The InFluency Podcast Hadar Shemesh

I’ve been teasing it for the past few weeks, but on June 1, we finally had our student meetup! We had 80 students come from all around the world to meet each other – most of us meeting for the very first time in person! It was so incredible, emotional, and special to connect with the students that I’ve known over the screen (some of them for more than 5 years!) and finally hug them in real life.

This week I’m talking about all the things that I’m currently planning. The thing is, since the moment I arrived in Spain, I haven’t stopped PLANNING! And even though it seems like a simple thing, I feel it’s one of the most energy consuming things we do!
From planning a holiday, to a birthday party for Amalia, a community meetup, team activities, play dates, it’s so. much. planning.
In today’s episode I’ll also share with you my tips for how to plan well, and other exciting updates about my community retreat.

In this episode I talk about the impostor syndrome, what it is, and how it affects non-native speakers of English. This is an episode I published 3 years ago, and I wanted to bring it back for all the new people who joined my world recently!

We all know that speaking a language fluently has tons of advantages. Better communication! New friendships! Less misunderstandings! Life is easier when you understand everyone around you, no doubt.
But today, I wanted to think of it from a COMPLETELY different perspective. What are the advantages of NOT being fluent in a language? I’ve noticed quite a few things that I’ve experienced since moving to Spain where I can’t understand everything that’s being spoken around me…and that’s what I want to share with you today.

Can I get that to go? Can I get the dressing on the side? There are tons of useful expressions to know when you go to a restaurant. Today, we’re going to practice 20 of them focusing on pronunciation, rhythm and intonation so the next time you go out to eat in English, you can ask for the specials with confidence and clarity.
