The first meeting with Talyah was amazing! It was a more of a “Get To Know You Session” before we started any actual language learning. This is EXACTLY what I wanted before I committed any more time t
Really good instructor, I look forward to her helping me along my journey toward learning to speak Hebrew.

FAQ
Is Hebrew easy to learn?
Many would argue that Hebrew is one of the easier Semitic languages to learn, but it can be fairly challenging for English speakers. It uses a different alphabet than English, and it’s read right to left and does not include vowels. As these features are different, they can challenge some English-speaking students. However, there aren’t many characters to learn (only 22), and there are very few irregularities to master. It is a logical language, making it easier to learn.
Working with a one-on-one tutor can help you master any challenges you experience. The wealth of historical, religious, and modern texts available in Hebrew make it a worthwhile, meaningful language to learn.
What is the best way to learn Hebrew?
As with any language, the best way to learn Hebrew is exposure and immersion. Watching and listening to Israeli media (television, movies, radio) is an excellent way to hear and see modern Hebrew. In addition, speaking with and learning from an individual Hebrew teacher allows you to master elements you may not pick up from the modern spoken language and can help you read and write Hebrew with increasing ease.
Listening to modern speakers will also help ancient Hebrew learners, providing context and cultural immediacy to accompany more academic study. Hebrew has a very long, living history, and making connections between the past and present will help you understand how the language rules, vocabulary, and pronunciation have evolved over time.
How many years does it take to be fluent in Hebrew?
Fluency can mean many different things. The Foreign Service Institute states that Hebrew can be learned in 44 weeks (11,000 hours), but there are many elements that factor into fluency. Natural aptitude and effort, quality of instruction, and the ability to immerse yourself in the language all affect your ability to speak and read Hebrew.
In addition, it will depend on whether you are learning modern or ancient Hebrew. There are many reasons to learn Hebrew, from conversational needs to exclusively academic reading skills, and fluency with these skills will take differing amounts of time. Regardless of the time it takes, learning Hebrew is a rewarding, engaging experience with many benefits.
