how to say you have “command of a language” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger
 
We’re in the midst of recruiting for various teaching gigs right now. One of our criteria is command not only of Hebrew, but also of English.
 
We write as a qualification, שְׁלִיטָה מְלֵאָה בְּעִבְרִית וּבְאַנְגְּלִית (shlee-TAH me-leh-AH be-eev-REET oo-ve-ahng-LEET) – full command of Hebrew and English.
 
To express, He has command of English, you’d use the verb form of command, saying in Hebrew, הוּא שׁוֹלֵט באנגלית (hoo shoh-LET be-ahng-LEET). 
 
The infinitive version of שולט is לִשְׁלוֹט (leesh-LOHT) – literally, to rule. It’s a simple (קַל – kahl) verb.
 
 
Our classes start on Sunday… and you can get the pre-deadline price!
 
Last Sunday was the last day to sign up for our courses at the pre-deadline prices.
 
 

 

Tomorrow (Wednesday), however, I’m giving away admission to our courses at pre-deadline prices! 
 
How can you get this deal? Tune in to my Israeli music hour on RustyMike Radio, tomorrow (Wednesday) from 12pm-1pm Israel time, and listen for instructions.
 
See you then…
