hebrew

we spent lunch today speaking only hebrew (except for ordering of course). it started when i wanted to say something nasty about someone who was in hearing range from us, and the conversation had a life of its own from there... it was a lot of fun!
we mostly told each other what we did this morning. ben thought it was hilarious that in hebrew we call all types of cereal "corenflex", and that if you ask for a "soda" in you get sparkling water.

his hebrew is improving a lot. he does his homework every night (well, sometimes he falls asleep during the boring lessons...), and can now say complete sentences! i'm so proud!

אני כל כך שמחה לשמוע שאתה ממשיך ללמוד עברית.חשבתי שאתה ויתרת.אם תרצה אנחנו יכולים להתכתב במסנגר בעברית-במקום שעורי בית. אני אספר לך ספורים מעניינים ויהיה לך יותר כייף.

That's so great! I'm genuinely excited for you. And I love the "soda" and "cornflakes" observations. People here also love that we have only one word in Hebrew for deck/porch/terrace/patio/balcony.
