Hebrew is a beautiful (and frustrating) language

Hebrew is both a beautiful and a frustrating language. It is frustrating because it is not my first language, and I think learning any language that is not your first, will always be frustrating. There are also nuances that are much different in Hebrew than in English, so I can't think one word at a time; there are phrases and parts of speech that have to be just right to make sense in Hebrew. That being said, Hebrew is actually a really beautiful language and sometimes makes a lot of sense, being built from shorashim (roots) and binyanim (structures or buildings) of verbs.

Example (and of course, comments are welcome because obviously my Hebrew is still very basic, and explaining it in English doesn't do it much justice):

The word "shopping" as a noun, is ken-ee-YOOT. The sounds K-N-T are present.

The verb "to buy" is leek-NOTE. The sound is also K-N-T.

The word "mall" as a noun, is ken-YONE. No clear T sound but the K-N combination is there.

The word "shop" or "store" as a noun, is cha-NOOT (the throat cleansing "ch" not like in "cheese"). No clear K sound but the N-T combination is there.

Just the one example for now...will add to it as time goes on. Suggestions welcome :)
