A more authentically-Hebrew expression is עובר מסך[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/עובר-מסך-#.m4a” /], meaning that a person looks good on camera. It means literally passes (the) screen. For example: [audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/עובר-מסך-#.m4a” /]איך אני נראה לקראת הראיון? עובר מסך? How do I look for…
