Tov Mayod!

I started taking a Hebrew class on Monday nights at the JCC (Jewish Community Centre) which is less than a five minute walk from our place.  My teacher always says 'Tov Mayod' to everyone which is very encouraging!  So far we have reviewed the alef-beit, read through a telephone conversation (about a woman named Rivka and her silly Doda Sarah and Dod Yakov), listened to two songs (one was a very depressing song about love gone bad) and written a little story of an argument to act out with a partner.  My story (completed with my classmate Howard) was about a husband being rude to his wife:  (Howard's idea!)

Husband: 'Ayfo cafe?'

Wife: 'Sleeyha?'

Husband: 'Boyee hana.'

Wife: 'Beh Ahmet??'

Husband: 'Beh Ahmet!'

Wife: 'Yish Kasef?'

Husband: 'Ayn Kasef. .......  Sleeyha.  Ma schlomaha?'

Wife: 'Lech mi po!'

Everyone thought this was a very funny story.  Our teacher helped with the final line for the wife because neither Howard nor I knew how to say 'get out!' or anything like that. :)  Here are some pictures of the building where I'm taking my class and of me getting ready to go to class. Yoav thought I looked very cute with my backpack so he took a picture of me.
