advice? has anyone got through that too?
Younger96 that's what happens to me always. When I'm alone or when i sing or something my English is good. When I'm with people I get self conscious and I start to say things that i myself don't even understand.
Same thing happens to me as well. haha
That happens to me too, maybe the reason that cuz we spent a lot of time practice our speaking skills alone, so we are good, but when it comes to speak with others, face to face and public, we forgot everything and get lost cuz we actully didn't used to speak face to face yet, so we need to speak with ppl more and more.
When i speak with someone, the first 3 mins always hard to me, but then I feel comfortable and can speak without any problem.
So next time, just keep speaking till you reach the time that you dont find any problem.
For reals tho this is true 😔
Younger96 the morning thing is so relatable ! I think that happens because we are still waking up.. maybe we could sing in English to warm up a little bit? I don’t know!
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us! You are helping and encouraging thousands people
Maravilhosa não, se amostra!!! S2! It's a great pleasure to be part of our wonderful InFluency Community!
I admire your English, the same way I'm indebted to you because of such wonderful tips you give to people.
You're terrific!
Thank you very much for your sharing , I’ve been learning English for many years, I spent a lot of time learning English, but seems like it’s not going as I want it to be, I can understand most of what people talk, but once I speak, everything is not right, my face, my mouth, my tongue, all stuck in the conversation! Sometimes I just kind of get lost in learning English, and don’t know where it’s going wrong.
My goodness! I thought you were a native speaker! Thanks so much for sharing this tips. I've learned a lot from this video. This is so inspiring♡
WOW!!!!!! I thought it was impossible to get rid of one's accent.
I was absolutely blown away by your American accent. If you hadn't mentioned about being a non-native English speaker, I would've thought you were American.
I wish I reached that level of language skill.
I will keep practicing on my pronunciation and watching your videos.
Congratulations!!!!😀🥇🥇🥇🏆🎊🎉
Thank you so much for those tips!
I love watching tv, and memorizing scenes is going to help a lot!
I wish I could go to the future so I could watch her future videos. You’re freaking freaking awesome Hadar and the best non native English speaker in this world.
You're so sweet. Hope to see you in the challenge.
I like listening to Podcasts. I found yours on my app. I hope you will post more so we can learn something from you more efficiently. Thanks a million, my teacher!
Hello Hadar,
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge to the world. I am suffering every single day being intimidated with my colleagues at work because of my poor English speaking ability. I can understand English very well but I always lost my mind when someone is talking to me. I get easily distracted and totally get lost. My why is that I really want to be able to communicate well in English and my dream is to become a great public speaker and motivator in my work place and I don’t want this kind of feeling being nuisance to others. Your advice will be very much appreciated.
Thank you. Hussein
Conclusion very accurate ,condensed and oriented toward the aim
You're amazing 😍😍thanks for sharing your ideas and methodology with us. I speak Spanish and I'm currently involved in the acting field, but I want to work more on my accent . I don't want to lose my latin pronunciation but I challenge myself to sound more neutral every day. It's hard and require a lot of effort but watching your own experience make me feel encouraged to work hard and never quit. Thanks one more time professor.
As a non native english speaker living in US for years. I've been trying to get rid / hide my spanish accent, in my head I think I sound like I don't have an accent but people feedback suggest otherwise. I found your video very inspirational and refreshing. You sound very american :)
Omar Rodriguez How much have you improved after a while of practicing? I’m in that same situation myself.
OMG the same thing happens to me, I came to US when I was 15 and I work at a call center and the other day I was listening some of my English calls and I sounded like I have no accent at all but people don’t think the same!!
Why are people on a desperate mission to sound American? Embrace your BEAUTIFUL accent everyone- it makes you special. Simply focus on speaking correctly in English. Well, just my two cents' worth.

@@ayow123 I am not native in English, I'm from Serbia, yet still I get frustrated when I hear someone with a hard Slavic accent because it sounds awful, even if I have some Slavic accent. Also I don't want to be associated with Russians. I just want to sound like everyone else.
The thing that I love about your videos and your way of teaching is the ‘intimacy’ and ‘emotion’ that come with both. You make videos telling us trying to better our accents how to be more confident and not shy, you give advice, tell us how to make sound but you also try to put yourself in our shoes and validate our feelings if we’re insecure or whatnot you don’t just mechanically say ‘do xyz and thats that’ your way of teaching/videos is very personal (ok personal that was the word I was looking for!). I’ve been feeling very depressed about how I sound and you’re one of the people that have helped me get out of my rut and stay positive and continue to try to be better 😄 I don’t think you realize how much you’re doing for so many of us, thank you for all the content you put out and all the hard work that you put in your video is very appreciated
You brought tears to my eyes. I can’t tell you how meaningful your words are to me. Sending you a big hug!!
I’m kazakh national and living in China, I just found your videos and it was right choice to increase my speaking and listening skill in English I think
To be honest, I was under the impression convinced that you were native, your accent is awesome! I wish I spoke English the way you do it. Congratulations for having got this far👍👏👌.
This is hard to believe that you are not native speaker. You speak fantastic. I also learned Hebrew but unfortunately have much forgotten. Now I need and want learn good English but to speak like you seems not possible. But I will try. Thank you very much for your help. You´re beatiful!
People like you are the real motivator to speak English confidently by overcoming the fear that pulls me down.
Thank you so much for the english lesson. I really appreciate it ♥️
Wow I'm happy for you❤ at first i thought you were a native wish i could some day speak like this
You're an inspiration. I really love your accent, I actually thought you were a native English speaker.
You speak very clear, I can understand every thing you say. Goog job. Thank
Thank you a lot! May God bless you! You teach English very well. I appreciate it.
Wow your English is amazing! I know from learning languages myself how hard it can be to perfect the accent to the extent that you have
Congratulations to you! Your level of pronunciation is outstanding taking into account the fact that you moved to the US at the age of 20! I've never seen anyone pulling such a great American at accent at that age. 👏👏👏
I loved this vídeo! You speak pretty good and I enjoyed you speaking
This is just the video that I've been looking for. You are absolutely amazing and what you said in the video and the way you said it just inspired me a lot to spend more time with English. Thank you, Hadar. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, I'm so happy to hear. And you know, the challenge group is still alive and kicking.. join and practice with us!!
Thinking in English is a fun way of learning English. I got this skill/technique when I was at school. A good teacher will let you understand everything. And everything will be going very fast. It is not kidding.
I can't believe you had accent! Would be nice if you could post your pervious accent. Thank you for motivating me to do more to speak confident :)
Wow...I just loved your story...you speak perfectly as an American ! Congrats!
Thanks for theses useful tips. Love you!
I love you. You give me hope. My original language is Spanish. After many years in the US, I am able to communicate and most of what I say is understood. But it frustrates me the slow pace. My accent is still very heavy. My daughters keep correcting me and making fun of me. I guess I have to follow your advice on challenging myself and being disciplined with my learning and practice.
Great advices! I noticed myself when I'm surrounded with people of my native language all the time, i tend to forget how to communicate well with english speakers. I'll take your suggestions to practice all the time.
excellent lecture! beautiful lecturer! love both
You are awesome 👏🏼 👏🏼 I just subscribed to your channel..Your accent is perfect and I love the way you pronounce and stress the words. Thank you for the explanation! 😊👍🏼

Hello Hadar,
I am originally from Brazil, living in US since November 2000.....I came across your videos and it’s being really helpful on make me sound more clear.....thank you so much for doing this, you are tremendous.
By the way, I am fascinated about Israel and wonder if you hold any Hebrew classes...
I truly like how you enunciate your words!!
Thanks for your video .I hope I can do this .
Fantastic video! Thanks 😍
Hi, Hadar, your name is like a star also called Beta Centaury from Centaury constellatiion (not visible in the US), your american accent is awesome, will be interesting listen to you speaking your native language.
I always go back to this video for inspiration, ur an amazing professor..
Your message made me very happy. 🙌🙏
Excelent teacher!
Perfect go on👌thank you
Lovely girl and amazing teacher. Thaks for helping us improve our english.
Cool. For me, brazilian, it's easy to get you cause your speech is very clear.
You five me confidence! Tks
May God bless you teacher !
I've been living in the US for several years, however, I've never gave a crap about changing my accent. I felt like I was betraying myself, my language, my country, my culture... why do I need to try so hard to be American, why should I alienate myself to a culture that I don't even like???
However, I just got a fancy job in a fancy company in the USA...and my accent is killling me, my white American coworkers are understimating and ignoring me most of the times.
So, since I'm not able to change the world or Americans, now I'm here watching your videos and trying so hard to improve my accent to success on my career!
Thank you for taking your time . I'm sure there are many like me struggling with this!
I think it's fine not to lose your accent if your English is understandable globally, I mean not only for people in native English-speaking countries but also non-native English countries.
However, some people in countries barely speak English like Japan where I'm from, have really strong accent and intonation not enough to be able to communicate.（at least smoothly or comfortably）.
The minimum understandable accent is needed for us and when we try to get that, we study British English or American English in most cases. What if you go get a job and life in the US with the accent that's difficult to understand and have no willing to improve it and fit in, wouldn't you feel rude and arrogant?
I guess you are from a country where ppl speak English sometimes and you can communicate, so no need for it.
I just want to let you know the other situation.
Being proud of your accent is great, I also find it beautiful for ppl having each accent speaking one language, but I don't think changing accent is not necessarily betraying my language, country or culture if it's not the first language. Although English is different from other languages, the desire and goal of a language learner is fluency as in grammar, vocab, pronunciation, accent and so on in general. Most language learners are working on how to sound like a natives as much as possible. To be honest, I'm pleased to be told that like "You sound like natives", and ppl take it as a compliment right? I feel it's cool when someone speaks second and more Languages without an accent. Still, I think there is no need to be like natives for Language learners. just I feel it's cool.
Changing our own mother tongue accent would be perhaps betrayal though.
One question, why do you work for the country you don't like the culture in there?
Just because you can get a fancy job?
I don't know your situation at all, so don't know whether you come to dislike the culture because of those coworkers or you don't like the culture by nature. Either way, I think you are in wrong place, bad for yourself and bad for your coworkers and neighbors. A person comes and gets a job and a home, like "I don't even like this cultureeeeee". Do you welcome them?
Even if you're pretending that I like this place!, I think something leak out from you and they feel it.
The U.S. is melting pot of many nationalities, but still American, their country. Think it as yourself and your country.
Ignoring someone is unacceptable as human being, It's their fault obviously no matter what, but the cause of that might not be your accent. I know lots of people who are not American, have an accent and work in the states, but I've never heard of them been given the cold shoulder or disrespectful actions. I know many foreigners who work in Japan, and off course most of them have an accent in Japanese. I and coworkers never make fun of them or ignore them because of their accent.（plus no matter reasons）
If you are treated coolly, because of just an accent, They are the jerk. You don't have to improve your accent in my opinion. You don't have to be changed, they need.
Sorry, I got off track..
I hope you or someone who read this all the way understand my English. No need to get my point, it's just my opinion and practice of writing English.
Good luck on you career.
Thank you.
@SunnyRae Star it's all about money , I wish I could go back to Europe because is so much better over there but I have a good job in San Francisco and I still hate it here 🙃

You are out of this world teacher in my learning english process
I can't believe you are not a native speaker. Your level is too high! Now I'm more motivated. And by the way. Creo que te amoooooooo! Eres probablemente la profesora mas profesional que he visto en todo UA-cam. Y además, m pareces tan bonita :) :) :)
Hello hello first i thought you are a native speaker of english, i've surprised when u said am from Israël... that's really inspired me to work on my english( english is my second language) thanks for your precious advices
Wow 😮
This is the video I was looking for,
a nonnative person telling his or her story and all the struggles and obstacles it’s to learn and master a second language.
Practice makes perfect
I really admire people who can speak two or more languages with such a fluency and without accent or very little accent
I have a long ways to go, but I will keep practicing and hoping that one day I will sound as good you as you
Nice video 👍🏼
❤️❤️❤️
Hi
