Hello! I'm Emory, and I'm a genderfluid, gray-asexual. I'm 19 and live in the US, but I was born in Israel. I speak Hebrew and English. I play bass and ukulele (stickin' to those 4-stringed instruments for now), and love to read and doodle. Have a great day everyone!

Bass and ukelele are both awesome instruments. You should post some of your doodles to the forum! We're excited to have you!

Hi, Emory! I have cousins in Israel and I spent nine months there when I was 18/19. I loved it, but I've lost most of my progress in Hebrew since then, lol. I'm pretty jealous that you're fluent. And we have a surprising amount of musicians on here, myself included, so get comfortable |

Also, is Hebrew difficult to learn/speak? I really need a new language to learn. Is Hebrew similar to French/Latin/Spanish/Dutch? (Haha bc I speak/understand those  ) |

(Haha bc I speak/understand those ) Hebrew is similar in that words are gendered and such, but it's not a latin language so the words and grammar are pretty different from the latin languages. Idk about how similar to Dutch it is though. Emory might know more though. |

i don't actually know that much about Dutch, French, Spanish, or Latin, but I can say that it does make more sense to me then English does. It uses a lot of roots in words. For example, the root in "write" is present in "script" and in "letter" (letter as in mail), among other words. The downside to learning Hebrew (in my opinion), is that almost every noun, verb, and pronoun of the second or third person is either grammatically masculine or feminine. (lol I stole a lot of that from Wikipedia because I didn't know how to phrase it)
tldr: it can be easy to learn new words once you know more root words, but it can be a problem when non-binary people are being spoken about, because of pronouns

Latin also has a system with roots, French has it in some words. Dutch doesn't, but it also only has 'she' and 'he', no they. Since it's my first language, I am used to not be able to use gender neutral pronouns. |

Learning how to read it is hard though. Because you can learn how to read with vowels, but nothing will be written with the vowels. So it's hard to read anything without being pretty fluent and knowing words so you can just see one and know what it is.
