When I was 20, I moved to NYC with big dreams and an Israeli accent. I wanted to become an actress But what essentially started as a secondary training in my acting studies, turned out to be my path in life. Working with the best dialect coaches in NYC on my American accent, I fell in love with the sounds of the language and the ability to own language by understanding its set of sounds, intonation, and rhythm. I was especially in awe of the huge impact it had on my speech, confidence, and life. So it became my main passion in life. I followed this passion and it led me to linguistics studies at Tel Aviv University, learning phonology and phonetics to understand what’s going on in our brains when we speak and acquire another language.
