Spanish and Me ❤️‍🩹 - my experience learning another language | My Relocation Diaries 

Wow 🤩 Hadar it’s nice to hear you speaking Spanish good job 👏 😊❤ You can say : Como estoy “Aprendi-ENDO, is Present Continuos “.. (this is like ING, in English.) I’m not a teacher but I hope this helps you to understand what I meant. Aprender = aprendi- Endo (endo) Caminar= Camin- ando. Comer = Comi- endo( endo ) Estudiar= Estudi- ando Estoy aprendiendo Español❤ ❤ I’m glad you’re learning other language. Good for you, We know you are a smart girl and you’ll learn fast , 💪🏽

Siiiiiii, ella hablando espanol oseaaaaaa😍😍😍😍😍good for you Hadar. siiiii I love your Spanish.

👍Good advice and approach. I´m doing the same thing in my jouney to learn English::

Great.

05:03 I feel this as well with english, I understand almost everything that you say but when I need to write or speak, the word simply disappear 😢

Eres increíble 🥰

Consejo II: Do not bother conjugating verbs. For thw time being, and until you become more confident, use the infinitive: Yo "hablar" bien inglés, pero aún no "hablar" muy bien español. A mí, "gustar" mucho Barcelona. We spaniards call it "hablar como los indios", that is, how native americans spoke english in the FarWest movies dubbed into spanish. Sounds weirder than it is, but truly, you will make yoursels understandable until you get to master the crazy latin-language/Spanish conjugations, which are hard even for us.

Living in a Spanish speaking country definitely helps a lot! I was watching a video recently where this person was saying how some people move to another country but they don't grasp the language as much as they would have "expected" to, she pointed out it's because they don't hang around with locals or experience the local culture. They instead rely on services and people who speak their own language (often english)

Jajajaja, me encanta tu español! Cualquier duda que tengas sobre alguna palabra, no dudes en decirme. If you have any questions about Spanish, don't hesitate to tell me. I am from Argentina ❤ hahaha

I was touched when I listened to you speaking spanish. Spanish is my mother tongue and I'm learning English listening to your videos 😊 Saludos 👋🏻 Best wishes

Touching 😊 Every word about experiencing a new language (I prefer it to "learning") resonates deeply, dear Hadar. From my experience, I've found that my "secret sauce" for language acquisition is fully adopting it as part of my identity. Through it, I turned German from being a "foreign" language into my dominant one. The less "foreign" you feel within, the less "foreign" others perceive you. I don't feel like the "same person" when speaking different languages. It used to be strange, but it's not anymore. Thanks to your pronunciation and prosody coaching, I became even more aware of the soul of language and had a true breakthrough in English. I'm genuinely ecstatic about your Spanish adventure! And, as you always remind us, embrace "Communication over perfection." 😇 ¡Que tengas un día lleno de sonrisas y alegría! 🌞

Your Spanish is awesome, Hadar!!! ❤ ¡Felicitaciones! All my love from La Plata, Argentina!

Muy bien Hadar !! Lo haces fenomenal !!! Why did you choose Barcelona and not other cities like Madrid or Valencia?

😍🥰🤩No puede ser Hadar!!!! Que bonito se te escucha el español!!

Estoy seguro que vas a lograrlo. Estoy orgulloso de ti Hadar. Yo eh aprendido mucho ingles gracias a ti, asi que te deseo mucha suerte! Saludos desde México. I'm sure you're gonna make it I'm proud of you Hadar. I've learned a lot of english because of you, so i wish you a lot of luck 😊 Greetings from Mexico

You are a great English teacher❤. I've learnt a lot from you. Happy to return the favor. Let me know if you need any help with Spanish

The way you're approaching the language is really interesting, Hadar, I find it clever. Your pronunciation is impressive, I hope you find a teacher that adapts to your necessity real soon. DeepL is a more accurate translator than Google's, I think it could be helpful. I'm Colombian but I live here in Barcelona as well. I like listening to these two RU-vid channels: AprendemosJuntos2030 & Teresa Baró, comunicación de éxito. They touch topics like communication, psychology, so they're really interesting. Teresa is from Barcelona, she has a perfect diction. It can be hard to understand but I think listening to them could help with getting familiar with the language sounds. I'm rooting for you and wishing you the best in your relocation process, God bless you. 💛

Hermosa e inteligente, me encanta tu seguridad, admiro mucho tu talento y energía que pones en todo lo que realizas...Un abrazo.

When I planned, 17 years ago, to move to Madrid I started studying Spanish, watching movies in Spanish, listening to Spanish songs and singing on. I remember that when I sit down on the airplane to Spain, a Spanish family with kids at my side was talking and I didn't understand anything! I thought: Where I'm going to do? It's hard to know this language. Anyway, I started to work in jeans store, yes, with my super poor Spanish, and the constant contact with Spanish speakers made me get the language in 2 months approximatively. Before I started to understand them, after I started to speak. Now I'm living in Dubai. English here is terrible. 80% of people are from any part of the world and you can listen to many accents and pronunciations, actually, in general, it's a terrible English. But now, it's weird, it's simpler for me to express and speak in English than to understand people and movie. Just the contrary 😀 Cuando decidí, hace 17 años, de mudarme a Madrid, empecé a estudiar español, viendo películas en español, escuchando canciones en español y cantando encima. Recuerdo, cuando estaba sentado en el avión para España, un familia española sentada justo a lado hablando y yo que no entendía nada de nada. Y pensé: ¿A dónde voy yo que no entiendo na'? De todas formas, empecé a trabajar en Madrid en una tienda de vaqueros, sí, sin hablar español, y ahí el constante contacto con hispanohablantes me hizo aprender el idioma en 2 meses. Primero empecé a entenderles y luego a hablar. Ahora que vivo en Dubái está pasando lo contrario. Aquí el 80% de la población es extranjera y hay un montón de acentos y pronunciaciones. En general el inglés aquí es terrible. Es muy raro. Aquí es mucho más fácil para mí hablar inglés que entender los demás y las películas. Exactamente lo contrario de lo que me pasó en España.

Estoy aprendiendo (gerundio simple) o he aprendido (perfecto) espanol 🤠

Excelente!! sigue y celebra tanto los errores como los logros. La frase sería así; " Hola amigos quiero hablarles hoy sobre como estoy aprendiendo español" . La pronunciación y fluidez está genial!!

My dearest Hadar. This experience will be great for you. What I love from you is that you teach English from your experience. Learning a language as adult, will give you an amazing tool to transfer that to your adult English learners. So, you will have an amazing opportunity to help adult English learners from where you have learned as adult.

I'm thrilled to know that Spanish is your goal. I think I can speak for everyone in here when I say that we want to be part of this journey. I am a native speaker, and when I think about what it would be like to learn Spanish, I feel like I am facing a giant because of the many conjugations. You're one of the best speech coaches I know, and I'm confident you'll master this new language.

Spanish is so hard Hadar. But I'm so excited to see you in your journey 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Im a native Spanish speaker and a English teacher but I would never imagine to teach Spanish as a second language, it is so complex. English is also my BFF 😂

Qué bien 😀. I love that you live in my country. Barcelona es genial.

Holaa, yo soy de España y he aprendido muchísimo a hablar inglés contigo. Mucho ánimo en Cataluña, ¡seguro que lo conseguirás!

Yo te puedo enseñar español y tu a mi inglés 😊😊

Love you Hadar! Never give up! Listening to music in Spanish would help you be relaxed and willing! ❤ Blessings, Everything is gonna be ok!

Dear Hadar, you’re such an inspiration! ❤ Words can’t describe how much I enjoy your relocation diaries. I’m on the verge of pretty serious change in my life as well, and I’m scared. Your diaries help me to stay grounded and have a positive outlook on everything that’s going on around me. I’m trying to be braver and trust that things will eventually fall into place, and your stories pretty much confirm the validity of such approach. If it works for you, I’m sure it’s gonna work for me 😂❤ One of the things I’m REALLY excited to witness is how your experience of being a beginner learner all over again will inspire newer strategies for you as a teacher of English. No matter the target language, I think the early struggles with an entirely new system of communication are pretty universal. I’m sure your Spanish journey is going to open so many doors, both creatively and personally. Keep us updated! And don’t forget to have fun along the way 😊❤

Hi Hadar!! I am so happy listening to you speaking Spanish!!! You are the best!! Felicitaciones!!

In a year's time you will speak fluent Spanish, some people have a natural talent, you definitely do.

Hello Hadar!!!! as a native Spanish speaker i need to tell you this... There aren't enough words to thank you for everything you've helped (me) us learn and improve every day. Maybe this is the right moment to give back at least a little, for all that you have done for us (for me), so I want to offer myself for anything you want or need in Spanish (from Colombia). At any time, let me know ❤

Learning a new language is so addicting! I simply LOVE it! Spanish is my favorite language!

I'm obsessed with the way you phrase how passionate you feel about learning and growing. It's all so heart-warming, honestly

Hello, there! What an amazing life journey you and your family are going through. You already know that you are my heroine, don't you? Well, I was speaking with my friend Romina (we are both Argentinians, but now she lives in Spain) about life and family... when I said to her: "Making the decision to join New Sound was the first decision in a chain of other important decisions in my life" Y:-)

Wow Hadar!!!! You are doing great!!! Love your Spanish, I am a Spanish speaker 👏👏👏

Jajajjajaja omg, Hadar you're amazing!!! 😊😊😊😊 you are the reason why I want to improve my English as much as possible 🎉🎉

Wow Hadar¡ Excelente español, you inspire by sharing your progress in this complicated language¡

Teacher Hadar, what a great surprise!. Profesora Hadar, me sorprende gratamente saber que está aprendiendo español.

A faster way to learn Spanish is to watch your favorite American movies, which have been translated into Spanish. As you know, in English dialogues, when you watch or hear them in Spanish, mental translation is not necessary. Everything is an association, you already know what is going to happen. This worked when I learned Portuguese. I think if there were more Spanish films translated into English, my English fluency would improve faster. I liked your video.

I’m from Mexico . I feeling like you with English speakers . I want to speak like Spanish lenguaje , but all the words are stock on my mind . I really understand you 😂 . But you Can do it Hadar. I love you 😘

You said the correct word: TIME,, is really difficult try to learn a language in a busy life, is not impossible, is not an excuse, but definitely is something that we have to solve every single to get the time to learn something new!! But im sure you will achieve your goal,, I recommend to you a Spanish podcast that you could enjoy and use for your practice : “en defensa propia, con erika de la vega”❤😘

Hi Hadar! I'm a native Spanish speaker in Argentina 🇦🇷 and I only got in contact with real English when I was already an adult. With that said, dough I don't speak Catalán nor neutral Spanish, however I'd love to help!

My problem with Spanish is that there are so many different variations of it, not even accents but also. It goes for English too but not to the same level. It you’re talking to someone from Puerto Rico, Dominican Republican, Chile, or wherever it’s almost like a different language.

You are great, all days in the morning I Take 30 minuts to enjoy your videos because in this moment I'm studing english and I can practice with you.

I understand very well this feeling that you mentioned in the video...when you need to say and express something and you can't find the way...😊is so frustated....happened to me so often in my English journey. You have a lot of resources to got this. Tu español será muy bueno como tu ingles.

Believe it or not, you sound more sensual when you speak Spanish. I'm sure you'll achieve your goals very soon. You're smart and you "tienes cojones" (we say in Spain about someone who is brave). I wish you the best in my country and, if you need help, here I am

LOL!!!! welcome to my world in the last 6 years... a lot of smiles, and yes, yes, yes... walking faster to the elevator!!!

I admire your dedication and your effort to learn a new language. 😊 Let me know when you'll switch to learning Italian. I'll be happy to be your language partner! 😉😁

Your spanish sounds very good. You are going to make it for sure. Your awesome and I love learning English with Your videos. Saludos desde ciudad de México

Saludos desde Mexicali, Mexico Your spanish sounds good! Keep going! I understand everything you said

Catalan and Spanish share 80% of the grammar and vocabulary share a lot Latin rooted vocab! I’m sure that as your learn Spanish and if you get immersed in Catalan, learning it will be a piece of cake!

Hi Hadar. When I hear you pronounce some Spanish words, it seems how if you had always spoken Spanish. I wish you and your family good life in Barcelona

Well, now I think you will understand us who want to learn another language since it is very difficult to ger the exact pronunciation.😅 Finally, I believe that if the other person gets the message you want to give, it is enough. Yo te entendí perfectamente, sigue adelante.

Seeing someone going through the process of learning a language is always fascinating to me. It's like seeing someone going from speaking like a child to getting to know their full grown personalities. I hope to see your progress in future videos!

Author Rojas Contreras describes translation as an Arithmatic of Loss. You say you are doing your best to want to learn but, she says there is gutteral emotion in the space between the perception and production of language. The sights and sounds of the life you left behind must be bridged to learn Spanish and many things left unsaid. Arrieros somos, y en el camino andamos.

Felicidades Hadar!! Lo estas haciendo increible!! Un poco diferente de tu tono de voz en Inglés pero igual de hermosa..😊😊

Excelente que estés aprendiendo español. Muy buena pronunciación, ahora a pulir la gramática. En lugar de decir estoy aprendido español debe ser: estoy aprendiendo español. Sigue con el buen trabajo Hadar!

Hadar, eres fantástica 😊 Pronuncias el español muy bien. Para traducir es mejor DeepL translator que el de Google

Do you notice the difference between Spanish from Spain and any other Latin American country?...

Well I hope that experience helps you a lot to understand many of your students that literally are learning a new language without being exposed to it. You know the shyness frustration feel less, etc but all of that will pass you will pass bad experiences (lucky you you are learning a language where people are friendly not like the English language where its culture is not that warmth to be open to others) but with the years all of that will pass and will communicate in the new language.

Dear. HADDAR, now you are on my shoes, and I know you will over come it, my best wishes❤

I'm also learning Spanish

if my English teacher would have been as beautiful as you I would never have missed a day of school

What a nice surprise!!!! Go Hadar!!!!! Me encanta tu español. Saludos desde Cuba

¡Me encanta esta sección! Especialmente la del aprendizaje de un idioma nuevo. Es super útil y entretenido escuchar el paso a paso y las técnicas que utilizas. También me parece excelente que compartas tus historias como inmigrante en un país donde no hablan tu idioma materno. Gracias por compartir y éxitos!

Your talk about learning new language have motivated me in my English, you are inspiring person 💥

Wow, lo hablas bien, toca mejorar algunas cositas pero bien, se escucha diferente su voz. Felicitaciones.

I'm so proud for you,I think you are so intelligent and I feel great because you try to learn my native language

you could try a "Comprehensible input" approach .. ..

You should have gone to Colombia….🥹

I wish you to learn latin spanish (Latinoamericano)... please!!!!

La fonética del español es completamente diferente a la fonética del inglés, especialmente las vocales y algunas consonantes como la "r" y la "j", aunque la "j" no debería de ser difícil para hebreo parlantes ya que es un sonido común en el Hebreo, no así en el inglés

I felt in that way in early nineties. When i started with this language. Lot of things to Say and limited to express. I understand that ...

Tu historia ahora es parte de mi grupo de convesacion en Ingles los sabados. Todos somos imigrantes y hemos vivido esto que tu estas viviendo, sobre todo la parte de emigracion. Podras lograr hablar espanol muy pronto. Nosostros aprendemos ingles en Ohio, USA.

Why YOU Don't upload video about phonetics

Catalan is not step 5, its like spanish and french, different languages .I speak both

you can ask me anything if you have questions, happy to help with your Spanish

¡¡Lo lograrás!! Vamos , muy bien amiga 😸

Welcome to the world of your students, who are working to achieve a new language

Estás contando la historia de mi vida viviendo en Australia sabiendo hablar en el Myles de hecho muy bien pero sin saber hacer buenos comentarios o chistes como lo hago en mi propio lenguaje. Quiero ser tan cool como lo soy en español 🫠

Allí en Cataluña poco y mal español vas a aprender, son más de hablar su dialecto el catalán , también llamado catalufo.

I can help you with spanish, because I'm from Cuba

I love these videos! I feel like I can connect with you when you share your stories 🥰

Thank you for inspiring us. You're so adorable!

Your Spanish sound great. You have a natural voice in Spanish.

Jajaja Me sorprendí, me dije se parece a Hadar Ya cuando oí el inglés 'oh sí, es Hadar' jaja, que bueno

Any Spanish learning resources you recommend?

Pensé que ibas hablar en español en el video completo. Wow que mal

You are getting there... don't forget to have fun while you're learning

Hadar, if you understand Espanol, tu puedes pasar de pasivo a activo, cuando speak Espanol.

Muy bueno tu español. Felicitaciones y a seguir adelante!!

Hadar tranquila pronto nos darás lecciones de español. Si es de tu agrado te puedo ayudar con el Español.

estoy aprendiendo español, estoy aprendiendo inglés ❤

La 'cara' guapa de española ya la tienes, ahora te falta la 'lengua'. Bienvenida a la hermandad hispana.

Hadar, you are going to succeed !!! I'm sure 😘😘

Having the same attitude as you help us to learn speak English

Muy bien!!! Me ancanta escucharte en español!! 👏👏👏

I HAVE A BIG QUESTION!: Are you learning spanish using english as you "primary" language or are you learning in hebrew? Do you think there is a difference?

I ammire you so much dear Hadar. Your spanish is lovely
