להירשם
 
On the occasion of the upcoming session of Ulpan La-Inyan (in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv!!!!), today’s dose of Hebrew is לְהֵרָשֵׁם (le-heh-rah-SHEM) – to register. 
 
For example, you might say something like אֲנִי כָּל כַּךְ רוֹצֶה/רוֹצָה להירשם לַקּוּרְס שֶׁל אוּלְפָּן לָעִנְיָן! (ah-NEE kohl KAHKH roh-TSEH/roh-TSAH le-heh-rah-SHEM lah-KOORSS shel ool-PAH lah-een-YAHN) – I (masculine/feminine) so want to register an Ulpan La-Inyan course! (literally, “the course of Ulpan La-Inyan).
