I'LL TELL YOU A STORY ABOUT A MAN CALLED BILL: a heblish by Lee Berman: episode 9
 

how to read this text

translation episode 9
 



instructions

A heblish is an English text written exclusively with Hebrew words. You read it in Hebrew, but you understand it in English. N.B. This heblish is based on contemporary Israeli Hebrew pronunciation, in which, for example, the letter he (representing the h sound) is very rarely pronounced.

If you have no Hebrew, read the translation. If that's not clear enough, you can consult the retransliteration.
