In Yiddish the only way to translate the words is to tell the story behind it. You'll see this illustrated in the book Joys of Yiddish. He explains this with the words Shlimil and Shlimazel. You know from the Laverne and Shirley song. Anyway, a Shlimil is someone who always spills his soup. A Shlimazel is the one he always spills his soup on. Oy! Here's an interesting site where you can test your Yiddish. http://www.bubbygram.com/scripts/popquiz.htm If you like the Rabbis stories than I suggest you study Yiddish.

I’ve made my living as as storyteller (for adults and teens) for more than two decades. However, the ability to think in metaphor is also a learned skill and become easier and easier as time passes and the skill is used. For example, to type this comment, I can now use a keyboard without thinking. Back when I was 16 (almost 30 years ago) and learning to use (gasp!) a typewriter, typing was very hard to do and I thought I would never ever learn it. The other advantage to storytelling is that storytellers do not learn a story word-for-word but rather in episodes, piece by piece. This skill of linking metaphors is also an important life and business skill. Kind regards, Sean http://www.seancoaches.com You are correct in that storytelling is a demanding craft.

It's nice to see you take the approach. This is the focus of most of what's on my blog www.learningatlightspeed.wordpress.com. You can also find a lot of resources for storytelling at www.astd.org.
