Who is he and he is she and me is who

Until David and I can resume Ulpan which will probably be in March, we are learning as much Hebrew as we can on our own.  We're using Pimsleur, and I can't say enough good things about this learning method.  It works!  I taught myself basic French using Pimsleur and after a few 30-minute lessons knew enough Hebrew to ask:

Excuse me, where and say the street name?  or
Where is the hotel?
Where is the restroom?
and to comfortably say:  I don't understand Hebrew.  or
Do you speak English?  or
You are talking too fast.  or
I want something to drink. or
I want to eat something. and more importantly
I want to eat something, NOW.

You would not believe how often I have used those little phrases.  This is only the first part of Level I, and there are 30 lessons each level so by the time you finish level III you would be considered a high-level intermediate speaker.

The Pimsleur method creates conversations that you can actually use.  In fact, one evening after doing a Pimsleur lesson, someone called on the phone and spoke to me in Hebrew.  I was able to use the exact wording of the lesson we just practiced to respond to the caller, at which time she kindly switched to English.  Pimsleur has almost any language you want to learn even Swahili, and you can go online and just download the programs.  It's much better than Rosetta Stone, and cheaper too.

Anyway, enough of the Pimsleur commercial -- I should get a commission or something.  Ulpan has a very old-fashioned way of teaching Hebrew, similar to how we studied Spanish/French in school and didn't learn the language at all.  Everyone we've met who has graduated from Ulpan is still uncomfortable with Hebrew and they don't speak it well.  We've met English speakers who been here 5+ years and still don't know Hebrew.

At Ulpan we started learning our pronouns and it got kind of confusing.  In Hebrew who means he and he means she and me is who.  So David and I had a conversation that went kind of like this:

Him:  What is the Hebrew word for who?

Me:  Me.

Him:  What about you?

Me:  No, the Hebrew word for who is me.

Him:  Okay then, what is he?

Me:  Hu is he.

Him:  Who are you talking about?

Me:  I'm trying to tell you what hu means in Hebrew.

Him:  What does it mean?

Me:  He, it means he.

Him:  What means he?

Me:  Hu means he and he means she.

Him:  I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
