[Chacmool]

Do you speak Hebrew? Do you know anyone who does? I need to learn a few words, and would really appreciate some help. :)

I work with a team in Israel. While it would be a very strange question and vastly different from our normal day-to-day exchanges, I'm sure they'd be glad to help if I asked. ???

Thanks! :hihi: The love of my life (who I only recently met; interesting story I might tell you all someday) was born in Israel, and although we both speak English fluently (it's his first language), I'd like to learn some Hebrew.

Could've been a cool name for a male chauvinist lager... :hihi:

Shalom.

 

Careful though, the pronunciation is the stickler. I have some Jewish relatives, and listening to their reading from the Torah during their mitzfahs was interesting.

Ya it's tricky, but it's a beautiful language. I can see why Chac would want to learn it. I'm just familiar with a few words from listening to a Messianic Jew named Michael Rood.

I came across this website where you can get free Hebrew lessons:

http://foundationstone.com.au/

 

I've also ordered a book and CD from a local bookshop, but it will take another two weeks to get here.

I was about to recommend Foundation Stone. I'm pretty sure it's been given props by the Sydney Beth Din. I could just be insane, though. :lol:

Well, the teach-yourself Hebrew book wasn't that much help. Also, I've been a lazy student! So last week I enrolled for a beginner's course at university. Hopefully that will be more comprehensive and also give me the necessary incentive.
