Enjoy the fact that you're stopping through prayers to really appreciate
their meaning.  That is more important than just davening without
knowing what you're doing (is this a new thread?) Anyway, don't wait to
start the conversational -- do it for the new year.   It will pull it
all together much faster and you'll love it!  Trust me!
Kol tuv,

Thanks so much, Meris. I've been able to read fairly well for years, and
occasionally a light bulb would go on during a service or a song and I'd
realize what it meant. However, I love words, so just ferreting out the
roots from words  that have prefixes and suffixes has been a ball. The
only
(temporary) down side is that I keep stopping in the middle of a prayer
to
analyze words and decipher meanings!

I do hope to go on to Modern Hebrew, after I get more proficient with
this
stuff.

All the best,
Jackie G.
