Yofi!

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.
