One of the 10 plagues against the Egyptians who were holding the Jews captive was - HAIL! But today, if you go to the beach in Tel Aviv and ask for a "barad" - you will get a snow cone - which is just domesticated hail.

But next week I will take the plunge and start learning a lot more Hebrew words and I will post daily of my practice. In one month I should be able to give a 5 to 10 minute speech with a decent accent. This is going to be fun. I'll post videos of my progress or my embarrassments - whichever comes first!

Most people want to learn 1 language. Would you be interested in a project in which you would learn 4 new languages in one year?

How many languages do you speak now? What languages are on your list to learn next?

I've studied - Mandarin, French, Greek, Hebrew
On my list to learn - Hebrew and Valencian (dialect of Catalan)

Here in Vancouver I've been able to have up to conversations in 5 languages in a day!
