All is well here at the Ulpan. Last week I started the project up in the north of Israel with Efrat, teaching Hebrew to a group of young people from Australia. The kibbutz is only 40 minutes away from the Kineret and is really beautiful. We received a great welcome from the people there who are very warm and friendly and the students seem to be a lot of fun. I am starting to think that there may well be worse places to work and live for six weeks…..
During the project I will be living on the kibbutz from Sunday to Wednesday and then Thursday, I will be teaching students in Tel Aviv. What a contrast!
Last Thursday was one of my students, Batya's last lesson. Batya has been coming all the way from Beer Sheva to study with us here at Tel Aviv and it was quite emotional to say goodbye to her. We both felt as if we had travelled a quite a journey together. It was intense at times but amazing to see how Batya's self-confidence as well as her Hebrew skills. We hope to see her back here soon. Well done Batya!
Well I need to go and finish the preparation for the Australian students' lessons this morning and so I wish you all Shavua Tov!
