sono felice di apprendere la lingua ebraica , finalmente. Ho studiato senza insegnanti sul libretto elef milim. Ma nonj è facile: non è ivrit bekalut. Lehitraot haverim oti.

Good information. Just a correction for Number 1, Nice to meet you with נעים , that is a nun, not a mem, so the word is Na-eem, not Ma-eem. Na-eem me-od is an easier way to say very pleased to meet you.

Also, you may want to mention that the verbs and phrases are a little different feminine vs masculine. Ga-rah vs Gar for live. Dina Garah b’New York/דינה גרה בניו יורק. And for giving your age, Ani bat 27 vs Ani ben 27 is feminine vs masculine. דינה בת 27. (Dina is 27 years old)
