Sometimes you don't actually know or understand any Hebrew at all. "Shahlohm!"
Being an American studying in an Israeli university one automatically takes some courses in Hebrew language (Ulpan). Many Israelis, for the most part being ignorant of this fact or assuming you are too incompetent to learn the language, will speak about you directly in front of your face. Rather then being insulted, I recommend seizing this opportunity as a chance to learn what people think about you and your actions. Also, the apparent confusion on your face will often make getting through everyday security considerably easier, so long as you have your student ID.
