In the middle of the market where
I go for my weekly vegetable shopping there is a stall where I buy olives. The
owners of the stall are a husband and wife team who know I am an English
teacher. The other day the wife – let's call her Lily – pointed at lettuce and
asked me:
"What do you call it in
English?" (the exchange took place in Hebrew)
"Lettuce," I replied.
"Letters?" asked Lily.
We then worked on the
pronunciation a little until she got it right. I thought it was time to move on
to new items. I pointed at olives.
