To lurkers for whom English is a second (or third...) language

[Jacqi A]

Glad to hear from so many VFers! Just communicating is the main thing. My written Hebrew has a strange English quality to it, & some of my Russian born students have copied odd looking words from my lectures only to discover that the words aren't in the dictionary .

I'll be happy to discuss videos in Hebrew. Please visit me! Two Hebrew speaking friends of mine come over for yoga/pilates/stretching once a week & they have trouble with the imagery the instructors use - they take it very literally. Actually these videos would be great in Italian (not that I would understand them).

There was one & it was interesting, but I'm not sure how to search for it. There was also a discussion of walking in Europe vs. North America.
