This is how I always feel when customers don’t understand me. I feel like I’m a failure at my job, I work in call center by the way. It’s hard that when they say they can’t understand what you’re saying and will ask where am I from or where are we located… there’s intimidation. I wish these native English speakers should open up and listen to various languages too and get familiarized with them
I live Massachusetts for 3 years and I feel so embarrassed when ppl can’t understand me. Pronouncing correctly a word or some words in a sentence is pretty hard. Ur tips are definitely precious. Thank you.
No big deal becoz America itself got the same word pronounced 50-60 types differently, due to lots of ethnic in the same bowl. When they understand you that's their problems could be they weak in vocabulary or words usage. Cool 😎
2:27 start main topic! 1. Repeat the word again and slowly with deep breath + Say little deffirently + Try focus on one key word as most significant one 2. Body language (Even if not face to face) With your body, present your feeling +Confidence and pride +mind set 3. do your homework!! Write down the word or sentence they didnt understand and fix intonation etc.. And practicing next time! Some of spellings may be wrong as i’m non-native🤣
English is my second language and I've learned it since 2000. When my own sister does not understand what I'm saying, I feel so bad about myself. I feel like I'm failed. But after watch this video, I feel much better. Thank you for the tips, Hadar!
Your english accent is very clear and good. Even you are brave and able to make an English learning course that prioritizes learning pronunciation and you also don't give half-assed lessons, you also share it to your RUclips content. Even though if you are not a native speaker. It's rare for native speakers to give courses or videos on pronunciation like you. Very important pronunciation for beginners learning a new language. And when you talk on video, I really like the way you talk with enthusiasm and confidence, your body language are really good. I learned a lot from some of your videos. Thank you very much for the content you create, it really helps us ❤️ greetings from Indonesia 🇲🇨
Sometimes when people don't understand me, I always try to say that I am going to say slower, and always works. And before you know it, I adore shadowing you and learn with you. So thank you ever so much for making lessons like this. A huge hug from Colombia.
Recently I'm attending in some English meetings conversation via zoom, this meeting has been useful for me, mainly to improve my pronunciation, but I confess that sometimes I can't understand what they're saying and I can realize that sometimes they can't understand me neither. Just practicing, practicing to get better
I think that I am B1 level and I coudn't believe that I am able to understand You almost 70 % what You Say on this vídeo I'm studying only whatching and listening your videos I'm just learning a Lot of vocabulary with You and improving My listening skills Thanks a lot
This is the video what I needed, I live in Mexico but I work with customers who lives in USA and it's really frustrating when the people says "I don't understand nothing what are you saying", "I passed a really bad time trying to understand you", "Can I talk with somebody who can speak English?" a lot of times I think if my English is really bad or only the people is rude because I'm Hispanic.
No te sientas mal por eso, solo son una bola de racistas -.- Si no pudieras hablar Inglés no tendrías ese empleo, en primer lugar, y en segundo lugar, tú sigues dando lo mejor de ti, sigues aprendiendo y tienes la intensión de cada vez ser mejor, ellos creen que solo porque hablan Inglés no necesitan hacer ningun esfuerzo extra XD A la mayoría de Gringos no les interes aprender un segundo idioma porque se creen muy superiores con su Inglés
When i said something and other person have no idea of what it was. I feel something like "Oh my, that happens again. Damn. I should think twice harder to make my words clear". I start to use more words and speak faster. Now as i watched your video, Hadar, i see that it's not the best solution. Smile and pronounce your words clearly, don't miss the endings. Never thought of such an easy solution. Thank you, Hadar
When people can't understand me and even need to get someone else to understand me especially at restaurant i feel embarrassed and annoyed and tired of it I repeat the sentence back slowly and sometimes point at something like at a restaurant for a order and i also worries later when i will need to do an important phone call or speek to someone about something important and they can't understand i feel mostly worried for that your vidéo helped a lot and showed me i'm not alone in this
Hi… for me it’s a mixing of feeling when do not understand me. It depends on how I’m feeling in that moment. So, what I want to say is that learning a new language is so much more than learning the grammar etc… it’s a self- knowledge journey.
What we often forget when speaking English as a second language is that conversing in English is about communication, not about self-testing or showing off our ability to speak in public. When your message doesn't successfully get across to the other party during the conversation, tapping into a range of nonverbal cues would simply do the trick. And as Hadar points out in this video, don't forget to relax before restating what you said earlier. As soon as you start getting nervous, the other party instantly notices this change and feels nervous as well.
The first time when i spoke with my cousins in English i felt that they didn't understand to me, because here in the schools don't focus in the pronunciation and the English teaching , the teachers only focus un basic things only and that experience was terrible speaking with my cousins in English.
I've been trying to speak English as fluent as I can, so i am used to of practising englisk speaking with my elders. But though they don't know that bunch of English still they start judging because they aren't familiar with the voices I'm trying to pronounce. They were like: don't to be a Englishman. So would you plz suggest me some app Or website where I'm able to make myself mor proficient with my speaking skills, where I'll catch up with some more English learners who share the same hard work for English fluency as I do...... You're doing a great job mam. I'll appreciate it. Best of luck for your future. 💜❤
Excellent tips but sometimes the other person will not even try to understand. In my case my husband can not understand anything I say the first time I say it. It frustrates me because I feel he doesn’t really try. Most people do understand me.
I feel bad but I’ve been practicing a bit cause I used to work in a call center, I repeat calmly and slowly in a deeper voice but best advice is practice pronunciation ( that goes for me also)
Hello Hadar, greetings from Colombia. I've been watching your videos for a while and they have helped me a lot to improve my English. Thank you very much! However, I am still felling embarrassed when trying to have a conversation. I mean, when I talk to my self, I remember all the words and even expressions that I've learned so far, however, when facing a real conversation, it's just like everything I know is gone forever. That's kind of frustrating, what should I do? By the way I was trying to join your English programs but it seems that they are full. Cheers!
This happened to me frequently. I am an Indonesian living in Melbourne. There were moments when I say something and everyone is quiet, with no response. I was sad and really wanted to slap my face. That's why I hate socialising. Anyway, thanks for the tips. This is really helpful.
Thanks for your sharing. When I speak something by English with s.o, I often feel so worry. Because I think that whether people can understand what I said and do they think my pronounciation is not really good and my language is very funny. It very bad to me although I am trying to improve my english day by day. It will make me feel not confident about my english and I cant relax when I speak it again.
Hi, Hadar. I am one of your members, I am trying hard to improve my English. But i feel really hard. Could you share some tips or advice to help me. Thank you very much
Thanks you so much hadar...Im learning easily with your video lessons...can underatand your clases and spend learn more... I like your pronunciation ...im from venezuela...
yes hadar , when the people dont understand me i put too shy and start to feel stuck thinking , what do i say wrong ? lol ok thanks for the video helps a lot
Hi Hadar i m speach less what a beautiful way of teaching and explanations ..I thought i should watch all your's videos 5 years before but it's ok now I'm trying to follow Hadar guidelines and hope I will improve my every section of english .request to forgive if here is any mistake in writing.Regards and have a beautiful moments ...
I work in the healthcare field and witness all the time how even natives often do not understand each other. That has resolved ALL my issues with this matter ))) I even have to explain sometimes to patients what my fellow American born coworker just said ))) Especially if you work with elderly people. Trust me, that happens more frequently, when you can imagine. For instance, one time my fellow coworker asked a patient to take off his shirt and pt decided that he has been asked to remove his shorts (and almost took them off)! And they both have American English as their mother tongue.
thanks for your videos, they are very informative. well in my case actually I feel shame jejej but fortunately I always figure it out to make understand.
But im facing a situation that i dont understand with my colleague with people from other area. When i said "sorry i dont really understand..." , and they just repeat exactly the same, which i still dont understand. Then, i am the person who feel so frustrated and sorry.... 😔
I feel shame and tired especially I don’t have some one to speak with mostly, so when I meet someone and loos the opportunity I feel myself is hopeless case
People sometimes don't undestand me in my native language, lol. It is something that happend to some people (It is about diction and articulation of the words) and maybe that is one of the reason because they are not undestood. So they need to improve they voice in general (not only in English) to fix the problem. It is about doing some exercises.
How can I learn new words, teacher? What was your method? Every time I try to express myself, I always need words that I can't go looking up on Dictionary at the time. :/
Did you try talking to yourself in English? In this case you actually do have that vocabulary at hand and you can look up the word you're missing. Or you might remember it in 15 seconds (without stress). And then practice will help you extend that vocabulary more and more. :)
And what should I do when they don't understand my name? LOL Honestly I won't change the way my name is pronounced just because they find it hard to say it properly, but sometimes is frustrating XD They try to call you by the right name, but they just keep on making up some random names that have nothing to do with your name XD The thing is: I think that if I can be respecful and pronounce their names the way they sound in their native language, they can do the same, I mean, it won't kill them to at least try XD But, yeah, they don't understand you, so you spell it and then say it again and they just repeat it, but their way LOL
I think as soon as a white skinned native sees someone with a darker skin color who is a foreigner they automatically pretend not to understand their accent. My cousin was Australian born yet people kept asking him if he was from a foreign country and when did he learn English ? They fail to understand that a brown skinned person can be born in a first world country too.
This is how I always feel when customers don’t understand me. I feel like I’m a failure at my job, I work in call center by the way. It’s hard that when they say they can’t understand what you’re saying and will ask where am I from or where are we located… there’s intimidation.

Glad to hear that. It’ll get better. Don’t feel embarrassed. You’re doing your best. That’s all that matters ❤️
Dear Hadar, Idon't feel anything now a days. I owe it you! I simply repeat.
Me too the same thing
No big deal becoz America itself got the same word pronounced 50-60 types differently, due to lots of ethnic in the same bowl.
When they understand you that's their problems could be they weak in vocabulary or words usage. Cool 😎
It's ok many people speak English their whole life and don't speak very well
2:27 start main topic!
1. Repeat the word again and slowly with deep breath
+ Say little deffirently
+ Try focus on one key word as most significant one
2. Body language (Even if not face to face)
With your body, present your feeling
+Confidence and pride
+mind set
3. do your homework!!
Write down the word or sentence they didnt understand and fix intonation etc..
And practicing next time!
Some of spellings may be wrong as i’m non-native🤣
English is my second language and I've learned it since 2000. When my own sister does not understand what I'm saying, I feel so bad about myself. I feel like I'm failed. But after watch this video, I feel much better. Thank you for the tips, Hadar!
Always here for you ❤️🙏🏽
Do you want to talk
This is my Nomber
If u want to talk. you can talk
Also I want to improve over English
Dear. Hadar, you are an amazing speaker. When someone doesn't understand to me what I say, the next time I don't want to speak anymore to anyone.
Thanks Hadar... Wen people dont understand me i will say it slowly...

Thanks a lot

Omg do you work on a call center ?
Hahaha I feel you, I’m exactly as you
No te sientas mal por eso, solo son una bola de racistas -.- Si no pudieras hablar Inglés no tendrías ese empleo, en primer lugar, y en segundo lugar, tú sigues dando lo mejor de ti, sigues aprendiendo y tienes la intensión de cada vez ser mejor, ellos creen que solo porque hablan Inglés no necesitan hacer ningun esfuerzo extra XD A la mayoría de Gringos no les interes aprender un segundo idioma porque se creen muy superiores con su Inglés
I think they are impatient and unfortunately it is easy for people to be rude on the phone. I'm sure your English is fine ❤️
When i said something and other person have no idea of what it was. I feel something like "Oh my, that happens again. Damn. I should think twice harder to make my words clear". I start to use more words and speak faster.
Now as i watched your video, Hadar, i see that it's not the best solution. Smile and pronounce your words clearly, don't miss the endings. Never thought of such an easy solution. Thank you, Hadar
Keep me posted how that’s going!! 🙌❤️

What I do is to repeat the sentence slowly or just paraphrase it
Thanks, Hadar!
Highly useful contribution to our understanding of
how the English language works.
I live in Mississippi. Sometimes when people don't understand my pronunciation, it's made me 😭 cry.
Seus vídeos são muito bons! Sou uma aprendiz de inglês e aprendo muito com você! Tenho evoluído muito ☺️🎉
Well, I used to feel so embarrassed but now I get mad at them and repeat what I said slowly and with attitude 😂
Thanks for your work Hadar!!
Yikes I hate when people do that!
It's incredible how well you describe how I feel myself. Thank you so much for your tips, they're really appreciated ❤️
Hadar, can you please make a video about yourself ( your life, career and etc. )? It would be really interesting 😃

Please add me in your influence community 🙏🏼☺🙂. I love your hard work. Thanks 😊
people don't understand me in my native language let alone English
What a name lol head-R 😆 at least its not head-pg13
I think the people you are referring to (early learners), will not understand you too in this video
Do you think only beginners are not understood? That’s not the case from my experience:)
@@hadar.shemesh that means they are not begginers anymore
@@hadar.shemesh Science has proven that people who don't understand various accents have low IQ .
I think as soon as a white skinned native sees someone with a darker skin color who is a foreigner they automatically pretend not to understand their accent. My cousin was Australian born yet people kept asking him if he was from a foreign country and when did he learn English ? They fail to understand that a brown skinned person can be born in a first world country too.
Accent discrimination has a lot to do with racism
I thought this is some psychological video.
