Episode 5 - Hebrew Slang

פרק 5 - סלנג בעברית

In this episode of Yalla: Learning Hebrew with Steph, I dive into the world of Hebrew slang. I explore how Arabic and Yiddish have influenced modern Hebrew, explain the varied uses of common slang like "Yalla" and "Balagan," and clarify those tricky phrases where the literal translation differs from colloquial meaning, such as "Al ha'panim" and "Sof ha'derech."
