New Ways To Learn Modern Hebrew

By Katy Kline


Hebrew was once considered a dead language with no native speakers, although it continued to be used by academics and religious leaders. It was revived as a spoken language in the mid 19th century and today is spoken by millions of people, many of whom live in Israel. It is the official language of the state of Israel and if you are wanting to learn modern Hebrew, there are many ways of going about doing this that are very effective.

In the past, languages were often learned by studying textbooks without having the opportunity to hear the language being spoken. Now there are other ways of learning how to speak, read and write a language and Hebrew is no exception. A combination of books, audio and interactive lessons provide the basis for many courses enabling those who want to learn to be exposed to the spoken and written language in a well constructed manner. Interactive online learning is one of the latest approaches.

Some of these internet offerings are not that helpful but there are well constructed and researched courses available, designed to make the learning experience as effective as possible. There are good courses offering quality content taught according to well established learning methods on a serious platform and with convenient audio. You may choose one type of instruction over another, depending on the way you prefer to learn. There are courses suited to many different age groups and level of ability.

Courses usually consist of various levels. Those geared towards beginners focus on the alphabet (Aleph Bet) and each session focuses on both expanding vocabulary and creating building blocks for learning the verb system. The idea is for students to be able to hold a basic conversation using simple words related to common situations experienced every day.

Virtual classes provide a supportive environment for students. They can log in and chat with a well qualified teacher and other students. The groups usually consist of six to eight students and they practice together with one another, building up confidence along the way. This is a supportive environment where mistakes can be made without embarrassment as everyone is learning together.

Information about prices of courses, dates and times are available at online websites. These vary considerably with some even being offered for free. Costs can be an issue when investing in a language course but it is often money well spent. One cannot expect to achieve anything at a useful level in a language without spending some money.

Upon registration one may be sent various materials. These may include workbooks and headphones with microphones to chat with a teacher and other students. One may even receive letter stickers to transform a keyboard.

Learning a language is not an easy task and does not happen without some dedication. Research has showed that daily practice is needed for at least three months in order to develop muscles in the mouth to properly articulate the unfamiliar sounds of an unknown language. Choose from current methods available today to learn modern Hebrew and you will be surprised at how soon you will be able to hold a basic conversation.
