Let's start from... well,
from the beginning. At first let's learn how to say "Hello" and "Goodbye", "Good
night" and "Good morning".
Try to memorize the words
you learn here, read the little exercise at the end of this page, and try to
understand it.
Please, note, that some
expressions have two forms: talking to male and female is different in Hebrew.
