425. The Schwa: How One TINY Sound Can Make a HUGE Difference [Revisiting favorite episodes]

Episode 425

Friday, August 23, 2024 • Duration 39:51

We're revisiting some of our most popular and favorite episodes on the podcast.

I mention the schwa almost every time I speak about American English. That's because this vowel is all over the place, and once you hear it, you never stop hearing it 🙂

The schwa is a very short and "relaxed" kind of vowel. It's a pretty tricky vowel for non-native speakers but if you get it, you get the secret to American English pronunciation and you become SO much clearer.

Also, you will find yourself investing much less energy in speaking, which is also important 🙂

Tune in and learn more about this special vowel and how to use it. And let me know what you think in the comments below.

424. How to effectively practice your intonation in English [Revisiting favorite episodes]

Episode 424

Friday, August 16, 2024 • Duration 42:43

We're revisiting some of our most popular and favorite episodes on the podcast.

In this podcast episode I elaborate on how to practice it effectively and integrate it into your day-to-day speech.

Because forming a sentence is not enough. And making the right sounds isn't enough. It's the intonation that determines the meaning of the sentence: is it a question or a statement? Is it a joke and you're just being sarcastic? This is also where culture and your inner feelings are thrown into the mix. Intonation conveys ALL of that.

To do that you need to know how to practice! This is why I also share my most effective practice techniques that I've used myself and with my students, that are going to help you improve your intonation and deliver your message in a clear way.

If you haven't listened to my previous episode about American intonation, don't miss out on it: https://hadarshemesh.com/podcast/12/

Episode 421

Friday, August 2, 2024 • Duration 27:22

Over the summer, we're revisiting some of my FAVORITE episodes and stories that I've shared with you over the past several years on the podcast!

Pronunciation is the door to understanding and mastering spoken English. It's the secret of speaking with confidence and communicating clearly. In this episode, I pinpoint the reasons why learning pronunciation is crucial if you want to make an impact and not compromise your message. Because this is really what it's all about. It's not about you sounding more American and losing your identity. It's about you feeling amazing in your own skin when you communicate in English.

428. How Small, Smart Choices Can Transform Your English | The Compound Effect [Revisiting favorite episodes]

Episode 428

Friday, September 6, 2024 • Duration 45:16

We're revisiting some of our most popular and favorite episodes on the podcast.

Taking small actions every day leads to great results. Author Darren Hardy calls it "The Compound Effect", and it holds for a lot of things in life. In this episode, I'll discuss how I've realized it's deeply relevant to English learning and speaking. I experienced it in acting school, in the accent training courses I took, and in the past decade in teaching and building my business. I see it in my students as well, as they put in the work day in day out, not seeing immediate results but then reach a breakthrough and impact other people around them.
