The Method

We created our own holistic learning approach that puts language communication skills at the forefront and focuses on how to speak Hebrew in real life.

Three Guiding Principles

Our method focuses, first and foremost, on the most useful, modern, and relevant Hebrew, so you can speak Hebrew confidently and with ease.

Real life hebrew

Everything
is relevant

Our lessons are built upon relevant, everyday dialogues that combine culture with language, lifestyle with art, and proper Hebrew with slang. Using relevant content keeps each class interesting and full of engagement.

Real time dynamics

Fast-paced,
high engagement

Our classes mimic the pace of real-life conversations and are carefully designed to have the right rhythm. We like to surprise you with the unexpected so that you never feel like you’re waiting your turn to speak. The high-energy pace of each class creates a fun environment of trial and error and increases everyone’s participation.

real moments of success

A rewarding process

Let’s be honest. The hardest part about learning a new language is putting it to use and actually being able to speak. Our lessons are designed to keep your motivation high as you develop your speaking muscle with plenty of moments of success along the way. By practicing how to conjugate verbs and use new vocabulary in everyday sentences through active participation, you’ll be gaining immediate value and confidence.
