achat efes efes : אחת אפס אפס 
is an Israeli TV series with Amos Tamam (also in srugim), who plays a cop who constantly stumbles over the line between what is legal and what is illegal in chasing the bad guys. Intersting series set in Tel Aviv but a bit brutal for my taste. You can watch it on you tube but unfortunately there are no English subtitles available:


 
:    אחת אפס אפס , פרק 1 פרק מלא
 

********************************************************************************


 
'ain
'ain is the negation of yesh and simply means there is no ... or  there isn't or nothing

mah shlomcha? ma shlomech?
it literally means: what is your peace / wellbeing?
is equivalent to the English how are you?
and you have to be careful and youse the masculine and feminine forms accordingly.
As a beginner it's easier to ask mah nishmah? or mah chadash? where you don't have to
think about the gender.

two more infinitives
la'assot       to do
likro           to read

  1. Hi Anna,
    I just want to say thank you for these courses. I've been learning from a few Hebrew vocab courses on memrise, but have found your courses the most beneficial, as you actually teach sentence structure.
    I haven't been using the roman alphabet lessons, only the Hebrew, but they're great.
    Keep up the good work, and Thanks again.
