Today we're getting negative. Double negative, in fact. After some Hebrew words like "klum" ("nothing") or "af pa'am" ("never") we also have to use "lo" ("no"). So, unlike in English, we use two negation words. Host Guy Sharett takes us through the rules, mentioning English, French and Portuguese as he goes. Oh, and while we're learning, we also get to listen to some beautiful French and Brazilian songs.

Whether it's telling someone they did well, asking the cost, or lashing out at someone, "yatsata" (from "latset" – to "go out"/"come out") plays an important role in everyday Hebrew slang.
