  • #136 Streetwise Hebrew Gets Double Negative
    Oct 6 2026
    Today we're getting negative. Double negative, in fact. After some Hebrew words like כלום ("nothing") or אף פעם ("never") we also have to use לא ("no"). So, unlike in English, we use two negation words. Guy takes us through the rules, mentioning English, French and Portuguese as he goes. Oh, and while we're learning, we also get to listen to some beautiful French and Brazilian songs.
