Hello,

There is an old saying *Translation is  treason*.  The less related two 
languages are, the more that is true.   Sometimes even the simplest 
expressions are difficult to translate adequately.  Having learn to embarass 
my self in a few Indo-European languages, I thought I was prepared for 
learning B-Hebrew. Although I would hardly call myself fluent, it is simply 
amazing how little of the *feel* of the text comes through in English 
translations.
