Learn Hebrew - 1 Month Challenge

Since I have promised myself I would learn more Hebrew and eventually become fluent, I have yet to make any larger jumps since conversion. I learned quite a bit of Hebrew during my conversion with Android apps and during classes. Then I learned more Hebrew while in Israel where my husband's family does not speak a lot of English.

So being an American Jew I get two New Years. Since I did not make any large strides since Rosh Hashanah, I decided I needed to keep myself busy with a one month Challenge so I don't continue to make excuses about not doing new things.

My goal will be to learn a new Hebrew word every day, not one that I already know - of course. And hopefully by the end of the month I will have remembered most of them. We'll see how many Hebrew words out of 31 I remember.

Since today is the 6th already, I will be playing catch up. I'm just going to head over to HebrewPod to start this off and take the first 6 words I do not know and use in a sentence.

1. Shavu'a means week
2. Shanah means year
3. Hayom means today
4. Machar means tomorrow
5. Etmol means yesterday
6. Luach shana means calendar

Although some of these should be obvious to me, such as shanah and hayom, I have not used these in a sentence nor would I have been able to tell you what year and day was in Hebrew.

I will start tomorrow's post by seeing if I can even remember the English translations of what words I wanted to learn.

So until machar, and hayom is etmol - Shalom.
