| Anna: Ken, aval maħar ani ozevet. I’ ef’shar lehiyot be-yaħad kol yom yoter. |
| Anna: Yes, but tomorrow I'm leaving. It’s not possible to be together every day anymore. |
| אופיר: אני יודע. אבל נפגש כל שבוע, נכון. |
| Ofir: Ani yode’a, aval nipagesh kol shavu’a, nakhon? |

| Ofir: Anna, yesh mashehu she-ani rotzeh le-hagid lakh… |
| Ofir: Anna, there's something that I want to tell you... |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Sherah: We can see that volunteering on a kibbutz is not all work. |
| Amir: Anna still gets to go out and see places, and even go to the beach. |
| Sherah: Right, every year around 1,200 people come to Israel as volunteers on the kibbutzim. |
| Amir: It’s a great way to come to Israel as a working tourist. |
| Sherah: Isn’t it? You get to work on a kibbutz, you get a small stipend and you are provided with food and a place to stay. |
| Amir: Yes and it gives you a way to experience Israel from the inside, not just as a tourist. |
| Sherah: Some kibbutzim will incorporate small outings for their volunteers. |
| Amir: And they may have lectures where you can learn about Israeli culture and history. |
| Sherah: There are some that also have Hebrew lessons in an Ulpan, like the one that Anna went to. |
| Amir: And the work can be interesting as well. Different kibbutzim have different focuses. |
| Sherah: Right, on some kibbutzim the work will be more agricultural, on others you may put some time in in a factory and then there are others that focus on tourism. Now let’s move on to the vocabulary for this lesson. |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Sherah: Let’s take a closer look at some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first word that we want to talk about is לבלות. |
| Amir: לבלות means “to spend time”. |
| Sherah: It also means “to have a good time”, it’s always associated with having fun, not just any activity. |
| Amir: It’s part of the פיעל verb group. One word that is derived from the verb is בילוי and this refers to a “recreation” or “pastime”. |
| Sherah: The second word that we want to discuss is להיפגש or “to meet”. |
| Amir: This verb sometimes confuses people, especially people who are just learning the language. It means “to meet” but is usually used for a planned meeting. |
| Sherah: Right, there are two verbs that mean “to meet” and they use the same root. The difference is the verb group that they are a part of. |
| Amir: That is what changes the meaning. להיפגש is part of the נפעל verb group. The other verb is part of the פעל verb group and that is לפגוש. |
| Sherah: לפגוש means “to meet” in the sense of a chance meeting, not planned. |
| Amir: The verb used in the dialogue was להיפגש because Ofir was referring to planned meetings. |
| Sherah: Okay, let’s move on to the Grammar. |
| GRAMMAR POINT |
| Sherah: In this lesson you’ll learn the difference between “all” and “every” in Hebrew. |
| Amir: There are two sample sentences that we want to focus on in this lesson. The first is אני רוצה לבלות ככה כל יום |
| Sherah: Right, Ofir said - “I want to spend every day like this.” The key phrase that we want to talk about is כל יום meaning “every day”. |
| Amir: The second sentence is - כיף להיות איתך כל היום. |
| Sherah: Here Ofir says - “It's fun to be with you all day long.” |
| Amir: He’s kind of being sappy, isn’t he? So, the key phrase from this sentence is כל היום or “all day long” |
| Sherah: Technically, he says “all the day”, but it means “all day long”. |
| Amir: So this is the difference between “all day” and “every day” in Hebrew. Just one little definite article ‘Ha-’ makes the difference in meaning. |
| Sherah: In the dialogue, they also talk about “every week” and “all week long”. |
| Amir: Right, let’s hear those sentences, the first is - אני יודע. אבל נפגש כל שבוע, נכון? “I know, but we will see each other every week, right?” |
| Sherah: Here we have the phrase כל שבוע “every week” |
| Amir: The second sentence is - אני אהיה עסוקה כל השבוע “I will be busy all week long.” |
| Sherah: And here the phrase is כל השבוע or “all week long”. Let’s go over those four phrases again. Listeners, please repeat them after Amir and I. |
| Amir: The first is כל יום [pause] which means “every day”. |
| Sherah: Next is כל היום [pause] “all day” or “all day long”. |
| Amir: Now we have כל שבוע [pause] “every week” |
| Sherah: and last up is כל השבוע [pause] “all week” or “all week long”. |
| Amir: So, now that you have seen the differences between the two and you’ve seen that one little ‘ha-’ can change the entire meaning, we are going to share a few more sample sentences with you. |
| Sherah: Let’s start with - “He gets a paycheck every month.” |
| Amir: הוא מקבל משכורת כל חודש.. |
| Sherah: כל חודש is the key phrase there and it means “every month”. Now let’s hear a sentence with “all month long” כל החודש |
| Amir: הוא עובד קשה כל החודש. |
| Sherah: He works hard all month long. |
| Amir: You can also use the same concept with the word for year שנה |
| Sherah: Right, “every year” is כל שנה |
| Amir: And “all year long” is כל השנה. |
| Sherah: So, that was our lesson on the power of one little definite article ‘heh’. |
Outro |

| Sherah: Ok, that’s all for this lesson, and for this series. We hope you enjoyed it and found it useful, and we’ll see you in another series! |
| Amir: Thanks for being with us, everyone, |
| Sherah: Bye! |
