Have you ever had a moment where you hit rock bottom and that was the moment where you said to yourself, "That's it. No more. From this moment I am going to change." Whether it was starting to eat healthy or working out or learning a language, whatever that is, I'm sure that every single person has had this experience in their lives. And this is exactly what happened to Monica when it comes to English. Monica had her dream interview scheduled and she prepared for 7 weeks for this interview. But she only prepared for it in her head. And the moment she started

speaking, she realized all the challenges that she was unable to overcome. In this conversation, Monica is going to tell you about the transformation that came right after that moment where she decided "No more. I am going to change." And she's going to talk about all the things that she did to be able to become a person who speaks English, who owns English, and who feels freedom in English. Her story is inspiring. It's about consistency. It's about believing in yourself and it's about becoming the person you want to become. This conversation is with Monica, my student, and I cannot wait to share it with you. Let's listen.

Hi Monica, how are you doing? I am doing so great. So excited to see you. So happy to be here. I'm so happy that you're here. Thank you so much for taking the time to come here and share your story and your experience learning, immersing, and falling in love in English. And I can't wait. Your story is so inspiring and I can't wait for our audience to listen to it. Thank you for having me and for you know, giving me the opportunity to be here in your channel. It's been kind of like a dream for me. So now I am here and it's great. Thank you.

It's It's It's great for all of us. I'm excited. So for those clearly most of the people watching this don't know you. The people in our community, they do. But for those who don't know you, would you like to share a little bit about who you are, where you live, what language you speak, and just a little bit to get to know you. Yes. So my name is Monica. I am originally from Colombia. I was born and raised there. And but I've been living here in France for the past 11 years now. So time flies and yeah, so I speak Spanish.

Spanish is my mother tongue. And I speak obviously French as well as I've been living here for so many time. And I started my English journey here with the program the different programs the different Hadar's programs 2 years ago. And it was mainly the first time in my life they that I started studying English for sure, you know, like for sure. you decided to take it seriously and to do the work. Yes. And especially I found here a good system that helped me getting there, you know, like speaking the way I do today. Which is incredible. So talk to me about French first. Okay? Of course we're here

to also talk about English, but I think any language learning journey is interesting. So you moved to you moved a place where French is spoken 11 years ago. And did you know any French back then? I used to be a French teacher when I was in Colombia. So probably you didn't know that. I know I did. Listen, I when I have finished high school, I started the universe I started the university in Colombia and I followed the modern language program. And at the time I needed to choose one language between French, English, or German and I chose French. I don't know why exactly. I don't remember why exactly, but I chose French.

Something told you that you might need it. Probably. And yeah, so I started my French journey at a time and after finishing my studies, I my first job was French teacher. And I taught English for English French, sorry, for 5 years in Alliance Française in Bogota in Colombia. And after all those years working there, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and I decided to see what was possible for me as a professional and also as an individual. And I decided to relocate here in France in order to pursue a master's degree in communications and marketing that I successfully finished in 20 16. So 10 years ago.

French? All in French, yes, with French speakers, with French colleagues and everything. And after that, I Yeah, I've been evolving in a in the corporate world, mainly in automotive industry. So for 7 years I worked in automotive industry and in 2023, everything changed in my mind. And I started to feel less aligned with this final goal to sell cars, you know. So I wanted something bigger. I wanted something meaningful, something you know, something that I had a burning desire to make an impact in the world and to make my voice matter and to work for people or for the planet or for something different. And I started while working my current job at the time, I

started applying for jobs in United Nations. As you know. Wait, can before we move on, I want to talk about that feeling, right? Like because I think a lot of people can relate to that feeling of I need to do something different. Was something triggered? Was it triggered by something or did something happen that you started reflecting on that? Was it the result of COVID? Like cuz I remember this time was you know, after COVID and I don't know. So what was it that you that made you start feeling anxious or like you want to change? It was a couple of things. First, I became a mom in 2022. And I guess when we deliver a baby, our brain changed. I don't know why, but it's weird.

And also another trigger was that I was working for a big group, an international group called Emil Frey, different brands, different things. And the French brand was underperforming for years. So this big group decided to sell the car dealerships when I was working for to another more local group, a more you know, smaller group. And I came to realize that the values of this new group wasn't the same as the other one. So the values and the way of work was really different and it was kind of Yeah, I couldn't find my place. I couldn't find my Yeah, it was something like that.

Like you felt like it's not right for me and then you started asking yourself bigger questions because you were moved around like having a child and then, you know, shifting in a way companies, not really, but still. And then Yeah, and then you started asking those deeper questions which made you decide to change. You love it. Okay. Yes. Totally. So Yeah, so you started dreaming bigger and doing bigger things. And what happened then?

Turning point here for my English journey. Because I started applying for United Nations work and yeah, different applications, different job positions, always aligned with I wanted to do and for the background I had. So communications marketing. And after a lot of rejections, I finally was invited to complete a written test in English. That I successfully completed because I was called for a job interview with a panel. And it was in English. And I my relationship with English before that was pretty comfortable, you know, because I didn't need English really in my life. I was working and evolving in a French environment. I was speaking Spanish with my family, friends, my daughter.

So I don't I didn't need English in my life. But at that moment and yes, when I was traveling for example, I was feeling comfortable because I was able to ask for directions or for you know, order food Yeah, it's not like you didn't know English. Yeah. Yeah, I had a little background, but I was feeling like yeah, I speak English. So I was invited to this job interview, really important. It was a managerial position that I could completely like take on. And I was preparing. It was a CBI question. It was a CBI interview. So a competency-based interview. I needed to prepare examples of things I was doing in the I have completed in the past to apply for this job position. So, I was

preparing things, but then I was preparing like writing and a concepts in my mind. I will say that and that. And yes, and I just made capital mistake and it was like a never open my mouth to prepare nothing. Wow. So, I was you know the interview would never make that mistake ever. Ever in my life. No. So, you were preparing in your head. In your head, you were like you know, doing amazing, nailing this job interview. But not with your mouth.

Confident. I was confident. I was like, "I got that." Yeah. I love it. Yeah. So, I was like all of you watching this that if you need to go take a job interview, then make sure you prepare properly and actually use your mouth when you prepare. And you record yourself and you repeat out loud and you try to find a way to say words because sometimes you know the word very well. You know, you know the meaning, everything in your head, but when you have to pronounce it like the Yeah. So, what happened? What happened in the interview? So, I remember myself opening my computer and like the three people

popping up in my computer and the woman leading the interview was like, "Yes, hello Monica. How are you?" And I was like froze because you know, all these little social codes like, "Uh thank you for having me." or "Uh it's an honor to meet you." things like that. I hadn't any social code in English. Any any. So, I remember I was like, "Yeah, thank you. Hello." Uh you know, really the basic words.

Let alone the questions of the interview. I was trying to figure out how to put in my mouth the concepts I was be I being preparing for weeks because I was informed about the interview with 7 weeks before the interview. So, I had time to prepare. And I remember I had a conversation with you before. I know. It was for the other one with United Nations. No, sorry. So, it was the first one. And yeah, so I remember I didn't have the codes, nothing. And um So, I couldn't like find the words in my mouth. One third one people of the panel, I couldn't understand what he was saying. He was a strong accent and I couldn't even understand what he was saying.

So, it was pretty hard time. Super frustrating. I remember closing my computer and I remember like I was collapsing on my knees crying my eyes out and promising myself I will I would study English every single day of my life until became fluent. It was so hard, Hadar. It was a moment like I saw and I let this one in a life opportunity, this you know, this golden opportunity slip through my fingers. I felt that. Mhm. So, it was the turning point. And the day body. I feel it. This is kind of like Yeah, it's it's we know who we are and what we're capable of doing. And then when English doesn't live up to it, even

though you know it in your head, right? It doesn't represent who you are. It doesn't represent uh your level even of English and definitely your expertise and knowledge and personality, then it's it's really heartbreaking. And then a lot of times to make a big change, you do need an event like that. A lot of times when people become very committed, I often see that something happens when they say to themselves, "No." Like, "No more." No way. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. So, after that, um I started trying to be in contact with English. So, I was like mainly listening to podcast, different podcast. So, um we met together through your podcast. Because I was listening to the Lex English

podcast and he interviewed you one day and I was listening to your voice and I listening to your path, you know, to your always all the things you were going through in New York as an actress, etc. It was like, "Oh my god, that's amazing. I can understand everything what she's saying." And I fell in love with your voice, you know, with the way you speak so clear. And I was thinking like I would like to speak with her one day. Like the same. And I started following you. I cut all the other podcast I was listening to. I cut all the YouTube channels and I keep one thing, your podcast, your social media, your everything.

Um so, it was summer 2023 and at the very beginning of 2024, you opened doors to join Beyond through um a start strong challenge. So, I did the 7 days and then I joined. Um but um up until that moment, I was being so passive, you know, like even though I had I promised myself to study English, I couldn't, you know? I hadn't a system or someone saying me do that and that. You know, like nothing. So, I was being very passive and when I was listening to the podcast and watching TV, etc., I felt like I was doing a lot. So, why do you think that is though? Why do you think we humans do that? Like, you know, like

we do something and then we stay passive. Like, we don't really push ourselves to do things and then we settle for something like just listening, which is good, but clearly not enough. Um so, what was kind of like holding you back from doing the next thing? Was it lack of knowledge? Like, you didn't know what your next steps were? Or was it fear? What was it? Laziness? I guess yeah, a mix of everything. A mix of everything. Ignorance, I guess, is the first one. Didn't know how what to do and how. And also life runs so fast, you know? We are always so busy. We are always um thinking about what's next and somehow

we have some habits in our day life that are established already established and we always and we usually don't make room for new things that are really important for us. And I learned that through meditation. That is a another skill I learned here in your community. I start meditate. I start to being part of the 5:00 a.m. club, going to the gym every single day at 5:00 a.m. and doing things like that because I understood how habits shape how habits shape, sorry, my life and the person I embody and the person I would like to embody every single day.

You know, not speaking about my goal, but the person I am every single day at 5:00 a.m. and the person who goes asleep the same day. Mhm. Who I want to be each day, you know? And I learned that here. So, um So, yes, in terms of English, I started to make yeah, to make room in my daily life to learn English, to make a little step 1% the 1% rule that you explained very well. And I am applying this 1% rule for English and for so many things. Yeah. So many. The 1% rule for people who don't know, this is not my rule. I learned it.

Um it's it's this concept that what can you do every day to improve by 1%? So, when you think about it, 1% is not a lot and you can think of, "Okay, I can just you know, just like practice it one more time." Or learn something new. Or do it a little faster. Or do it a little slower. Or like something very small that helps you improve what it is that you're working on. In our case, English or building habits or um anything that is related to personal development. And even though it doesn't feel like a lot over time, it becomes exponential growth. Right? Cuz 1% and then 1% more the next day and the next day. So, the idea is like not to think of huge big changes, which is

something that we tend to resist and procrastinate, but do something very small every single day and then you see the impact and the results over time. And based on what you're sharing, you know, you go to the gym consistently. You wake up at 5:00 a.m. You meditate. And if you want, you can talk about that a little bit more. You practice English consistently. So, all of these things are the result of building those strong habits and wanting to improve little by little without, you know, like not thinking like you need to become a different person overnight. Um So, that's beautiful. That's incredible.

Um how are you different today than who you were 2 years ago? That's so beautiful. It's a beautiful question because I feel I'm really different. I embody the person who speaks English. I embody the person is consistent with a lot of things and where I Yeah, whenever I would like to do something, I try to keep going. But I couldn't be this way alone, you know, because sometimes we are like, "Okay, I will do that." But when you have people who celebrate things with you that happens just for you, and you feel that is so fear, it's so rewarding, and you feel so well.

I met here in your community so many people who are always cheering me up whatever it takes. Like, I learn a word. Wow, you're amazing. You can do it. You can learn two words now. And it's like, "Okay, I'm feeling this energy every single day." So, I feel like Right, like you want to learn Yeah. And the opposite is true as well. When someone has a big goal or a little goal, I am I feel this happiness and I because I embody this person who is making efforts and who is seeing results little by little. So, yes, I couldn't be here

today if I was alone, let's say. I like it's not impossible to master a language and to be expressive in a language on your own. It's not impossible. But I think it's just I mean, why if you can do it with in community, right? Like with guidance. Language is meant to be spoken with other people, not on your own. And there is a give and take. It's reciprocal. So, this is why you have to have people around you to connect, to practice, to make English the tool and not just the goal, right? And I think when that happens something opens up. Talk to me about when I asked you, "Who are you?" you said, "I'm a person who speaks English."

What is it about how you speak English? Maybe if you can describe it physically, if you can describe it emotionally. Like, what is it about how you speak now practically than how you spoke before? What does it mean to speak English? A person who speaks English. Yeah, I will start to speak about new sound. Okay. Because And I would like to start by another angle, but right now I feel this is a good moment. And when we start the new sound program, there is one module about mindset. And in the mindset module, we are invited by you to

set goals. So, the 90-day goal, the 1-year goal, and the 5-year goal. And so, I set my goals when I was taking revising my notes to prepare this interview, I came to realize that my 90-day goal was to master diphthongs or something like that. And my 1-year goal was to be here sharing my story about new sound and my transformation in new No way. Yeah. But I forgot about that, you know, and when my when I was breathing, I was like, "Oh my god, I am feeling now. Yeah, I know, me too. Yes. And my 5-year goal was to speak in public, to deliver a as I was obsessed, you know, with working in the United Nations, I set the goal to speak in public, to deliver a really important

thing, you know, in front of a lot of important people or something like that. And I was imagining myself speaking in a TED Talk or in something related with the United Nations. And when I say I speak in English, I'm I'm thinking about that, and I am thinking about sharing things, you know, like always sharing, caring, conveying things, making my voice matter for the people. I'm thinking about that when I think I speak English. And I don't know why it's not the same for French or Spanish. English, and it's probably because it's the universal language where you can touch more much more people. And that much people speak, and yeah, I guess it's the reason why.

Um so, yes. Uh it's it's I think about that when I think I embody the person who speaks in English. Wow. And I see that I completely see that in the community. How generous you are, you know, like what you bring to the community, what you share, um how you show up. I think you are embodying not just who you are as an English speaker, but really your purpose in the world, which is, you know, I feel like my purpose is to serve, right? Like one of my core values is to serve, and I feel like you share the same value because from the moment you said, "I

feel like I had a bigger purpose than working in for this company." And language is the key. Is the tool to do that. And I think English is because for exactly for the reasons that you said, you really reach more people that way. You have more impact. And I wish I hope that someone listening to this is listening to these words and they understand that they have that ability to and the power to make impact or to have impact with words only, right? Like and with just like being able to say what you think or to share what you know even if it's just to listen and to hold space and to celebrate others. I mean, you know, like think of how in our community

people the way we celebrate each other and the way we hold space for each other. I think this is what makes it so powerful and how we feel meaningful as individuals inside this community. So. Yes, totally. Yeah. Totally. So, in terms of your English journey, just to kind of like understand the timeline or explain the timeline. You joined Beyond in 2024. You still need to talk about the change in your habits and your practice methods. And then you joined New Sound. When was it? At the end of 2024? No, it was in spring 2024. So, it was like a three or three Yeah, right after. And I decided to join New Sound because being in Beyond was like,

"Okay, I have my fellow Beyond-ers speaking about things like diphthongs, like clusters." And I was like, "Okay, what is this?" And I had for example, I remember the coach giving me a feedback on my speaking. And it was like, "Okay, you have to work in the diphthong O." And I was like, "Okay, diphthong O. But what is a diphthong?" So, you know, it's so I hadn't this concept really clear in my mind. And everything seems to Everyone seems to get everything really clear. And also most of the people being in Beyond had already taken the New Sound course. So, they always uh were like, "Yeah, this is a transformative experience. You have to take it."

Um yeah, you have to do it. So, I decided to do so. So, just to clarify, Beyond is our English practice community, right? Where we practice and speak and connect. And there are English classes, but we don't always, you know, like we talk about pronunciation, but New Sound is the kind of like the transformative pronunciation program where we dive deep into every single sound. And that is where you feel like you have um you have made a significant change in how you think and how you speak because of the mindset module, but also because of sounds. So, when you when I was reading the things that you wrote before the interview, you said "What was most insightful for me was learning about

sounds that I didn't have in my first language." Right? So, talk to me about that, and why do you think it's important? I love that because in English, we have for example, in the Spanish which is my mother tongue, we have five vowels. And in English, we have also five vowels that we write, and in French as well. But we have 16 vowels that we can pronounce with the same like vowel the same letter. Yes. And in French, it's the same. In French, we have also 16. So, I learned things here in New Sound that serve serves me today as a French teacher

um to apply and to understand better in the French language as well. So, in New Sound, what I was expecting to find when I joined the course was like that, like the understand the granularity of the sounds of the English sounds, but also um how to produce the sounds like physically, you know? Because I had been studying English for so many years, and no one never had explained to me how to articulate sounds, how to put my tongue, my lips, my jaw, everything. Never. So, here I learned the sound, like the nature of the sound, how articulate the sound. And then and most importantly how to put all the sound together because there is another module I loved and it was the prosody module.

Yes, so game changer the prosody module was like mindset and prosody were my favorite. All right, love And in prosody module you learn rhythm, pitch and through a lot of exercise of repetition and if you take the new sound course you have to be willing and able to repeat a lot and to be alone like don't learn and be repeating I discovered sounds in French I discovered sounds for example the sound Mhm. that I was mispronouncing in French for I don't know how many time how much time. Oh, interesting. I was unable to produce the sound voiced. Yeah. Because it doesn't exist in Spanish and I was and I wasn't even able to hear this sound. Exactly, right? I think that's the problem cuz

you could make it. It's like it's sound, right? It's not that you couldn't it's just that it's it's not used so therefore the brain is like I don't need this. I don't need to pay attention to it and this is why we misplace, replace or de-voice sounds. Um so you learned it in English and then you realized that you were that you needed for French as well. Yes. Yeah. Yes, that and also for example the r sound the r I was mispronouncing r sound in English for all my life. And I did thou- thousand of thousands of exercises. Hundreds as well. Thousands. Thousands, thousands, thousands of exercises to

to get there to get to the r sound which so difficult for me. I love it that you say be prepared to repeat because I think that is the one element that most programs kind of like overlook. Not just pronunciation but also all English programs. You know I study Spanish now and now like when I learn something and my teacher teaches me something and then she moves on to the next thing and I'm like wait a minute. I have to say it out loud otherwise I will not remember it and if I don't do it with her I have to do it after and I realize it is so easy to forget but if I say it really like I need to say it at least 10 times for the brain to be like okay got it for the

mouth and the brain and eyes to connect. Like it's we're not robots. We can't receive new information and use it immediately. Right? Those repetitions are crucial which is something that I definitely teach you in new sound and also in beyond in the classes, right? But I think it's it's something that is so incredibly important and often you know people don't take don't understand the importance of it when teaching or when learning. Yeah. I'm glad that Yeah, but it's normal because we have the habit to have a kind of education that is completely in this you know like the teacher is teaching and I'm listening okay I'm noting and that's

all. That's it. Yeah. You have because when you have a class with 20, 30, 40 students you can't have them repeat or have conversations and it's not practical for the system, right? And they have to pass exams and to pass exams there needs to be perfection yes or no black and white but in reality in English you can say things in so many different ways but they don't teach you that because it doesn't align with the system and the grading system and what's easy for you know like to hold a class especially when you learn English as a second language as in high school or in school. So like this has infiltrated our brains and this is the is kind of like the

framework of how language is needs to be taught but when you think of how babies acquire a new language it's just repetition, right? Like repetition of sounds of words saying something incorrectly incorrectly until it gets corrected cuz the brain understands it. So how come we're not learning the way we learn our first language, you know, other languages as well. So I think this is what's so important to remember. Uh why do you think why do you think pronunciation is important not just for clarity but for fluency as well? I will I start with an example.

Give me an example. You know I stopped to when I was um learning with learning at the because I'm still learning but at the very beginning I was always hoping that the person I was speaking with like got what I want to say get I was hoping like praying I hope he will understand or she will understand what I am what do you want to say uh because I was pronouncing like you know like yeah I guess this way. So now I feel one of the main shifts was yeah clarity but also this okay what I am doing what I am saying I am pronouncing the good way. I am sure. I am pronouncing out loud.

You are in ownership. You are in control of what comes out of your mouth. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. So that's the main thing. Yeah. And that has that increased your confidence as well? Yes. Yes, definitely. Cuz it all interacts, right? Like if you feel more confident you're going to be more fluent cuz your brain is not busy thinking about all the things that are not working well. And I also did you feel it happens with some students that you feel less tension in your mouth when you pronounce things in a in an optimal way versus how it used to be? I'm not sure like I'm not sure how it was for you but Yes, it was something that changed also

in my mouth because in the new sound program and also in beyond we have a lot of tongue exercises and for example when I was working for my r sound I had so many pains in my tongue afterwards and I was feeling good but because I was working like when you go to the gym you lift weights and at the end you have pains and you are So it was the same and now I feel when I when for example right now I am speaking I don't have pains uh but in the past with the repetition work I did have so many pains in my tongue but with the exercise with the daily exercises um your tongue is getting muscle so yes, I feel it was part of the work. Exactly. Just like you work

out any other muscle you got to work out your tongue and at the beginning it could be tense but then it becomes effortless because it you know like it's a lot more um in shape in a way. Yeah. So tell me about your teaching cuz you teach French, right? Yes. Okay. Tell me what you love about it first. Okay, so I will continue my story line. So I in 2023 I quit the automotive industry I started improving my English I had time I joined your program I started meeting fantastic people etc. So I continued applied for so many United Nations jobs I had another interview at the beginning of 2025 and this was the time we had a conversation when you told me you got this you can do it you have the

level etc. So I did the job interview and still today I don't have an answer if it's negative or positive and it's United Nations you know that can't that can happen. Um but yes, so I continued this path but I have come to real- I have come to realize that it was really hard and I need to pay bills at some point because I was living from my economies. Um and I started at the in the middle of 2025 I had a conversation with a an old French in Colombia who worked with me in Alliance Française um at the time and she told me like yeah you have to be dependent you have to

she started to putting me to pushing me forward to being independent and to become independent in some way. She doesn't was she wasn't really a specific about French teaching but something and I was like yeah why not? Why not? Why to be all my life an employee? I can do something. And then it was my cousin who is much more like my brother he came from Colombia to do something here and we and he asked me what do you want to do? What

do you what are you good at? And I was like okay I'm good at French I have a thorough knowledge of the French language. I am very good at communications and marketing I love what I do and recently I fell in love with phonetics and the you know the all this uh international phonetics alphabet and all this new knowledge I was acquiring in English and also in French. Uh so we made a cocktail of these three things and I decided to restart um teaching French.

Um since then I have I've been so I have been teaching French for a couple of months you know like six or seven months with my friend from Colombia who has a company. Um she gave me some students in Canada, especially in Canada, and I started to I started feeling again myself because I am helping people pass exams. I am being part of the success of these people having new stories to tell with the language because they are speaking in French right now. So, I'm so happy to see them uh success in your in their life. So, yes, I feel I found something that gives me professional fulfillment and personal fulfillment right now.

That is so beautiful. First of all, because it's it's it's interesting to see that journey that you went through as you just explained it. And you're such a good storyteller, by the way, Monica. I have to tell you. But really, it's it you know, and it's good as a teacher to be able to explain things through stories. Um, but I think that your personal growth and professional development journey, you know, it's it's just so inspiring how you kept pushing yourself and doing more than you thought was possible and kind of like you made the

container bigger and bigger until this is where you are today. And I think, you know, finding the passion for languages and for French and for sounds and for community and for pr- service, right? Which is what you do with your students. I think this is definitely um beautiful essence, like such a beautiful place to be in. And so, so inspiring. Um And I am also doing some videos um explaining sounds in French. Um, and I started in French because I was inspired by your Instagram. Um, and I started only in French. But one day, I put a video in English explaining

sounds in French. And it was like I had thousands of views. And it was like, "Okay, I will try that." And it's been Amazing. Yeah, it's been two weeks. So, now it's both English and French and pronunciation. Oh, this is so beautiful. We're going to link to your accounts uh social media so much. Yeah. And because I'm sure there are a lot of people watching.

Yeah, where can they find you? French sounds beautiful. Yes. That is so beautiful. I'm going to definitely I need to finish um Spanish first, and then I'll move on to French. So. Okay. Um, Monica, before we wrap up, first of all, thank you so much for the time and the energy and, you know, like being open and vulnerable. Um What would you say to someone who has who is right now where you have been, right? Like when you where you have been or where you were in 2023?

Um, and they don't know what to do, and they feel this frustration of things not working for them in English. What would you tell them? Wow, it's a it's You know, it's kind of super responsible stability here. You're kidding me right now. I would say start. So, at some point, uh even if it's, you know, sometimes we are postponing things to Monday, to next month, to next year. Start today, you know? Like even if it's Friday at at 10:00 p.m., start doing something really little for your English. And um I would like to say as well that the New Sound program is the place to be if you want to understand the granularity of the English sounds

and put them into the matrix of the English speaking with prosody, pitch, rhythm, and also your intention, your emotion, how to express yourself. And all of that is made to help you understand the process and to help you become and discover the best English speaker that you can be. So, I would say something like that. I love it. It's perfect. That's perfect. Monica, what is something that you are excited about these days?

Apart from French and English, what is something different that you are excited about? I am exciting about becoming um someone who is independent, who don't who doesn't work uh 9:00 to 5:00. I'm so excited about that. It's something I am discovering. I am loving. Um, I am having so many time to do the things I would like to do and to work on things I would like to work on. I have time for my daughter. I have time for me. Uh that's exciting, really exciting at the moment. I am exciting um I'm really excited about the possibility to meet you and my fellow Beyonders in a meet up, hopefully.

It will happen. Um, yeah, I met Hadar so many invaluable people here. The people that I love, you included, you know? Like it's like um it's a feeling, you know?
