Lesson 9
In which you realise
the true nature of dogs
Prepare for the verb-learning challenge!

In lessons 9-14 (excluding the very special lesson 11!) we are going to put most of our efforts into verb-learning!

On the one hand – finally! Because verbs are freedom, verbs are the heart of the language that give you real power to express yourself. But, on the other hand – they are more challenging to master. However, not as challenging as you might have thought.

Watch the video first and then read my explanation on how to tackle the verbs!

Details and overview chart of the challenge you will find after the Vocabulary Memrise trainer (here).

For your convenience...
... I've divided the vocabulary for this lesson into 2 levels:
one with verbs (the bigger one),
and the other one - with the rest of the words.

With these two you will be finishing the second pile of Memrise today
(earlier than you would have expected, huh? :P )

So, I promised to help you deal with the 10 verbs we have in this lesson (actually, ten pairs – present tense form and an infinitive form for each verb). Aaah, 10 pairs – it may seem a lot to learn! And 4? Would 4 verbs be too much to learn? Probably, not! The secret is – to spread the learning and the practice across several days!

So, today – can you learn 4 verbs? Sure!
Tomorrow – can you learn 2 verbs? Of course!
The day after tomorrow – can you learn 2 more? No problem!
And the day after that – just 2 more and you are did it!

LESSON 12 (GROUP IV) - 6 verbs
LESSON 13 (GROUP V) - 7+1 verbs
LESSON 14 (GROUP VI) - 3 verbs

So, you see – this lesson has the longest list! Just make sure you learn this one properly – and you know how to tackle the rest!

Look at all the words without the translations.
Do you remember them?
Make sure you do - you will need them!
Now, let's make a pause and "distract" you for a fun project.

Why is that? Because at this stage you must make a break and let your brain assimilate what you've learnt. How do we do it? The answer is simple – by interacting with more fun, engaging and immersive materials. Give your brain some time. And of course – read more! "But what can we read? We know so little! – you may say. Well, that's why I've prepared a "Guess the movie" e-book for you!

Read the first "volume" now (5 short and easy texts with audio, pictures and more!) and guess which movie they are about!

In this book you will encounter new words that are not part of the course – and it's ok! Time to go beyond the safe boundaries of our course vocabulary – be brave! ;) Google! ;) In terms of grammar – I promise that there is only what we know, only present tense and verbs only from groups I-II-III.

Hebrew songs
If you liked the song in the previous lesson,
you are probably asking yourself now "where can I listen to more Israeli songs?"

Here are some links to Israeli songs collections.

In the meanwhile these are just for listening, for being exposed to the familiar words, etc. Later on, when you feel ready, come back to these links! These are good selections for learners, pick the song you like and try to understand the lines!

(Russian site, but these songs are really well selected, and easy to understand! Listen now, and listen again after the course is over –you will be understanding more and more!)
