Hebrew Words
Whenever you go to a foreign country, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the local language and customs. Most people in Israel speak English, but, with the influx of Jews from the former Soviet Union, you're almost as likely to run into someone who speaks just Russian as Hebrew. Even if you aren't fluent in the language, natives usually appreciate it when visitors make an effort to speak in their native tongue. Below are a few common Hebrew phrases that will help you get by in Israel. If you don't learn anything else, memorize "Please," "Thank you" and "You're welcome."
Keywords to Remember
- hello
- sha-LOM
- goodbye
- sha-LOM
- please
- be-va-ka-SHA
- thank you
- to-DAH
- your welcome
- al low da-VAAR
