Hello everyone. I did the not uncommon track of moving with my parents to Israel from Russian when I was 5 and then moving to the States 10 years later when I was 15. The move to the States was 19 years ago so all y’all can do the math. I maintained fluency in both languages as far as speaking and reading is concerned (spelling plagues me in all the languages I speak, including English). Would be interesting to meet ex Israelis in general and people with a similar life itinerary as mine. I certainly can be fairly culturally native in Russian and Israeli cultures with American being a close second. I live in Cambridge, Mass.
