Intensive Hebrew

Today we met with Anna and went to our Hebrew teacher's house to spend two intensive hours learning Hebrew. It was really intense and I think I broke my brain!

We went through our textbook from where we left off last Thursday and covered about ten pages - about double what we usually covered in our 3.5 hour daily sessions before. Having just three people in the class helps - we each have to answer questions more often and we're on the spot more often. It's good for us and we're learning more this way.

Plus, we have more homework tonight than we used to have because we're going so quickly through the material.

After Hebrew (which ends at noon), we met some other friends and had a quick lunch. Lunch today was my first bagel in Israel! We ate our bagels in the cab on the way to a new (to us) movie theater where we saw Pirates II! It was fantastic! We had popcorn and there was stadium seating. Plus, there was no loud siren announcing the intermission! I just love reading the subtitles in English-language movies, especially when I can understand some of the words! It's almost a continuation of Hebrew class.
