As promised, some Hebrew to keep you 'in the know ' :] along with some of my favorite expressions.
Yofi (which I like to think of as joffi) means: Great!
Sababa (pronounced Saaaa-baba) means: Cool!
Balagan: a mess (often used to describe the Middle Eastern peace process)
Ma?: What?
Efo: Where?
Lama, lama: (we all know this one...) why, why?
Ken: yes
Loh: No
My first hebrew sentence-- in answer to a concern about my life here in Israel:
Ani loh rotza leot shmenah.
(I don't want to get fat.)
..and that's all for now.
I will include a few Hebrew learning resources that I've run into.

Please let me know if you have heard of some other good ones.

ReplyDeletegood resource for worksheets on learning to read/write the Hebrew letters and vowels (yes we all know Hebrew doesn't have vowels)
All that health y food you r not going to get fat. how is walking are you able to go out safely? Prayers and thoughts sweet friend. Tami
ReplyDeleteGreat resource, Amanda. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tami! Well, given that I err on the bold side, I haven't been walking out by myself unless I'm heading to the bus stop or am in the city. So yes, if I'm in Jerusalem and around people, no problem. It's fine. (I would love to hike these lonely country trails where I live, but that wouldn't be a good idea.)
