    About this ebook

    Hebrew, When to Say What? How to Avoid Common Mistakes was born after having received repeated questions such as "What’s the difference between this and that? When do I say 'this word' and when 'that word’? Why this word and not the other?” This book answers these questions for the beginner and intermediate level and even for the advanced Hebrew students. Neither dictionaries nor Internet translators can teach you what you will find in this book as these particular entries, require thorough and yet simple explanations with examples of how and when to use them. The book is as unique and valuable as a book can get! It is like a mini Hebrew thesaurus. The gems in this book will get you into the mindset, culture, nuances and flavor of Modern Hebrew and it will keep you out of the most common traps. Hebrew, When to Say What? contains over a hundred English entries that cannot be translated word for word into Hebrew; two hundred Hebrew words, expressions, phrases, slang, and idioms; illustrations and exercises. This book gives you only the common usages of each entry and not ALL of them as it is intended specifically for the beginner/intermediate level. I made sure I use simple and basic vocabulary and syntax to not overburden or overwhelm you with new and unnecessary materials while the purpose is to give you just those words, phrases and idioms that are unique to Hebrew and that cannot be literally translated into English. Moreover, I wanted to make this book accessible to as many levels as possible. For your convenience and to avoid reading words that you may not know, I translated every sentence and included the Hebrew vowels - n'koo-dote (nee-kood). The Hebrew sentences are mostly in the present tense. The entries are in alphabetical order. I added exercises to individual entries that called for it. I have no doubt that you will love this one of a kind book!

      Often when people talk about “the music of language” they make it sound like a mere frill, something we add to “dress up” plain writing. I don’t agree with this view. At the heart of language, I hear music—word-music, akin in many ways to instrumenta
