The Hebrew word דרך[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/דרך-האינטרנט-2.m4a” /] means path or way, but it also means through. I can’t help but wonder whether through comes from דרך – look at how similar the sounds d and th are, and how the coarse guttural kh sound is how gh used to be pronounced in English. Look at the German durch meaning by, through: these English and German words come from the same root.
So through or via the internet is דרך האינטרנט[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/דרך-האינטרנט-1.m4a” /].
For example:

They met through the internet.
