Hebrew is really more different on the language structure than Greek. In Greek, you have the vocabulary which you can link because of the etymology, for example, once I didn't remember "fyta" for plants, but with "phytosanitary products", we can find "fyto, fyta", which means plant, plants in Greek.Giulia I see you are learning Modern Hebrew. How are you doing with that? I have a friend at Church who was learning Hebrew and Greek but found the Hebrew much more complicated
jillio - Do you know many languages? Hope it's ok to ask you. You seem to know a lot about language
Beating around the bush is often said as 'Stop Beating around the bush' which would mean to get straight to the point and stop putting it off
Oh ok, in French we would say "tourner autour du pot", "turning around the pot" !!
Even a little is better than nothingI wish I was more proficient. My fluency is English and ASL, but I do know some French, some German, and some Yiddish. Along with some long forgotten Latin. But I have studied linguistics extensively.

In Hebrew, if you don't remember a word, you can't link it to French or English.
Moreover, grammar has no link with an European language.
I hope you understood my soup

Yep, and tease my curiosity to translate this expression into Italian and Greek (my level of Hebrew is not enough strong to learn expressions yet)How interesting! Language is so culturally based.
Sounds like you learned a lot from her.
Oh wow! Yeah it does sound quite more difficult then Greek. Thank you for explaining it to me! Good luck on your learning! I hope you can pick it up quickly.
Thank you for answering! Can I ask a question or two about signing and speaking English?
I speak patchy Norwegian, Scots Gaelic, and know a bit more Japanese. I can carry on a polite greeting conversation, ask for a bathroom, ask and answer how my day was and talk about some school things. I'm learning to write Japanese thanks to my friend Miho in Tokyo
Comments like this seem really mean spirited to me. I enjoy most of your posts but always feel bad when you attack someone.

Don't go, Bott! I'll miss you!
Thanks But I have a looooooooooooooooong way before being fluent
Bott really isn't a mean spirited person. She is simply direct and sometimes misunderstood as a result.
Who ? Hear Again ?Thanks, Jillio. I noticed after losing my temper that my main irritant is banned again.
