Hey， it‘s Hadar and this is the Accent’s Way。

嘿，我是哈達爾，這裡是 the Accent‘s Way。

Today I want to talk about the five elements that helped me become a confident and fluent speaker。

今天我想談談幫助我成為一個自信流利的演說家的五個要素。

And I’m going to invite you to join my challenge that is going to take you out of your comfort zone and help you become a fluent and confident speaker as well。

我將邀請你加入我的挑戰，它將帶你走出你的舒適區，並幫助你成為一個流利和自信的演說家。

When I moved to New York when I was 20 I had a fairly strong accent and my level of English was let‘s say intermediate。

當我20歲搬到紐約時，我的口音很重，我的英語水平可以說是中等。

I could express myself and conduct basic conversations but I couldn’t go into deeper conversations without feeling self-conscious or insecure。

我可以表達自己，進行基本的對話，但如果沒有自我意識或沒有安全感，我就無法進入更深層次的對話。

And when I‘m looking back I’m trying to detect the few elements that really helped me become a confident speaker doing what I‘m doing right now。

當我回頭看的時候，我試著找出一些因素，這些因素真的幫助我成為一個自信的演講者，讓我做我現在正在做的事情。

That is teaching American pronunciation， coaching English。

那就是教美式發音，教英語。

And I discovered five things， five things that were essential in helping me become who I’m today。

我發現了五件事，這五件事對幫助我成為今天的我至關重要。

Now the first one was immersion。

第一個是浸入式學習。

I immerse myself in an English-speaking environment。

我沉浸在一個說英語的環境中。

I surrounded myself with English。

我讓自己進入英語環境中。

Now I know this may not be an option for many of you。

我知道這對你們很多人來說可能不是一個選擇。

This is why you need to join my challenge to discover how to do that when you‘re not living in an English-speaking country。

這就是為什麼你需要加入我的挑戰，去發現當你生活在一個不是說英語的國家時如何做到這一點。

But for me， that was the one thing that really helped me own it eventually。

但對我來說，這是唯一真正幫助我最終擁有它的東西。

I surrounded myself mostly with English。

我讓自己進入英語環境中。

I watched television， I read books， I read the newspaper， I had American friends and I was working in English。

我看電視，看書，看報紙，我有美國朋友，我用英語工作。

So all I did was speak English， listen to English。

所以我所做的就是說英語、聽英語。

I lived English。

我的一起都有英語。

The second thing is methodology。

第二件事是方法論。

The method and the technique of what I’m doing today and actually what I‘m teaching today。

今天我要講的就是方法和技巧。

I learned it myself when I was an acting school we had speech classes。

我在表演學校的時候學的我們有演講課。

In there， we broke down English language into sounds and melodies， and elements of speech。

在那裡，我們把英語分解成聲音、旋律和語言元素。

That when you understand every single one of them separately it’s a lot easier。

當你分別理解每一個部分的時候會容易得多。

And you‘re so much more in control when you put it all back together。

當你把一切重新拼湊起來的時候，你就能更好地掌控一切了。

So for me， it wasn’t about what I learned in school anymore or what I thought I was hearing。

所以對我來說，這不再是我在學校學到的或者我以為我聽到了什麼。

It was clear and I had an answer for everything。

一切都很清楚，我對一切都有了答案。

And I knew what my weaknesses and strengths are。

我知道我的缺點和優點是什麼。

And I knew what to focus on。

我知道該關注什麼。

And what to let go of。

以及該放棄什麼。

The third thing was challenging myself。

第三件事是挑戰自己。

Every situation that made me feel uncomfortable， every situation that I was intimidated by I jumped on it。

每一個讓我感到不舒服的情況，每一個讓我感到害怕的情況，我都會咬牙而上。

I took it。

我會抓住任何機會。

I took any speaking opportunity， I took any part that was challenging。

我抓住任何演講的機會，參加任何有挑戰性的環節。

I mean at the end of my second year I played Lady Macbeth in a Scottish accent。

我的意思是，在我第二年結束時，我用蘇格蘭口音扮演了麥克白夫人。

So think about it two years before， I had a foreign accent and I was self-conscious about my English and there I was getting this offer to play a role， a Shakespearean role in a Scottish accent。

回想一下，兩年前我還帶著外國口音，我對自己的英語很自卑，那時我得到了一個角色的邀請，一個帶蘇格蘭口音的莎士比亞角色。

I was terrified about it。

我很害怕。

I freaked out but you know what。

我嚇壞了，但你知道嗎。

I worked hard。

我非常努力。

I challenged myself。

我挑戰了自己。

And I was actually really good at it。

我真的很擅長這個。

The fourth thing is practice。

第四件事是練習。

I practice。

練習。

I did the work。

我做了很多功課。

So first I had my assignments from school。

首先我收到了學校的作業。

I had top practice sounds。

我有最好的聲音練習。

So I would drill the words， repeat words and phrases and sentences with the same sounds。

所以我會操練單詞，重複相同發音的單詞、短語和句子。

I would take my speech book and sit and read it aloud and record myself with a tape recorder and play it and listen to it and play it again。

我會拿著我的演講書，坐下來大聲朗讀，用錄音機錄下來，播放，聽，再播放。

And repeat it again and again。

一遍又一遍地重複。

Every single day。

每天都是如此。

I‘m lying cuz it wasn’t every day but I was supposed to do it every day。

我在撒謊，因為我沒有每天都這樣，但我應該每天都這樣。

Don‘t tell my speech teacher。

不要告訴我的演講老師。

Anyway， but I did it a lot and I felt the change and I felt the difference immediately。

總之，我做了很多次，我感覺到了改變，我立刻感覺到了不同。

And then I leveraged situations into practice opportunities。

然後我把各種情況轉化為實踐的機會。

So for example， if I watch television， I would speak back to it。

比如，如果我看電視，我會對著電視說話。

I used to hear people and I would repeat them right after I would echo them。

我以前聽別人說話的時候，會在重複之後馬上重複一遍。

I would read aloud whenever I could。

只要有機會，我就會大聲朗讀。

I would memorize texts and monologues from movie scenes and television series。

會背電影和電視劇中的文字和獨白。

And I would just go over it in my head and I would practice and practice and practice。

我會在腦子裡翻來覆去地想然後練習，練習，再練習。

I loved it。

我喜歡這樣。

I enjoyed it because every time I did it I felt a little better than I did before。

我喜歡這樣做，因為每次我都感覺比以前好一點。

And I felt that I’m actually making a change。

我覺得我正在做出改變。

Because those small steps that you take they empower you。

因為你採取的那些小步驟會給你力量。

And when you feel empowered you feel capable and you feel that you can actually make a change。

當你感到被賦予力量時，你就會覺得自己有能力，你就會覺得自己真的可以做出改變。

And that‘s the one thing you need to remember。

這是你需要記住的一點。

When you know that you can do it you can do it。

當你知道你能做到的時候，你就能做到。

If you feel that you can’t do it and it‘s too difficult then it’s going to be really hard to get to that breakthrough。

如果你覺得你做不到，這太難了，那麼你就很難取得突破。

The last thing is communication。

最後一點是溝通。

I would talk a lot even if I didn‘t want to talk， even if I didn’t feel comfortable talking I talked。

即使我不想說話，我也會說很多話，即使我覺得說話不舒服，我也會說。

I talked with people， I talk to people。

我和人們交談。

I would take any speaking opportunity that I could。

我會抓住任何能說話的機會。

I used to wait tables so I remember that the introduction and talking about the specials was a thing for me。

我以前在餐廳當服務員，所以我記得我對餐廳的介紹和特色菜的談論很感興趣。

Because it was an opportunity to practice and I would make a big deal out of it in a friendly and fun way。

因為這是一個練習的機會，我會用一種友好而有趣的方式把它做成一件大事。

And I saw what worked and what didn‘t work。

我看到了什麼有用，什麼沒用。

What activated people， what helped people connect to me。

什麼激活了人們，什麼幫助人們與我聯絡起來。

What motivated people to ask questions and I took all this information and used it again and again every time I communicated。

是什麼激勵人們問問題我收集了所有這些資訊並在每次交流時一次又一次地使用它。

And when I moved back to Israel and I had less opportunities to communicate in English。

當我搬回以色列時，我很少有機會用英語交流。

I mean there’s a certain amount of tourists that come into the city a year。

我的意思是，每年有一定數量的遊客來到這個城市。

Then that‘s when I started teaching and let me tell you this。

那就是我開始教書的時候，讓我告訴你。

Teaching was also a game changer for me because that’s when I understood everything clearly。

教學對我來說也是一個改變，因為那時我明白了一切。

Because to explain something in a clear way you have to be very clear about it in your head and I think that‘s what made the difference for me。

因為要想清楚地解釋一件事，你必須在頭腦中對它非常清楚，我認為這就是讓我與眾不同的原因。

And of course， speaking in English and teaching in English helped me become the speaker that I am today。

當然，用英語演講和用英語教學幫助我成為了今天的演講者。

So that’s it。

就是這樣。

These were the five elements that helped me become a confident and fluent speaker。
