Hebrew

I have my first quiz on Wednesday. I've been finding it kind of hard to study for. I think I underestimated how hard it would be to learn a new alphabet as well as new vocabulary within this new alphabet.

I mean they've got like 14 vowels. In English (and I think most other Indo-European languages?) we've got like 5 or 6 if you want to count "y." Because some people do.

And the characters are mostly pretty dissimilar from the letters we have in English. I guess I really should have known this coming in. But now that I'm trying to study it, the differences are become extremely apparent. And it's still just the basics. But I'm having a good time with it so as long as it doesn't own my GPA it should be fun anyway.
