Streetwise Hebrew

In Israel you'll come across plenty of people who get carried away, overreact to things, or go over the top. How do you deal with these people? What should you say to them in Hebrew? Guy explains what you should say when you're overcharged for something that should be really cheap, and what you should do with your hands when someone is saying something totally exaggerated.

Today we're getting negative. Double negative, in fact. After some Hebrew words like כלום ("nothing") or אף פעם ("never") we also have to use לא ("no"). So, unlike in English, we use two negation words. Guy takes us through the rules, mentioning English, French and Portuguese as he goes. Oh, and while we're learning, we also get to listen to some beautiful French and Brazilian songs.
