Hello, I am Elizabeth and I am from the state of Ohio, in the United States. I am learning Hebrew (and now Irish and French). I have been working on it for a couple of years, but not as much as I would like. I plan on visiting Israel one day and I want to be ready to be able to talk with anyone in Israel, to learn about culture and everyday life and I want to be able to do it with anyone I meet. I do not want language to be a barrier. I love learning Hebrew, I am using the Rosetta stone and Transparent Language as my main sources. But I also buy music and movies to help learn Hebrew as everyone speaks it. I hope to find people who can help me conversationally with Hebrew, and I can help them with English, well, the American version anyway. And maybe even make friends, which is not all that easy for me sometimes.
