Hate/Love Relationship with Hebrew
I am having a complex relationship with Hebrew. Lately I have been disliking it intensely. I am having a really hard time memorizing the words - I can drill a word into my head and the next day it is as if I have never seen it before! Not only that the whole grammar thing is a problem. I don't think I learned much more than adjectives, verbs, adverbs and nouns in school. So the book refers to "direct object" as if it is the most natural thing in the world to know. The student in the class that learned English as a second language is not having any problem.
Anyhow, today I am loving Hebrew a bit more. I feel like I turned a corner - just in time as I have a midterm on Monday. These days of relief are few as in no time I will be lost and struggling again.
Oh yea, the word at the top of the screen is Shalom - peace (or rather lack of strife)
