This week I read through a 100 page autobiography of my grandmother who is 97 and had her story recorded by an Israeli journalist. I created a vocabulary list of words that I was not familiar with and accumulated a word bank of twenty words that I was able to apply in forming written sentences to practice their use in context.
I also continued my practice of reading the daily news in Hebrew. This week there were a significant number of articles on the Iranian nuclear situation, Syria's internal problems, and interestingly a section dedicated specifically to US 2012 elections.
I also watched an Israeli comedy clip on reality show interviewing from the News channel in Israel. It was great for insight on modern culture and slang which I am not familiar with in comparison to family communication or news briefs.
