A whole day in Israel, and I answered only in Hebrew

Four real situations in Israel, done as a conversation, not as a list of words. Directions, hotel check in, ordering in a cafe, calling a taxi. Max had to answer me in Hebrew with his page out of order, so he could not guess. Then we swapped and he had to run the conversation himself. This is what a live Tuesday class actually looks like. Nothing scripted, mistakes included, and the mistakes are the best part.

Say the wrong one and you send someone away. הזמנה covers a table, a room and a wedding invitation. Context decides. Every verb you say changes for a man and for a woman. Look at who is in front of you first. Time, money and distance keep the plain number form. חמש דקות, לא חמישה.
