| Introduction |

| Eric: First, you’ll learn how to ask 'Do you like chocolate?' in Hebrew. |

| Eric: Next is the verb meaning 'Love' |
| Yaara: [Normal] אוהב [Slow] אוהב(ohev) |
| Eric: Last is the noun meaning 'Chocolate' |
| Yaara: [Normal] שוקולד [Slow] שוקולד(shokolad) |
| Eric: Listen again to the phrase meaning 'Do you like chocolate?' |
| Yaara: [Slow] אתה אוהב שוקולד? [Normal] אתה אוהב שוקולד? |
| Eric: Ok, now let's see the informal way to say 'Do you like sweets?' |
| Yaara: [Normal] את אוהבת מתוקים?(at ohevet metukim?) |

| Eric: Last is the noun meaning 'Sweets' |
| Yaara: [Normal] מתוקים [Slow] מתוקים(metukim) |
| Eric: Listen again to the informal phrase meaning 'Do you like sweets?' |
| Yaara: [Slow] את אוהבת מתוקים? [Normal] את אוהבת מתוקים? |
| Eric: Next, we’ll learn how to say 'Yes, very much.' |
| Yaara: [Normal] כן, מאוד.(ken, me'od.) |
| Eric: First is an adverb meaning 'Yes' |
| Yaara: [Normal] כן [Slow] כן(ken) |

| Eric: Finally, we have an informal way to say 'Yes, I love them.' |
| Yaara: [Normal] כן, אני מת עליהם.(ken, ani met alehem.) |
| Eric: First is an adverb meaning 'Yes' |
| Yaara: [Normal] כן [Slow] כן(ken) |
| Eric: Next is the pronoun meaning 'I' |
| Yaara: [Normal] אני [Slow] אני(ani) |
| Eric: Next is the verb meaning 'Die' |
| Yaara: [Normal] מת [Slow] מת(met) |
| Eric: Last is the preposition meaning 'On them' |
| Yaara: [Normal] עליהם [Slow] עליהם(alehem) |

| Yaara: [Slow] כן, אני מת עליהם. [Normal] כן, אני מת עליהם. |
| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Yaara: The verb Le'ehov doesn’t necessarily express romantic feelings. It can express love between a mother and child, or between good friends. Moreover, it can be used to describe one’s likes and dislikes. For example "I like tennis" would be "ani ohev tenis". "No thanks, I don't like pizza" would be "lo toda, ani lo ohev pitza". That’s because in Hebrew, the verb "le'ehov" doesn't necessarily have the same strong connotations or intensity as the verb "to love" has in English. |
