After Xmas and New Year's comes January
which means that reality calls... Work starts again, and this time
school, too (גם). Or, my Hebrew (עברית) classes. Another 12 x 1,5hrs of learning
this mystical language waits ahead.
Things have been a bit (OK, a lot!)
stressful at work recently, and I (אני) have been a sleepless nerve wreck
ever since the holidays ended. I don't have a family & kids (ילדים),
pets, hobbies or anything similar to keep me regularly distracted
from the place where I bring home (בית) the bread (לחם). Therefore I have a bad
habit of dwelling on things. Uh, this sounds sad, sad, sad.
But I guess diving in to the world of
Hebrew makes a tiny exception to this. The first class of this year
started with (עם) revising last autumn's things (and no, I hadn't done my
homework or practiced over the holidays) and I got furious how I
still can't remember all the alphabet. Hebrew is distracting!
And (ו), I'm still a little (קצת) disappointed that I
haven't learnt any proper small talk. We go through a lot of the same
things and words that you can't really build a sentence with. Also
this spring, the classes very often clash with other engagements I
have, so this will furthermore diminish my chances to learn and
absorb. But let's see if I get anything right. The following sentence should have something to do with the picture below:
...אני רוצה קצת עוגה בבקשה

PS. After writing this post I read it through and picked out and marked in bold all the words I also know in Hebrew. See what I mean? Just nine words. No (לא) ingredients for chitchat. Well, now 10. :)
you are making a great progress. having a different alphabet makes hebrew a more difficult language to learn. but you already know way more than before! keep up the good work :D
