About this episode

If you liked this Sprint, you’re probably going to like the SPRINT MASTER – 30 different Sprints for a powerful daily practice: https://hadarshemesh.com/sprint-master

As an English learner, you probably already know that speaking is a big part of improving EVERYTHING about your English.

And if you don’t speak English on a daily basis, when you DO speak, it may seem like you’re only using about 25% of what you know whether it’s grammar, vocabulary, or pronunciation.

As a result, you get stuck, seem to forget words or how to form a grammatical sentence (have? has?), mispronounce words, and get way too self-conscious and insecure about speaking.

So – how can you overcome this? How can you create the speaking experience and muscle memory of correct sounds, grammatically correct sentences and new words WITHOUT the opportunity of using it all in context day in and day out?

Exactly for that reason I created these daily sprints.

The sprints are a sequence of pronunciation drills aimed at building pronunciation confidence in new sounds, new words and common grammar structures.

The repetition builds muscle memory so it becomes easier to use these sounds, retrieving the words and internalizing the grammar rule used. All while working from the outside IN.

I’ve been using the sprints in my programs and my students tell me this is HANDS DOWN the most effective exercise they’ve ever done.

Today, I wanted to share it with you too.

Get ready…. Set…. SPRINT!
