How do I stop 'over-feminizing' my verbs when talking to my Israeli cousins?
I grew up hearing Hebrew here and there, but now that I'm trying to actually speak it with my family, I realize I’m constantly mixing up gendered verb endings, especially when I get nervous.

I’ve bounced between four different language apps and I feel like I'm just memorizing random vocabulary lists without actually learning how to build a sentence.
