Hey Eitan where in Israel are you from? Also I am not being sarcastic at all when I say this but how did you learn to read and write english and stuff. You write pretty well and I am only asking you because I am sort of trying to learn hebrew by myself and it's not going well so I am jealous of you in a way. In any event I completely agree with you on the Olmert matter, I just hope his downfall happens soon if it hasn't already happened.
i think from books
and mybe i have an idea for you
if you are downloding movies from the internet(i mean new movies or older movies)
download the hebrew subtitle for the movie
i think it can help you (mybe it's stupid idea but i can help you with that to find subtitles)
and also there is software "babylon"(the name of the software) you can translate english to hebrew and vice versa
and in the new verison u also can translate full Sentence or even text(but sometimes with mistakes)
i am living in the northen part of israel (krayot)
i learnt english from reading books about computers and and i have family in canada and US so i speak sometimes in english(but my speaking is bad becuse i am not regrular to talk alot in english but hebrew i speak most of the time
and i am trying do not put english words in hebrew like others jews in israel
and about olmert i saw his speech today and he said "there is still holocust deniers in world"
