| Katja: (SLOW) חופשה (chufsha) (REGULAR) חופשה (chufsha) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "no place like home." |
| Katja: אין כמו בבית (ein kmo babayit) |
| John: This famous saying from the book and the movie The Wizard of Oz is often said by Hebrew speakers upon returning from vacation, as a way of comforting themselves. Listen again - "no place like home" is... |
| Katja: (SLOW) אין כמו בבית (ein kmo babayit) (REGULAR) אין כמו בבית (ein kmo babayit) |
| John: All together, it’s "It was an amazing vacation, but really there's no place like home!" |
