One of the most amazing things about Hebrew is that, in less
than a century, it has gone from an ancient language of prayer and
ritual spoken by a few holy men to a modern language of sunbathing,
dining, going to the movies, and countless other everyday
activities, spoken by millions. Modern Hebrew is a beautiful
language, but for a native English speaker it can be tough wrapping
your tongue around exotic expressions like "Ha''im Ayn Oogiyot?"
"What, no cookies?". As with any language, the quickest way to
master Hebrew basics is to immerse yourself in its sounds and
rhythms. The next best thing to six months in Haifa, "Hebrew For
