Continuing Education

I think learning is important, so in that light, I've decided to learn Hebrew. As my roommate speaks it fluently, and used to live in Israel, it seemed a logical choice. I've got the Pimsleur on my iPod, the roommate to correct my mistakes- I'm off!

So far I can say "Do you understand English? I don't understand Hebrew." "Excuse me?" and "Tits".

Wanting to expand this, I am of course planning on listening to the lessons whenever possible. So, there I am in the cab, diligently (and quietly) practicing my Hebrew- which as you know consists of how to say "Do you understand English?" and "No, I don't understand Hebrew" and variations thereof (also "Tits"). I am assuming that the cabdriver either can't hear me, or thinks I'm on the phone or something, but as I get out he says "(insert word in Hebrew I don't know yet)" and I'm like "Eh?" And he says (in English) "You are learning Hebrew! Congratulations!" And I said (in Hebrew) (this is the best part) "You understand Hebrew!" It was very sweet.

Oh, yeah- that's what happened to me today.
