Feeling stuck in English and haven't seen progress, even though you've been working on your English for a while? 

This is probably because of 1 of 2 reasons:

Reason 1: You're not practicing consistently
Reason 2: You're learning in a way that is not actually effective

This video is focused on how to shift your mindset, build better habits, and create a learning experience that helps you feel more confident, more free, and more like yourself in English.

I'm sharing with you 5 powerful values that can completely transform the way you practice English:

  • Action over comfort
  • Practice builds confidence
  • Communication over perfection
  • Lead with care
  • Own your growth

These are the same values we use inside Beyond, our English practice community, and they can help you change not only how you learn English, but how you show up for yourself.


Hadar Shemesh hosts The InFluency Podcast, drawing from her own journey from an intermediate English speaker to a recognized pronunciation expert and fluency coach. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a practical, empathetic guide for anyone who feels stuck in their language learning. Hadar's conversations and solo episodes delve into the tangible strategies that actually work for acquiring an American accent, building unshakeable confidence, and moving beyond textbook English to authentic, fluid speech. You'll hear a blend of mindset shifts, technical pronunciation breakdowns, and stories from a global community of learners. The focus is always on the human side of fluency-how it connects to identity, courage, and communication. Each episode of this podcast feels like a direct coaching session, offering actionable steps that address the real frustrations and aspirations of students and teachers alike. Hadar's approach demystifies the process, making the path to speaking English with assurance feel not only possible but deeply personal. Tune in for a resource that understands the journey because the host has lived it, creating a space where progress is celebrated over perfection.
