I’m exhausted. Hebrew class is going on day five, the final day. After tomorrow I will have sat in 20 hours of class time and completed about 5 hours of homework. Needless to say I’m tired. Four hours of Hebrew is exhausting. I’m taking in a TON of information in such a short amount of time that I feel like an old computer whose processor is too slow.
Besides all that…my cat took a visit to the vet this week which had me back and forth to the vet so he could have a medicated bath for what we call “skin crunchies”. Basically the cat has allergies to this weather.
Yesterday we also went to Universal Studios for about 5 hours. Then I came home and did yet another hour of Hebrew homework. And yes…after this post, I will sit down and do my last bit of homework. The homework, to be honest, isn’t impossible. It’s mostly taking activities in our text and rewriting conversations into script from the block print. I still mix up a few script letters and similar sounds such as the kaf and kof, aleph, ayin and hay. But, not to worry, these are normal mistakes and the class is only Beginning Hebrew One. I will sign up to take Beginning Hebrew Two which will be much slower. Once a week for two hours for a total of ten weeks.
So…what are YOU learning this summer?

The Hebrew class sounds fun. Are you getting a letter grade or is this class strictly pass or fail?
I’m currently studying alternative photography. I want to get more hands on in my work. I’ve found a few techniques that interest me but have not been able to put them into practice yet mostly because of the heat.
בְּהַצְלָחָה!
I’m studying “how to keep up with three kids, a husband, a father, a part-time job, the laundry, getting ready for Shabbat, and finding time to blog”. If I were taking a course, it would be pottery or watercolor. A friend spoke to me about starting an art group; now that would be fun!
I have thought about starting a Mr. Linky for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet. You could then learn Hebrew by having other bloggers teach you. Of course, you might not learn it correctly, as your teacher pointed out.
I could do with going back to some formal learning. My “ivrit” definitely needs brushing up.
I’m learning how little sleep I can survive on! Not that I set out to learn this, mind you. It’s just what’s been happening. (*sigh*)
