That interesting moment when you discover that you have written down the key combination* for the upper-case Russian letter Э in your Hebrew practice notebook of all places.

*because you use... well, I use a Bulgarian Cyrillic layout that doesn't have the strictly Russian letters.

I have studied Spanish and Russian. Sometime I can only remember the word for something in the other language. Eta Pravda.

My best phrase in Spanish is El Elephante es grande. After studying 5 months of Russian I can say слон большой. Both are not really important sentences in either language.

Oh, I can't build the simplest sentence in Hebrew on my own, but I know how to say "Jerusalem of gold, of copper and of light". LOL

It could be important on your visit to Jerusalem but not the conversation starter you were looking for on your visit to Iran. ;-{p}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

This reminded me of a scene from well-known Russian comedy movie:
