Module 12/Page 1 Hebrew Communications - Examples This module introduces several sample scenarios in order to illustrate verbal Hebrew communications between individuals. Each example will start with the Hebrew text, which will be followed by its transliteration, its translation, and listings of new vocabulary contained in it. In most cases, previously defined vocabulary will not be included in each example, except when it is part of an idiom or expression that is being introduced for the first time. Individual examples may also contain relevant explanatory notes to help clarify context and notational items.
