Patrons Andrew, Alex, Angela, Barak, Beth, Jack, and Marty talked about all kinds of things - business trips, that crazy guy, long winters, challenges, and James Taylor. To sum it up, Guy ends with a story of his own travels in Nazareth and Tsvat.      

StreetWise Hebrew patrons in California, France, Austria, New York and more chat to our host Guy Sharett here in Tel Aviv. One of them has a son about to start his law studies at Yale University, so they discuss different ways of saying how proud we are of our children, including the important Hebrew word "nachat" ("naches" in Yiddish), meaning something like "proud pleasure." Guy then discusses the new language being used by Tel Aviv's politically correct plumbers; when they call you and want to talk to your husband or wife, they now ask "ha-bat-zug o ha-ben-zug ba-bayit?" - "is your female/male partner at home?" And the group talks about what dreams Guy has for the podcast, including the book he's working on. Guy says future plans "mitbashlim" - they're being "cooked" (as we say in Hebrew) - and that he has some "shiurei bayit" (homework) to do...   Exclusive Content for Patrons

This week Guy does something a little bit different. He's joined in the studio by Grego Villalobos, an interpreter for the European Institutions in Brussels, originally from Peru. He also happens to be learning Hebrew, so he's an avid Streetwise Hebrew listener. This was a great opportunity for Guy to engage with a listener; to find out how Grego uses the podcast, what he finds most difficult about Hebrew, and to allow Grego to ask him questions. Grego also gives us a demonstration of simultaneous interpretation: Guy speaks in English while Grego translates into Spanish. Impressive! Music: Marina Maximilian Blumin - Ani Holechet
