Hebrew for English or Spanish
!הֶלוֹ, אֲנִי שֵׁם מָרכּ, רוֹצֶה לִלְמוֹד לְדַבֵּר עִבְרִית
I wish I could write more. I'm not quite a beginner, but I do still have to look up nearly every word in the dictionary to make sure I'm spelling it right. I would never presume to say that spelling in Hebrew is as difficult as in English (I've studied foreign languages from all over Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and no language ever spoken is as hard to spell as English!!!), but I do find it very challenging, knowing when to use Aleph, Ayin, or Hay, when to use qamatz or patach, when to use segol, or tsareh, and why on earth anyone would ever want to put a schva before an ayin--I would really like to understand that one!
But I love foreign language, and am always eager to learn more. Lately I've been reading a lot of religious texts from all over the world, and got excited about learning to read the Torah in Hebrew--of course, I'm guessing that reading Shakespeare in English is a lot easier than reading the Torah from studying modern Hebrew, but it can't hurt, and, anyway, it's language.
I can help with English or Spanish, and I can help beginners with French, German, or Mandarin Chinese. I teach writing in college, so I'm pretty highly skilled in terms of teaching language in general and English in particular.
I'm 44, male, living in Sacramento, CA, and I love everything--music, theater, art, philosophy, politics, culture, religion, spirituality, movies, books, technology. I can't talk to intelligently about sports, but there aren't a whole lot of things I won't enjoy chatting about. I'm studying to be a bartender while I'm at this.
I would love to learn how to say, "I'm very proud of you" in Hebrew.
I look forward to meeting you. I'm not a Gold member, so the ball's in your court.

Hello! I'm Kristin
Hello and שלוםצ
My name is Kristin. I'm from the US. I am trying to learn Hebrew, but I warn that I am very bad at it. I can read it though, if it has vowel markings. So practice with reading it without the markings would be great! So would any practice, actually. I just want to learn it all.
I love music and theatre more than the world. I study martial arts and am close to obtaining my black belt. I am in college and I'm studying to be a teacher.
So that's a little about me! :-D

Shalom! ¡Hola!
Hi! I'm looking for people from Israel. I've never really studied Hebrew but I want to learn it and more about what it's really like in Israel. I've taken Spanish for a few years, y ahora, me gusta practicar más.
Also, if anyone needs help with English, I'm more than willing to help.
Well, hope to hear from you soon!
