Speaking Hebrew is one thing, but understanding slang and keeping up with the fast pace of Israelis in conversation is much harder.
How do you do it? Slowly and patiently.
One very good way is simply to listen to a dialogue at natural speed, in natural language, and to listen again and again, so your ear gets used to separating the words and they sound clearer.
What else is missing to understand a natural conversation? Understanding the slang. Sometimes it sounds like a word you know, but the meaning is completely different, and outside of the context and the culture it's hard to understand.
They are a pair of Israeli animators who capture the pace and the talk of the Israeli "street". Funny, witty videos that show the pushy, unapologetic Israeli, and are packed with slang along the way.
So that you can understand and laugh too, I made you the first unit: a short, focused unit built around one cult Nir & Gali video, just 3 minutes long.
This is the beginning of a course that will grow unit by unit. Each unit takes a different Israeli video, and they all share one thing: Israeli humor.
The full text of the dialogue, in Hebrew with an English translation
An Israeli slang decoder - what it actually means
Exercises to review the new words (mostly slang)
A fill-in-the-words dialogue - for those who want the challenge of listening with part of the text missing
A final quiz - to check what you've really got
Almost everything is translated into English, but the unit is aimed at intermediate to advanced learners.
A PDF guide built around a short, humorous video full of slang and Israeli vibe, plus a Google Doc with the full transcript and translation, Hebrew and English.
Short and focused. Go at your own pace, and dig as deep as you like.
