It's not so long ago you were thinking of raids and shelters, so perhaps now it's the right time.

And I find that I'm not scared to try to read a letter in Hebrew and usually surprised that I actually can read it and understand it. What I can't do is skim like I can in English and that's why I often don't bother with the long missives.

It's still possible to learn languages as an adult so you've not deprived them of anything for life.
