Entertaining and educating. If, like me, you've always wanted to know about the 'secret' language spoken in the emergency department of a hospital, or by cricket players, or among sound engineers, or... This book is for you.

I‘ve been absent for a long time… this has been what has pulled me. I‘m attempting to learn Hebrew!
I‘ve been in a different place since I had surgery again this past November. Cancer has been difficult to battle and my latest chemo treatment has been by far the worst. So distracting myself with something complicated has been good for me. I miss everyone and this community so I‘m going to try to get to being active again, 💕📚💕

AmyG Wishing you an easier time. Hebrew! I learned this as a kid. I can read Hebrew but have no clue what any of it means. Good luck! 3mo

Tamra 🤗 Wow, I admire your resilience and patience. 💪🏾💪🏾 3mo
SamAnne Wishing you a strong recovery. Cancer is a life changer. I‘m in remission after surgery/radiation but declined chemo for time being to soak in a year of travel and living life to the fullest against doctor advice. New scans next month when I return from Mexico! Good for you learning Hebrew! I plan tackle Spanish in 2024 to keep positive thoughts about returning to Mexico in 2025, I suspect Hebrew is a bit more challenging. 😳😁 3mo

I was expecting this to be a bit dry but it was surprisingly funny and engaging. I will need a physical copy at some point because I can see myself reading it over and over everytime I start to learn a new language (I'm a wannabe polyglot) but listening to it did have some advantages because he gives very specific pronunciation examples. Chock full of resources and language learning advice as well as his own experience and specific study methods.

Happy Jólabókaflód part 2!

Here‘re the family‘s treats…

Bugga is really excited about all holidays and we found some extra books to help him (and us all) with understanding ☺️

LeCarre for husband, bada$$ for little sister, Harvest for big sister, and Episode 13 for me.

Also, yes, chocolate abounds. ☺️
♥️??♥️??♥️

AmyG Merry Christmas!🎄 4mo
