Do you want to become a great public speaker like Shonda Rhimes? Avoid sounding monotone? Are you interested in learning more about American intonation, American rhythm, and stress? Good. This is the day to do that.
Because In this video, we’ll talk about ALL of that as we analyze a TED talk called “My year of saying YES to everything” by the wonderful Shonda Rhimes. This talk is not only great to learn American intonation, but also to inspire you to take action and to dare say YES to things you usually say no to. Especially when it comes to English (and you know what I’m talking about).

Questions you probably want to ask me:
🗣️Are you a native speaker? NO
🌏Where are you from? Tel-Aviv, Israel (I speak Hebrew)
❓ How did you lose your accent? I learned acting in NYC and acquired an American Accent. So I never really lost anything. I also talk about it here: https://goo.gl/PShZ9s
🤔 How can I sound more like a native speaker? You don't have to. A foreign accent is not a bad thing. It's a part of your identity. Of who you are. Your goal should be to sound clear, to have an impact when you speak, and to feel confident in your English voice so that you never let your English hold you back or prevent you from achieving your goals. Aiming for 'speaking like a native' sets the bar so high, you may get discourages and won't even dare to try.
😩What's the worst thing about traditional English training? It's taught as if everyone has the name needs. And it's mostly boring.
🇺🇸Do native speakers think you are American? At first. But later in the conversation, they may detect a subtle accent. Depends on what I'm talking about and how tired I am. I don't care about it too much though, I'm a proud non-native speaker ✊
🎓Do you teach 1:1? I don't. I have an amazing colleague, Natalie, who teaches 1:1 at my school and online using my methods. I also have an online program called Accent Makeover that runs 2-3 times a year. For more: http://theaccentsway.com/

If you've come all the way down here, then read this:
You are enough. Speaking English with an accent. Getting stuck.
Your voice and your identity make you unique. There are enough Native English speakers out there in the world... You don't need to become another one. Find your own voice. It's important to improve your pronunciation and fluency so you feel more confident and capable. So YOU can express yourself better, and minimize the gap between your native tongue and your English.
And If someone makes fun or judges you because of your accent, simply ask back:
Oh, and how many languages do YOU speak?! 😏
People who only speak one language don't always understand what it means to overcome the challenges of speaking a foreign language. Don't feel self-conscious. Teach them.
