I'm a urdu speaker from Pakistan I'm so grateful to you for this😍❤
This girl scares me!!! She made a full video tackling the Brazilians common mispronunciations and nailed it!! And now this one ☝️ woow so talented!!!
Hope everyone gets better in English soon! Let's keep practicing!
Hadar ,u did a great job ! I am Urdu speaker from Pakistan . I applaud your efforts .
Have been watching pronunciation videos this whole week but none of them address the problems with indian/Pakistani English as well as you do. For instance, I could never quite understand why my th sounded different from a native speaker's th until you told that I was breaking the air too early. Also, I refuse to believe you don't know urdu because those sounds were AUTHENTIC urdu sounds. Thanks for the video
Hindi speaker from India , I am your great fan. I love your facial expressions and the confident omg 😍.
As a L1 हिंदी hindi speakers, we are delighted to watch your classes. Thanks Hadar Ma'm 🙏
Hey Hadar!! Jyoti here. This is a valuable lesson. My first language is Hindi and this video is a great help to me. God bless you and keep you!❤️
wow, I'd never guess you were a non-native speaker! I'm currently teaching ESL online to a Hindi speaker
Hey Hadar!! Thank you for including Urdu speakers ❤️ much love and appreciation!!
Thank you for having this video. My 3rd language is Hindi and it's really difficult. But I will try to speak Hindi as well as English.
Hey Hadar, Thank you so much for making this video. As a Hindi speaker I can relate to everything you’ve mentioned in this video. The W/V sound is something that I’m still working on as it's a bit challenging for me to distinguish the two sounds while speaking fast. And I’ll surely share this video with my Hindi speaking friends as well. Once again, thank you! :)
This channel is gold. Where were you hiding all this time hadar
Wow Hadar! You nailed it! Languages are tricky stuff unlike structured disciplines like math/science, and if someone can pull of the subject of languages so well (not at all common), they really are worth their salt. YOU are really worth your salt! Best wishes from a native Urdu speaker!
These language analysis videos are brilliant opposed to those motivational ones.
Nevertheless, if would like to practise Portuguese I am here! Way to Go, Salute from Brazil.
Thanks Hadar , I'm Urdu speaker from Pakistan
I applaud you for your efforts and the attention you pay to details that even the native language speakers miss!
I got you through searching about a video on on intonation of american accents and i landed on your podcast, watched 1 and 2. I was only searching for accents lessons but I got inspirations❤️ I am really wondering where was i till now.
Thank you Hadar. I love to listening this being a dialect of Hindi speakers, Nepali
I learn something new today now I am gonna explore more of a ja sound. Thank you so much hadar:)
In a nutshell, it was such a practical lesson, so thanks a lot.
Thanks Hadar , I was waiting for these kind of contents in your video .

@@hadar.shemesh 😊😊
It is good for Japanese! Thanks!
I have the same type of video for Japanese speakers!
Everything is great but ma'am can you give us some references about the explanation that you have shared with us
Excellent! I can teach you Hindi sounds if you wish. :) You did a great job on the Google pronunciation help.
Thank you!! Glad you find it helpful! And I might take you up on that offer 😆
@@hadar.shemesh Anytime. Just drop a 1 line note to dr.ranbir.sinha@gmail.com We refer our students to Google pronunciations for practicing with the simplified symbols you created as IPA can be confusing.
Beautiful video, I just wanted to add, ye sound in version exists in urdu... we have an alphabet ژ for it 😀
i would like to see a pronunciation challenge Sinhala language(Sri Lankan English accent)
And now u understood most of your viewers are from india
ghana accent and nigeria if you can
Please do one for Vietnamese too!!
Nice video ..its been too long i m back to watch u😏
You're not non-native?? 👍 I can't tell. ESL teacher here
Pls make more hindi related pronunciation videos
could you please make a pronunciation video for" Soothes" vs "Suits" - 3rd person present tense verbs.
I’m here because I’m an American learning Hindi/Urdu and need to know what not to do. A video in reverse would be great 😅
Yes, a video on better pronouncing the aspirated letters घ, ध, थ, भ, etc. It took me a long time and a lot of practice to be able to pronounce them.
Thank you Hadar interesting lesson I need English grammer please Love from 🇵🇰
Hello Hadar, Great lesson as always. Could you please also make a video on how american english speakers use their throat vibrations while finishing a sentence( i think it's called popcorn quality)?
You meant vocal fry?
@@josephnguyen4548Yeah, I think that's what they call it.
Thank you so much _ Teacher " Hadar"_ SAAD RAMADHAN MUHI _IRAQ
People make common mistakes in pronunciation of Hindi and Urdu languages also. As ज, ज़
Thank you so much for thisss!!
Hi Hadar, I don'k know if you have done a video like this one but to spanish speakers. I would like to watch it. (and please, correct my message if I've made a mistake writing it). Hugs and kisses. 🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
I am from India speak Urdu.
Please, make Video for Bangladesh 🇧🇩.
Urdu, punjabi here
Out of the blue question. What's the secret of your beautiful hair?
Hi
hi. you did not send ur free pdf for me. i can not get it.
Hi, maybe it went to the spam/promotion folder. if you couldn't find it you can send an email to Hello@accentsway.com.
Hey Hadar! Thanks for this informative lesson, but I don't totally agree with breaking down diphthongs. Just from my own experience. Anyway, thanks once again!!!
It’s not the case for everyone! For sure:)
@@hadar.shemesh You can say that again! Have. a lovely day!!!
It's indeed there in Hindi and other Indian languages. It's rather simplifying diphthongs.
Ca
Teacher hadar now
hinglish is funny )
Does anyone corect me pronouncing the word "purple" P (h )U R P L E or P (h) U R P(h)L E
With more pronunciation mistakes, we call it Indian English.
I feel like Urdu speakers don't have many problems as Hindi speakers do. Hindi speakers stress so many alphabets which they are not supposed to do like they stress on T words or ED ending words or SH sound. People can easily differentiate between pronunciation of Hindi and Urdu speakers. Thanks Hadar for making this video.
Let's be real! There is no aspirated /p/ in Hindi.
but drop the T is... so american! hahaha
Time = टाइम, you are pronunciating ठाइम We feel it as an other world which has no mean.
Yes, it can be difficult to distinguish between those sounds for non-native Hindi speakers. There are several letters that are so similar like that. As a Hindi student, it can be a struggle
Every language has own beauti and way of talking ,alongwith language has a typical accent , if native speaker can't speak proper hindi even hindi syllable then how can hindi speaker speaks proper native English , u are not speaking hindi sound properly u r speaking in a wrong way
U r non-native? Really... what's ur native language actually??
Hindus swear they speak perfectly ... I nobody understands them !!! Hey Hadar what about a video for the challenges of the Spanish speakers who really want to speak like you.
There are plenty of Hindus that don't even speak Hindi. What does a person's religion have to do with their pronunciation?
