| Yaara: For those of you who aren’t only English speakers, you can obviously use this question with any language you need. Most Israeli people study other European languages at school, so maybe you’ll get lucky! Just substitute Anglit with… |
| Rusit for Russian. |
| Italkit for Italian. |
| Sfaradit for Spanish. |
| or Tzarfatit for French. |
