| POST |

| John: "What a great song!" |
| Katja: (SLOW) איזה שיר מעולה! (eize shir me'ule!) (Regular) איזה שיר מעולה! (eize shir me'ule!) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "what a...." |
| Katja: איזה (eize) |
| John: This expression is similar to saying "what a,” and expresses wonder and amazement. In Hebrew it’s also a question word, but the meaning of it isn't "what" but “which.” Listen again - "what a" is... |
| Katja: (SLOW) איזה (eize) (REGULAR) איזה (eize) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "great, top notch." |
| Katja: מעולה (me'ule) |
| John: This word describes something of good quality and is used also for things you personally enjoy. You can also use it more casually, for instance when deciding on something with a friend and concluding with "okay, great." Listen again - "great, top notch" is... |
| Katja: (SLOW) מעולה (me'ule) (REGULAR) מעולה (me'ule) |
| John: All together, it’s "what a great song!" |
| Katja: איזה שיר מעולה! (eize shir me'ule!) |
