It's not easy

Sent to Dr. Hannah Joy actually blogging on JP

Dr. Hannah, except for children, there is no clearer meaning encoded in daily Hebrew language than the despair older Olim Hadashim feel when trying to communicate something (something they consider important). I will provide you evidences of that at the end of my text of comment. Israelis do not appreciate the timing of communication used by the Olim Hadashim. I am convinced of that. They don't have patience enough. You know, it takes some more seconds to pick some words out and to construct some phrases (using nonverbal forms of expression and signs of course, mainly for those difficult abstract verbs), and besides that that terrible accent…! If you don't speak Fast Current Israeli Hebrew Language, you are hopefully condemned to be understood very partially (so take care in hospitals to perform surgery of proper kidney and in institutions of government, to pay the right tax).

In true there are some higher level Israelis who have patience enough to listen to you and to try to make sense of your mess. Some Israelis even teach you, correcting you. But, unfortunately, there is one like this in a group of ten, I suppose (and never in governmental institutions, for sure). I think everybody have forgotten that this country was built by Olim Hadashim. Now, the evidences I promised you: call (03) 9114998 or 199 (there are many other examples). Have you noticed? Olim Hadashim are not in need anymore here! Go learn Fast Current Israeli Hebrew Language to survive BaHaretz, Doctor. No English language…no French language…no Russian language...no Spanish language…
