את shows a DEFINITE direct object. אני רואה ילד = I see a boy אני רואה את הילד = I see the boy In your case chumus is a subject and not a direct object, and I would have said it without את.

Я пошла на прогулку вчера и сфотографировала одно из самых высоких деревьев в районе. Погода стала теплее после Рождества. (Правильно, я бы сказала "после Рождества потеплело") С тех пор, к несчастью, снег растаял. Завтра в канун Нового года, мы пойдём к нашей сестре. (Я иду к своей сестре, но мы идем к нашей сестре. Я беру свою книгу (ОДНУ), мы берем свои книги (МНОГО). А в твоем примере сестра одна, а вас много, то есть наоборот) Это будет небольшая вечеринка. Просто вечер настольных игр с несколькими друзьями. Новый год здесь гораздо менее значимый праздник, чем Рождество. У нас нет никаких особенных традиций, даже связанных с едой. Я помню только два уникальных случая в прошлом. Все помнят 2000 год (хотя я была маленькой) и в прошлом году моя двоюродная сестра вышла замуж в канун Нового года.

You've made a great point about a 4 year old, my son is 4 years old and he just makes mistakes :D Because there are exceptions and he speaks by examples he heard. That's the first point, the second one is that adult native speakers also make mistakes, for example, a common one is about singular of shoes, I hear often "один сандаль" but the correct form is "одна сандалия". Also I remember that we had a topic in school, like, Nouns ending with "ь" are mostly feminine "ночь, дрожь, мышь, дочь", the ones ending with "o" are neutral "окно, облако, молоко", maybe be you can look for these rules. And the last one, I'm studying German and I found these kind of rules with endings of the nouns, I learn new words with an article (you can learn with an adjective in Russian) or I just use an incorrect form :D

chatGPT Plus, for 20$/month you have everything, and that's much cheaper than paying a person. It has a voice feature that works great, it also writes a transcript of what you say and you can later ask it to correct it or improve. It remembers what you asked for whether it is an exam preparation or the way you wanna have your Feedback or topics that you're interested in. I made separate chats for different purposes. For example, there is one where I send new words and it sends me back a table with a definition, example sentence, level and common usage forms. Or in another I send a list of words and it sends me back a text with fill in the blanks, made of these words. Honestly, it does need a little bit improvement, sometimes you need to ask a few times to get it exactly as you want, but it's ridiculous to think that it can't replace a teacher, you just need to learn how to ask it and also the pace of its improvement is astonishing.

In my opinion Hadar is a brilliant teacher and explains it great! https://youtu.be/Y3OKnbAaWSs
