The Biggest Challenges for Israeli Students Learning English: How to Overcome Them?
She has valid points but it cracks me up that she says at the top of the article make English teachers learn Israeli as if Israeli is the languague of native Israelis and not Hebrew
As far as I know there's no such language as Israeli
@JudieLC Israelis' speak Arabic and/or Hebrew and probably some other languages Any of those could be "Israeli"..

I don't know what you mean
Israelis speak Hebrew
There are people in Israel who speak Arabic and other languages just as there are people in the US who speak Spanish and other languages
I had an great uncle in Israel who only spoke Arabic and French
Israelis use words borrowed from Arabic,English,French and other languages but that doesn't make it Arabic Hebrew
Any more than speaking a combination of English and Hebrew makes it English Hebrew
Nor would a combination of English and Spanish be called English Spanish except when it's jokingly called Spanglish
I never heard anyone call the language most Israelis speak Israeli rather than Hebrew
PS The backward formatting is making my sentences look a little crazy
@JudieLC Sorry, I missed a word in my comment, that makes it incorrect. I corrected it now, thanks! This forum is supposed to be for people who know Hebrew and communicate in Hebrew. Everything's weird for me, back-to-front for English, maybe we need an other way button for the Arabic and Hebrew forums. I suppose Arabic has the same problem when people try to practice English over there.
I have to admit I'm used to the two direction problem, so I wasn't actually complaining about it
It happens to me when I communicate with my Israeli friends in Hebrew, as I don't bother to change the direction of my keyboard
