When you see a word for the first time, how do you say it?
The way we write words,  often does not tell us how to say them.  We do not have many rules to help us.  But we do have some common patterns (things that often work).  You don't have to learn ALL these common patterns, but some of them might help you understand how we usually say words.

פרק ראשון מתכנית הרדיו שלי "שמיים פתוחים" ששודרה ברדיו קול הכנרת. 
שמיים פתוחים היתה תכנית על מוזיקה ועל המסעות שלי ברחבי העולם בתור נוודת מעל עשור.
למרות שהתכנית מיועדת לדוברי עברית שוטפת, אני חושבת שמי שנמצא ברמה בינונית ומעלה, יוכל להנות מהפרקים.

כל שבוע בחרתי נושא אחר וממנו בחרתי את השירים. ובפרק הזה הנושא הוא- אביב
השירים רובם באנגלית או בשפות אחרות. לפעמים  גם עברית חחח

כל שבוע סיפרתי על הרפתקאה אחרת שקרתה לי. כל שבוע סיפור חדש וארץ חדשה. 
בפרק הזה אספר על המדינה קובה.

למי שמתקשה- יש לי את כל הטקסטים כתובים ואשמח לשלוח לכם כדי שתאזינו ותקראו באותו זמן. בהצלחה
אני מקווה שתהנו, כי אני מאוד נהניתי לשדר.
