The Hebrew word אישור can mean to "green light" a new project. So what does a friend request on social media have to do with it? Guy explains.
As part of our podcast's 8th birthday celebrations, we are giving all Streetwise Hebrew podcast listeners $50 USD towards Ruben Adery's full Hebrew pronunciation course. The course consists of 4 modules, 31 high-definition videos, and a bonus vowel audio course with 400+ common daily practice words.
Check out the course material and have the $50 discount applied automatically at to tlv1.fm/happy8
