Listening to songs in Hebrew and reading the lyrics can help you better 'inhale' new words and idioms in a fun way, and understand Israeli culture. Listen to some of my favourite songs, and read the lyrics. After you grab a dictionary or a googletranslate and understand the words, listen to the song again and again and again.
