Tired of Israelis switching to English the moment you speak? Learn why it happens and the friendly, stress-free phrase that gets them speaking Hebrew with you. Examples from the episode: אפשר שנדבר בעברית? (Efshar she-nedaber be-Ivrit? - Can we speak in Hebrew?) אפשר לדבר קצת יותר לאט? (Efshar ledaber ktzat yoter le'at? - Is it possible to speak a bit slower?) Building the Conversation (The Bridge): מה נשמע? (Ma nishma? - How's it going? / What's up? and more) הכול טוב? (Hakol tov? – Everything good?) יום עמוס היום, אה? (Yom amus hayom, ah? – Busy day today, huh?) How to Exit Smoothly: תודה, אחלה יום:-) (Toda, Akhla yom - Thanks! Have a great day)
