how to say “media player” in Hebrew

For those of you familiar with the Hassidic (Chassidische) world, you probably know the word for melody – נִגּוּן (Modern Hebrew: nee-GOON; Ashkenazi pronunciation: NIH-gihn).

The root of this word is נ.ג.נ (n.g.n). Likewise, the word for musician – as well as the 20th century Hebrew word for media player of various kinds – is (nah-GAHN).
 
Why do I mention this now? Not only because of all the concerts going on… but also to let you know about my Hebrew Music Show in English, on RustyMike Radio. 
 
 
 
My show airs today (Monday) from 3-4pm Israel time, during which I’ll be playing songs that grow in their sophistication tracing the linguistic growth that takes place in the Ulpan La-Inyan course progression.
 
But don’t worry about getting lost… I’m there to explain the Hebrew and the linguistics (well, to an extent). 


In any case… I hope to see you online!
