But as any adult oleh can tell you, as one's Hebrew slowly improves, one's English rapidly deteriorates. Thus, after a few years, one doesn't become bilingual. One becomes non-lingual! :-)Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649082640953110457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-6342314300525449572009-01-26T02:03:00.000+02:002009-01-26T02:03:00.000+02:00I think this might actually be a good way to learn...I think this might actually be a good way to learn Hebrew. Begin with regular English; start incorporating key Hebrew words and grammar; eventually eliminate the remaining English terms. Why do I think it would be a good way to learn? Because that's how kids do it! And they do it very well. Whereas adults start with formal grammar like Peel, Paul, Hoopoe and Highball and their eyes glaze over long before they get to anything useful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-75176460727116863932009-01-25T15:50:00.000+02:002009-01-25T15:50:00.000+02:00RickisMom - Thanks and have a great week!RickisMom - Thanks and have a great week!Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649082640953110457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-19455591165306394372009-01-25T09:36:00.000+02:002009-01-25T09:36:00.000+02:00Nice!
