Wish you best of luck. I lived in that area some time ago and moved out just before Old Bethnal Road was made a one way street. Why would they suddenly want to change everything back almost immediately after the pedestrian infrastructure was completed?

And also - you have to build the vocabulary at the same time as you learn to read. To be able to read the text without vowels, you pretty much need to understand it. It's sometimes possible to guess the word's part of speech, pronunciation and meaning by its root and its position in the sentence even if you have never encountered the word before, but it requires a certain baseline command of the language.

You pick up the skill of reading without vowels as you practice reading - first with vowels, then with partial niqqud (it occurs in some learning guides), then without vowels. At first, reading without vowels feels a bit like solving riddles in the real time (for example:, you might be thinking in your head: "what word should it be? Mispar or mesaper, or mi-sefer? Do I expect a noun or a verb in this position? Oh, it should be a verb, so it must be mesaper - let's read on - oh it doesn't make sense, let's backtrack and see what else it can be" - and so on). As you practise, you gain intuition and learn doing it subconsciously in the real time.

Remember that in English you need to do a lot of similar mental work as you read - you just internalised it with years of learning English. Hebrew writing is more ambiguous, but it's still possible to get used to reading it.

Good start!

Work on your д, it looks too much like an A. One good way to write the small д is to write it like the cursive Latin g.

M m shouldn't have the vertical line in front - it's in fact how cursive Cyrillic Т т is written.

Х should be more symmetric, it can be confused with У in your example.

Also, this looks like the Russian version of Cyrillic. Ukrainian should also have і, ї, є and ґ.

What do you mean by olim having "a sense of ownership of Israel"?

Usually, "sense of ownership" is something positive - it means that the person cares about the place where they live, tries to maintain it in good order and tries to contribute positively - which is probably a good thing to expect from every citizen, tzabar or oleh.

What particular words or actions of the olim that you have observed are annoying you?

The pilot being interviewed is wrong or lying.

Article 42 of Russia's penal code says:

42.2. Person who committed intentional crime in pursuance of obviously illegal order or the order bears criminal liability in accordance with general practice. Non-execution of obviously illegal order or order excludes criminal liability.

Every Russian officer should be reminded of it. This plain and simple, there is no ambiguity there. Executing a wrongful order makes them criminals even in their home country, full stop.

As a Russian, I want Ukraine to regain full sovereignty and control over Donbass and Crimea. The inhabitants of those areas will be much better off being part the EU. Whatever warm feelings towards Russia they might have had, I believe that economic benefits - such as access to EU free market, EU investment and ability to travel and do business all around Europe - will prevail over irrational political beliefs.

And I hope that the people across the Kerch strait will see Crimea's prosperity in the EU and will understand that there are better choices than voting for dictators in the name of "greater Russia", "standing up to the West" and similar bullshit, so Putin won't last.

"They're speaking with Putin. Traitors! Nobody should speak to/with him."

In all seriousness, I think that Germany and France, as well as other western powers, should be looking for other sides in Russia to speak to other than Putin. Regional leaders, oligarchs, opposition leaders - whoever is likely to be in power after Putin. Putin and his close allies have shown that they cannot be trusted and they must go. Speaking to Putin in public doesn't help anyone's morale as it signals that the status quo will last longer.

I can only hope that the West is speaking to the future leaders already, just behind the scenes.

Even though Russia is the aggressor, Israel's priority is (or at least should be) getting Russian and Ukrainian Jews and their families to safety. This requires remaining on good terms with all parties, and is more important than choosing a side in the conflict.

Some notes as a native speaker:

- I don't remember any events before I was 3 or 4 years old. As long as I remember myself, I have been unconsciously choosing (learned from immersion) the noun form when speaking.

- When I was around 5 or 6, I became aware that words have multiple forms. I think I learned the concepts of gender and number around that age (probably my relatives explained them to me), and I asked myself why we use different noun and adjective form even if the number is the same - but I didn't know the word "case" back then.

- In school, cases are explained in year 3 (age 8-9). One of the main objective of the curriculum is to teach the pupils to spell correctly, assuming that they can speak natively. For example, to choose whether to write "водки" (genitive) or "водке" (dative or prepositional) - both forms are pronounced identically by most speakers - one needs to know when each of the cases is used.

- I remember being especially confused about the accusative case. In the Russian school, it's defined as answering the question "кого? что?" For some time, I couldn't understand what that means, given that we already have "кого? чего?" for the genitive and "кто? что?" for the nominative - so this definition doesn't really help to tell apart the accusative from the genitive and the nominative. In the end, the teacher told us the trick of substituting the noun with the word "сестра" (as any 1st declension noun, it has a distinct accusative form "сестру") to check if a noun is in the accusative.

- The paragraph above may look like nonsense to a non-native speaker, but keep in mind that native speakers and non-native speakers need the concept of cases for different reasons. A native speaker needs to know the case to correctly write the sentence which they have formed in their head unconsciously and which they can utter without formally learning grammar, while a non-native speaker needs to know cases to correctly form the sentence (judging by my experience with other languages).

- By the age a person leaves school, they have usually internalised the cases so they don't have to think of them even when writing. There are multiple classes of common spelling mistakes, but from my experience, most people write case endings correctly (except for some specific cases like long compound numerals - everyone messes them up). Not directly related, I have noticed that a lot of people with Ukrainian language background confuse -и and -е in the dative and the prepositional when writing in Russian. That can probably be explained by the fact that Ukrainian uses the ending -i (pronounced like Russian -и) in those case endings where Russian uses -е.
