As usual, your podcasts are a blessing for us, Hebrew students all over the world.
I will be the first one to buy any Hebrew material you decide to publish in the future, maybe your podcasts condensed into a book format?
Thank you so much for your wonderful job and generosity!
Toda raba Flavio, thanks so much. I’ll think about your idea!

Thank you for the valuable feedback, Gillian. I will think about what you wrote!
