Lesson 38 - At the Clothing Store

Wow!  Eran has certainly had some big time things going on lately. Just last week, he moved to a new apartment.  And tonight . . . a very important dinner.  An event like this one calls for the perfect outfit, so it’s time to go . . . shopping!!

Israel has an incredibly varied array of shopping possibilities.  Some prefer et ha-shuk ha-Aravi in Jerusalem’s Old City.  Some look for bargains at Yafo’s shuk ha-pishpeshim.  And some prefer big, modern shopping malls like Kanyon Ayalon in Ramat Gan.  (Check out the Hebrew word for mall--kanyon.  It’s actually a play on the Hebrew word kana--to buy--and the English word canyon.  Clever!)  But for a momentous occasion like Eran has tonight, he needs something truly special.  So maybe he should consider one of the exclusive boutiques on Kikar Ha-medina.

As we join Eran on his shopping excursion, we’ll get to learn some shopping- and clothing-related words.  We’ll also take the next step on our preposition expedition.  And, of course, we’ll learn the reason why Eran must look yafe kmo nasich--as handsome as a prince--this evening.

Don’t worry, Eran . . . we know you’ll make a great impression!
be-hazzlacha!
