Abstract
This chapter summarizes the interviews conducted in different schools. Students are generally satisfied, but differences were found in the motivation of the students of Russian and Amharic and that of the students of French and Spanish. While for the first group it is important to maintain the family language, the others study the language because they were exposed to its popular aspects.
The teachers of the four languages are mostly satisfied teaching at Israeli schools, but have difficulty in coping with teaching methods and educational environments. In this case too, there was a difference between the teachers of the heritage languages, who often taught before emigrating, and the teachers of the foreign languages, for whom teaching was mostly a new profession.
