With Persian, I have continued to work with my instructor and language group members to form conversations based on present and past happenings. Having picked up some new vocabulary and verb structures, I am able to form a wider array of sentences and respond to simple questions.
The words shood meaning, it happened, and shawad meaning, it will happen, are infinitely useful in talking about the present and future. For example, the sentence ‘It rained yesterday’ would be deruz baran (rain) shood.
To increase my knowledge of Hebrew vocabulary and gain an increased familiarity with spoken sentence structure, I watched the film Alila, produced by Amos Gitai. Below are the verbs I picked up through watching the film:
to agree--להסכים
to regret--להצטער
to get, receive, accept--לקבל
to teach-- ללמד
to travel--לטייל
to rush--למהר
to wait—לחכות
to try—לנסות
to show-- להראות
