Hadar Shemesh taught Hebrew pronunciation for years before realizing she was limiting herself. She started teaching pronunciation in English without feeling ready, and the shift sparked growth. She argues you don't need to feel prepared to begin.
Why did I start doing this so late? So I started teaching pronunciation, but I wasn't teaching it in English. I was teaching it in Hebrew, which is my first language. And there was a point where I said, Hadar, you're playing small. You have to change it. Until one day I said, I am going to start speaking in English. And I shifted to English, and lo and behold, it was not as hard. It felt natural, and it felt like the right step, like it was helping me grow. So that is the first thing that I regret not doing because I didn't feel ready, and it was just in my head, totally in my head.
