Knowing the history of Hebrew is helping me learn the language in a few ways. The first way being that it makes me feel proud of my people and motivates me to learn the language. Hebrew is the only language to be revived from the dead and come back strong; it has also helped create the state of Israel and a home for the Jewish people. Having a language is very important to having a strong country and culture. The second reason why this knowledge is helping me learn Hebrew is because I understand its origins better and can now understand why certain things within the language are the way they are. Right now Yiddish is dying out and some of the words are used in colloquial Hebrew which is important to be able to understand. Hebrew is a language that is always fighting for its place in the world and it is essential to keep it growing strong.
