Practice Hebrew at a Networking Event
Networking events in Hebrew blend small talk and professional purpose: you have 5 minutes per conversation to introduce yourself, find something interesting in common, and exchange contacts. This scenario rehearses the elevator pitch in Hebrew, asking and answering 'What do you do?' professionally, and the graceful pivot to exchanging LinkedIn or business cards. You'll practise the assertive-but-friendly register that works at industry events, and the follow-up email language for the next morning.
