I am a native English speaker, trying to improve my Hebrew. I would be interested in practicing together.

I am from the US, but I believe that in the UK they sometimes use "smart" to mean "elegant" or "stylish." Example: "She was wearing a smart outfit."

For someone you don't know, either "regards" or "sincerely" is fine. I don't think "sincerely" is used much anymore. I see "regards" all the time. If you want to make it a warmer closing, you can add a modifier, for example, "warm regards" or "best regards."

Boker tov,
how does the group work? I've never used whatsapp before. Do we pick a time to chat?

Basically it means, "it's not about you; please don't be offended." Example: "don't take this personally, but I prefer my mother's cooking."

It is more conversational than formal; also, it's a much stronger form of disagreement than just saying "I disagree."

Yiddish language
Hello, I am interested in learning Yiddish. I don't see any teachers of this language listed, and there doesn't seem to be a way to filter the language partner search to look for Yiddish speakers. Please contact me if you know Yiddish and would like to share your knowledge. I can help with English (native speaker) and Spanish (near fluent). I am also learning Hebrew, and am at a low intermediate level for conversation. Thanks in advance!
