It was nice to know that if I couldn't figure something out that there was usually a way to comunicat in hebrish, but if I wanted to struggle and not have any help that was also possible

I do not like how they teach hebrew. Not enough info was given at a time and there wasn't enough tests. I definetly feel I need to be tested a lot in order to force myself to learn. NOt enough is stressed on vocab words because most of the lessons involve grammer.
