Hi all, I'm new to the forum
My husband and I just moved to Tel Aviv and we have almost no Hebrew (beyond basic greetings, a handle on the aleph-bet, and how to say "I don't speak Hebrew"), and I am eager to learn the language. I'm finding the most disorienting thing not being able to read signs or understand what people are saying on loudspeakers--it's actually more frustrating than the things people usually complain about in Israel!
For those of you that didn't know the language of your country before you arrived, how long did it take yo to become fairly fluent? I am almost thirty, so I'm afraid my skills at learning languages are not quite what they once where and I worry that I wont ever be fluent!
Any personal stories about learning language would be appreciated.
