How well can you actually read Hebrew script? Is this stuff in the book written in English or in Hebrew transliteration or actually in Hebrew script?

The exercises are in Hebrew, the instructions for the exercises are in English. The reading part of the chapter is entirely Hebrew with definitions of new words given in the same line of the paragraph.

Daniyal, so are you implying that we're freaks?! Okay, well, that may be a by-product of having learned these blasted binyanim. As least Hebrew only has seven; Arabic has ten, plus remnants of others ( ... )

Ein davar, achi. Todah r'bah la-'ezer.

I know that spoken Hebrew will definitely be different from what I'm learning from the textbook. It will only get better if I actually live in Israel and use it everyday.. but I don't see myself doing that.

And you can say 'fuck' in your comments here. I don't really mind curses, so say what you want to without fear :D

Doesn't tizdayen mean 'go fuck yourself'? Mannn! I have to try that out on my teacher or somebody!!

Really? I mean, with most languages, spoken and written language is different. I dunno how far this textbook will teach me conversational Hebrew, but there are dialogs and maybe that'll help ( ... )
