HADAR SHEMESH
About this episode

I love success stories. Especially when I see someone who I identify with achieving the things I want to achieve in life. That’s why I’m so excited to share with you today’s real-life success stories!

In this episode, I’m interviewing 6 of my New Sound students as they share their experience inside New Sound, and what has become possible for them during and after.

Join New Sound today: https://bit.ly/3ZcYhus

They’ll share what are the things that they needed to learn, and the things they needed to let go of to speak English powerfully, clearly and fluently.

They will also share the values of what New Sound is all about: speaking up, being heard, and using your English voice to change your life. And mostly, when we build pronunciation confidence, we feel more free and fluent, and much more like ourselves when speaking.

My students with me today are:

Rosario Oliva, a Software developer living in Italy Antonina Zusko, an English tutor from Ukraine, now living in the US Luciana Caraça, a UX Designer from Brazil, now living in Portugal Fred Silva, a digital marketer living in Brazil Muxiang Liu Pajerski, a National Marketing Technology Project Manager from China, now living in the US Sheena Weeden, a stay-at-home mom from the Philippines, now living in the US
