Rachel Comes to Israel

Once upon a time there was a little girl who grew up in New York City. She spoke Hungarian and Hebrew at home and English outside of her home. She was freindly and loved making friends.

By the time Rachel was 10 she had already lived in three countries.

She was already exposed to four languages: Hungarian, Hebrew, German and English.

By the time she finally got used to one language she needed to adjust to a new one.

And to a new address in a different country as well.

No one asked her if she liked moving to new countries new schools and new societies.

It simply happened.

The children in her age group were very different in each country, having different mannerisms and different dress codes.
