| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Sherah: Getting a higher education is very important in Israel. |
| Amir: Most people consider a first rate degree to be essential in finding a job. |
| Sherah: There are eight different universities in Israel to choose from. |
| Amir: And many colleges as well. |
| Sherah: The first three Israeli universities were actually created before the modern State of Israel came to be, during the British Mandate. |
| Amir: The first University was the Technion, the University I attended. |
| Sherah: What a coincidence! I believe it was created in 1912, right? |
| Amir: That’s right - it was pivotal in determining the direction universities would take in terms of the instructional language. |
| Sherah: Yes, there was a discussion about what language they would use, and it it was between Hebrew and German. |
| Amir: In the end, they chose Hebrew and that helped encourage the use of Hebrew in general in Israel, and in universities in the future. |
| Sherah: The second University was Hebrew University in Jerusalem and that was founded in 1925. |
| Amir: It was followed by the Weizmann Institute in 1934. |
| Sherah: After the State of Israel was established, five more universities were founded. |
| Amir: This includes the largest of all the universities, Tel Aviv University. |
| Sherah: Okay, now onto the vocab. |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Sherah: Let's have a closer look at the usage of some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first word is.. |
| Amir: ההוא |
| Sherah: meaning "that" |
| Sherah: When Hadas asked where the administration building was, the man she asked responded with בבניין ההוא. |
| Amir: You use this phrase when you’re referring to a specific object. |
| Sherah: When the object is a feminine noun, you would use ההיא. |
| Amir: The phrase is made of two parts, the definite article -ה and the pronoun הוא or היא. |
| Sherah: The two together mean “that”. |
| Amir: Or “that one”. |
| Sherah: Can you give us an example using this word? |
| Amir: Sure. For example, you could say.. הוא אוכל במסעדה ההיא |
| Sherah: ...which means "He’s eating at that restaurant." Okay, now onto the grammar. |
Lesson focus |
| Sherah: In this lesson, you will learn to register as a new student at a University using the verb צריך. |
| Amir: In Hebrew, like in other languages, you use certain modal verbs to modify the meaning of a second verb. They can also be used to express some sort of obligation. |
| Sherah: The verb צריך is used in both ways in our dialogue. |
| Amir: The first time we see צריך, it’s combined with the verb ללכת in the infinitive. |
| Sherah: Hadas says אני צריכה ללכת לשם meaning “I need to go there”. |
| Amir: This is the feminine singular version of צריך which she uses because she is a woman. |
| Sherah: The second time we see this verb is when Hadas is talking with the clerk in the administration office. |
| Amir: There she says מה עוד אתה צריך? |
| Sherah: Here she uses the masculine singular form. |
| Amir: That’s because she is addressing a male clerk. |
| Sherah: So let’s go over the four forms of צריך. |
| Amir: First is the base form, the masculine singular form, which is צריך. |
| Sherah: Next is the feminine singular form. |
| Amir: That is צריכה |
| Sherah: Next is the masculine plural. |
| Amir: צריכים |
| Sherah: And last is the feminine plural. |
| Amir: צריכות |
| Sherah: This verb is somewhat irregular and follows the same pattern as adjectives. |
| Amir: The third time we see this verb used is when the clerk responds to Hadas by saying אני צריך אישור ששילמת. |
| Sherah: Here again the masculine singular form was used. |
| Amir: That’s because it’s the clerk speaking in first person. |
| Sherah: So let’s hear some more examples of this verb used in action. Can you start us off with the first one? |
| Amir: Sure, the first sample sentence is היא צריך מעיל חדש |
| Sherah: This means “he needs a new coat” and uses the masculine singular form of the verb. |
| Amir: הילדה צריכה כוס מיים |
| Sherah: Which means “The girl needs a glass of water”. Here the feminine singular version of the verb is used because it agrees with ילדה a feminine noun. |
| Amir: And last is הם צריכים לשון |
| Sherah: “They need to sleep”. This used the masculine plural form agreeing with הם. |
Outro |
| Sherah: Okay, that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening, everyone, and we’ll see you next time! Bye! |
| Amir: תודה |
