----- Original Message ----- From: Aharon Family - aharonmk@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Spik dis vay to Izraeleez, says study Is anyone seriously suggesting that we speak to our pupils in a fake Israeli accent? Even if we could do the accent properly, which most of us probably can't, how will they ever learn to speak correctly? They need to learn English in order to communicate with non-Hebrew speakers, so what would be the point? I think it's important to expose them to different native English accents (American, British, etc.) - those are the accents they need to understand.
