| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Sherah: The Sea of Galilee is called הכנרת in Hebrew. |
| Amir: It is the lowest freshwater lake on earth. |
| Sherah: That’s right - it’s 686 feet below sea level and in the summer it’s quite hot there because the elevation is so low.. |
| Amir: Historically, the Sea of Galilee was a very important place, especially for travelers. |
| Sherah: And in the Bible it was mentioned many times in conjunction with Jesus and his life. |
| Amir: The largest city on the Sea of Galilee is Tiberias. Tiberias became a very important city when the Romans banned the Jews from Jerusalem. |
| Sherah: Today, the Sea of Galilee is a big tourist attraction for foreigners. |
| Amir: It’s also a great place for outdoor recreation for Israelis. |
| Sherah: Yes, and recently, many bicycle pass have been put in so you can ride all the way around the lake. |
| Amir: Another fun thing that happens at the Sea of Galilee every year is a very large swimming event where swimmers can cross the lake from shore to shore. |
| Sherah: That’s an open swimming event where you can swim 1.5 kilometers or 3.5 kilometers across the lake. |
| Amir: I even did it once when I was a child. They hold it every September. |
| Sherah: Sounds like fun! Okay, now onto the vocab. |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Sherah: Let's take a closer look at the usage of some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first word is.. |
| Amir: טיול |
| Sherah: meaning "trip" |
| Sherah: טיול is Hebrew for “walk”, “journey” and “trip”. |
| Amir: It can also mean an “excursion” or “outing”. |
| Sherah: This can be used to describe an evening walk around the neighborhood which is a טיול בשכונה. |
| Amir: Or it could be a “hiking trip” which is a טיול בשטח. |
| Sherah: Or a work trip which is a טיול בעבודה. |
| Amir: Or even a trip around the world which is a טיול סביב העולם. |
| Sherah: Okay, what's the next word? |
| Amir: להצטרף |
| Sherah: meaning "to join" |
| Sherah: This verb is part of the reflexive verb group called התפעל |
| Amir: It’s irregular because the root letters aren't easily adapted to the התפעל verb form. |
| Sherah: It can be used with both people and things. |
| Amir: We saw the infinitive form in the dialogue. |
| Sherah: I think the best time to use it is when you hear that someone is going someplace fun or doing something fun. You can then ask them if you can join them. |
| Amir: You would say אפשר להצטרף? |
| Sherah: Can you give us an example using this word? |
| Amir: Sure. For example, you can say.. אתם רוצים להצטרף לטיול שלנו? |
| Sherah: .. which means "Do you want to join our outing?" Okay, now on to the grammar. |
Lesson focus |
| Sherah: In this lesson, you will learn to make a plan to meet for a trip with a friend. When you’re learning prepositions in Hebrew, you can’t draw a line between the Hebrew prepositions and a counterpart in English. |
| Amir: That’s right - certain prepositions used in Hebrew can mean different things in English. |
| Sherah: For example, the preposition -ב in Hebrew can be translated as “on”, “at”, “with”, “by” or even “in”. |
| Amir: This depends on the context and the verb it’s used with. |
| Sherah: The preposition -ב attaches to the word that follows it. |
| Amir: And when there’s a definite article in front of the noun, -ב combines with it and it becomes -ב (ba-) |
| Sherah: We saw this in the dialogue when Idan tells Hadas he wants to go on a trip to the Sea of Galilee. |
| Amir: He says אני רוצה לעשות טיול בכינרת |
| Sherah: בכינרת means “at the Sea of Galilee”. This answers the question “where?” |
| Amir: In the next line, Hadas asks בסוף השבוע |
| Sherah: Yes, she asks “on the weekend?” and this answers the question “when?” |
| Amir: The next sample from the dialogue also answers the question “when?”. Idan tells Hadas אני רוצה לצאת מוקדם בבוקר יום שישי |
| Sherah: Here the phrase בבוקר uses the preposition -ב and means “in the morning”. |
| Amir: The last sample phrase we want to talk about is when Hadas says בכיף. |
| Sherah: This means “happily” or “in fun”. |
| Amir: This demonstrates how using -ב can turn a noun into an adverb. |
| Sherah: Another commonly used example of this is the adverb בשמחה. |
| Amir: שמחה is a noun meaning “happiness” and when you add -ב to it, it becomes “happily”. |
| Sherah: Another adverb example is במהירות meaning “quickly”. Let’s hear some examples. |
| Amir: The first example is: הבית של שרה בתל אביב |
| Sherah: This means “Sara’s house is in Tel Aviv”. |
| Amir: The next example is: דורון עושה יום כיף בים. |
| Sherah: Meaning “Doron is having a fun day at the beach”. |
| Amir: The last example is: הבנות רוצות לאכול במסעדה. |
| Sherah: Which means “The girls want to eat at a restaurant”. |
Outro |
| Sherah: Okay, that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening, everyone, and we’ll see you next time! Bye! |
| Amir: תודה |
