Fascinating article and video. I hadn't really thought about the fact that the word "the" doesn't have an exact equivalent in Spanish or French (both use gendered nouns and articles). It would be interesting to see if Zipf's Law holds up for natively-written Spanish articles authored by people from different Spanish-speaking languages. Time for another round of analysis @italki?

Some move forward alone in side alleys, taking each step with zombie-like slowness. Others, huddled in silent bundles, cross, touch, and then cross each other again like automatons with used springs. Sometimes, making the scene even more incomprehensible, humans coming from the real world walk through the middle of the group. Maids, arms heavy with sheets and towels, patter from one bungalow to the next inside the the huge country residence, and the gardeners and technicians, in black tee-shirts sporting the words "Omega Institute", climb up the path in small electric cars, avoiding the strange sleepwalkers without a second glance.

There you go. I hope this helps, I don't know hebrew...

Learning a language

Learning a new language is very difficult, but necesary. Everyone knows that the world speaks english. In my country very few people speak english, but there are international companies that require workers with the ability to speak english for comercial engagements with other countries.
