In this homecoming episode, host Guy Sharett explains why we say “Ani holech habaita,” and how to use its many forms.

We’re airing pieces of the Skype chat host Guy Sharett had with some of our StreetWise Hebrew Patrons in January.

On this episode, host Guy Sharett explains the word ‘believe’ and its Hebrew root – but not without a surprise celebrity guest.

How do you tell someone to “wait a minute” or “hold on a second?” Host Guy Sharett talks about one of the most popular words in Hebrew, rega, moment, but also “just a moment”.

Laredet, to go down, is the opposite of La’alot, to go up. But the root ירד has so many other meanings. Guy talks rain, movie downloads, mocking our friends, and some more raunchy topics. Rated explicit!

This week we’re celebrating 1 million downloads! We’re celebrating in Hebrew of course, talking about the root ‘hagag,’ חגג, and learning how to use it. The cake, by the way, was amazing.

Let’s learn all about pleasantness – Guy teaches us sentences with the word ‘naim,’ along with Hebrew names related to the root. And how do you greet someone who just got a haircut in Arabic?

“This is the way it is, there’s nothing you can do about it”, is something you hear a lot in Israel. Guy teaches how to use it, and similar expressions using the verb ’la’asot,’ to do.

Guy teaches us his toolkit of Hebrew intensifiers for when things in our lives are truly beyond belief
