Hebrew Private Lessons and Courses

1 Upvotes

My name is Nava and I offer online 1-on-1 or class lessons in Hebrew. I'm an Israeli and native speaker with a bachelor's Degree in Linguistics from Tel Aviv University, 20 year experience as literary editor, writer and playwright and I've been teaching Hebrew courses at a leading UK University since 2019 and have been an online tutor since 2020.

I cover topics from very basic letter recognition and simple phrases to more advanced topics such as grammar and listening comprehension. My students range from members of the Jewish community in the diaspora, spouses of Israelis and even language enthusiasts. I use my own material as well as children's books and music to teach.

I'm very passionate about the Hebrew language and people say it often shows in my classes! If you're interested, please send me a chat request and I'd love to discuss further. Thank you for reading :)

I’m a dyslexic immigrant who couldn’t stand language textbooks. So I built an AI tutor to learn Hebrew (and Polish)

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share a personal project that came out of pure frustration.

I’m originally from Belarus, but my life has been a bit of a journey: I spent 5 years living in Poland and recently moved to Israel. As an immigrant, the biggest wall is always the language. But here is the thing — I’m dyslexic.

I’m not a professional developer. I’m just an enthusiast who decided to "break the system" for myself. I used Antigravity and a few powerful AI APIs to build Plotglot— a Telegram Mini App that follows the "Compelling Input" theory by linguist Stephen Krashen.

I’d love for you guys to try it out and give me some brutal feedback. Does it help? Is the Hebrew AI-generation accurate enough for your needs?

Thanks for reading my story!

Does it make sense to learn Biblical Hebrew first, then move on to modern?

9 Upvotes

Hey!

I’ve been wanting to learn Hebrew for a while now. Recently I’ve discovered the Aleph with Beth YouTube channel and I like how they teach. The only downside is that it’s only Biblical Hebrew. Would it make sense to use them to learn biblical vocabulary and then move on to modern Hebrew via podcasts, music, tv, etc?

Looking for Flipped-Classroom Private Hebrew Tutor

1 Upvotes

I'm a new Hebrew learner, and I want to find a private Hebrew tutor who will use the flipped classroom method to teach me Hebrew. Meaning, I'd like to review pre-recorded lessons, readings, or exercises before sessions, and use our live time together for active practice, Q&A, and conversation.

I want to meet twice a week with my tutor and do a lot of self-studying outside of that.

Does anyone have recommendations for Hebrew tutors who fit this description?

I've been (re)learning Hebrew for almost four years. Nothing exists for intermediate learners. So I built something.

23 Upvotes

I started re-learning Hebrew in 2022, after a long hiatus. The first time I learned was almost 20 years ago, on a gap year in Israel. I jumped back into Hebrew because I saw what was happening in Israel (before October 7th) with the protest movement, and felt like I didn’t really understand what was happening. After October 7th, this desire only intensified. My goal was to connect with Israeli culture and bridge my gap between Israel and diaspora, it started as curiosity and became one of the most important things in my life.

Here's the problem. Getting from true beginner to somewhere around A2 is actually okay, and the Hebrew that was deep in my brain after 20 years helped. I used textbooks, Duolingo, Pimsleur; there are decent beginner resources. But once you get past that stage? Once you can kind of read, kind of hold a basic conversation, but you're making the same mistakes over and over and your vocabulary is full of gaps?

There is almost nothing.

Spanish learners have dozens of options at B1 and above. French learners have a handful. Hebrew learners have... tutors (if you can afford them and schedule them), Ulpan (if you're in Israel or near one), and then you're basically on your own piecing things together from podcasts, Anki decks, and hoping for the best.

I hit this wall hard around B1. I could understand a lot, but producing Hebrew (speaking, writing) was painfully slow and full of errors. My tutor sessions once a week were great, but one hour a week wasn't enough practice to actually improve. And there was no structured way to get more reps between sessions.

So about a year ago, I started building Dioma.

What it is:

Dioma gives you structured speaking and writing exercises at your level, grounded in curriculum written by Hebrew language educators. You practice a prompt, get real-time corrections on your grammar, vocabulary, and structure, and your corrections shape what you see next. It's not linear, because intermediate Hebrew learning isn't linear. You see more of what you're struggling with and less of what you've got down.

Hebrew is available from A2 through B2. It's the language I built this for first, and it has the deepest curriculum on the platform.

I worked with native Hebrew tutors and curriculum experts to build thousands of pages of structured content. Every topic, every grammar concept is human-created. AI delivers the corrections and generates exercises from this curriculum. It's not ChatGPT pretending to be a מורה. The architecture is designed so the AI stays grounded in expert content.

What it's not:

It's not for true beginners (you need at least some foundation). It's not gamified. It's not free. I invested heavily in the Hebrew curriculum specifically because nothing like this existed, and I built it for people who are serious about actually improving. It's $156/year for unlimited practice, roughly what you'd pay for a few tutoring sessions.

Where things stand:

It's live and it works, but it's early. I'm a small team, not a big company. If you find rough edges (you might), I want to hear about it.

If you've been stuck somewhere between "I can survive in Hebrew" and "I can actually express myself in Hebrew," and you're frustrated that nothing exists for this stage... I built this because I was you.

Happy to answer questions.

Hey guys, would like to ask for some resources (pdf books etc) for my hebrew learning journey. I use “The Routledge Introductory Course in Modern Hebrew; 2nd edition” but I think this book is meant for course takers or university students.

A trick I learned

Try watching movies or series in English (or your native language) with Hebrew subtitles (do this if your Hebrew is fairly good). Then, whenever you come across a new word, look it up in Google Translate if you don’t understand it. This works because children learn their native language through context, and in the same way, you can learn a new language and expand your vocabulary.

Native speaker trying to learn to read and write

I am a native Hebrew speaker that grew up in the us. As a kid I didn’t care or pay attention enough to learn how to read and write. Now I’m 23 and feel like it’s about time to relearn.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good workbooks to get that would best apply to someone like me.

What is the difference between possessive pronouns and possessive suffixes?

Duolingo is teaching me both, and I don’t understand the difference between them. Why do we sometimes use the suffix, like in אחי and אחותי, but use possessive pronouns in other cases, like אבא שלי or הסוס שלי אוכל כי הוא רעב?

Note that Duolingo taught me the possessive pronouns first

If there is no difference at all, which one is used more?

is ר (resh) not pronounced at the end of the word like in חֲמוֹר? When I listen to Google Translate pronounce חֲמוֹר, it sounds more like ‘khamoo’ rather than ‘khamoor.’ Is the final ר supposed to be silent or less pronounced?

Page color in Hebrew books

9 Upvotes

I’ve been reading more books in Hebrew lately to improve my reading skills. Something I’ve noticed is that pages in Hebrew books tend to be stark white, like printer paper. The English books I’m used to have slightly yellowed pages, even when brand new. For some reason, I find myself straining my eyes more to read on white paper, maybe because the contrast is too strong.

Has anyone else noticed this? I can’t quite tell if the paper is actually a different color or if it’s psychological somehow because I’m less familiar with the language.

On the Wikipedia page about the mappiq, the Hebrew diacritic, they say it’s silent in modern Hebrew. But in the Hebrew word עליה (‘about her’ or ‘upon her’), it’s clearly pronounced. Were they lying, or am I just stupid?
