At the moment I am thinking about studying for an MA. On Tuesday I went to Rishon-Letzion for a meeting with an educational advisor to hear about all my available options. It was also an opportunity to see the campus and talk to some students who are doing the same course as I am interested in. Hearing the high prices students need to pay for an MA made me even more supportive of all the protests taking place these days in Israel.
This week in Ulpan was very good as I started teaching one student from Holland. He is a charming man and certainly the first who has ever told me that (in his opinion), Hebrew is a simple language. He saw that I was a little perplexed by this (never have I heard this before) he said: "Try to learn Dutch and you will understand what a complicated language is…" So now we know that Hebrew is easier than Dutch.
Today is Thursday and I am going to do my first on-line lesson (via Skype) with a student from the UK who sounds so nice in the e-mails we have sent each other so far. I am excited.
Tomorrow it is Friday and I am really excited for Shabbat this week since a good friend of mine is coming over for the whole weekend. In a few months she will be getting married and these are our last months together as single friends.
Wishing you all Shabat shalom!
