279. Real Stories About What’s Possible | Interview with Dharshini

My students and community members are truly inspiring. In these What’s Possible episodes, I’ll have a conversation with them about their journey, and in particular what has worked for them and led them to change the circumstances in their lives (for the better!). In this episode, Dharshini, a student of mine, shares about the shift she has made in her life. Dharshini used to avoid speaking in English because she didn’t want to make any mistakes.

278. Mistakes

Join my new mindset training! 30 days of audio trainings designed to transform your confidence and mindset in English hadarshemesh.com/mindset Are all mistakes in English equally important? What does that even mean to make a mistake? And who decides what IS a mistake ANYWAY?? In this episode, I discuss my holistic yet unconventional approach toward mistakes in English, and why I think the way we currently address mistakes is often the reason why people are struggling to see progress. The idea for this episode came from receiving MANY comments on a recent video I created calling out other YouTube creators for their content. It made me realize that we all need a decent shift in how we think about mistakes, and to recognize the complexity of speaking and owning any language.

274. Connected speech in English: How to use it to sound even clearer

Whadaya thin-ki-nabout? Connected Speech in English – it’s not always so clear! Connected speech in English is a powerful tool to help us understand others, and be even clearer in English! Yep, connecting your words will actually help you sound clearer. Do you ever get the feeling that you have to pronounce every word separately? You’re not the only one. But actually, not connecting words together can have a significant impact on your clarity and lead to some misunderstanding. In this episode, I’ll show you how connected speech works in English and how you can practice it in a way that will help you as a listener as well as a speaker of English.
