Modern Israeli Hebrew (Hebrew Ulpan)

Spoken Hebrew Course | General Hebrew Ulpan

Hebrew is the primary language spoken in Israel and is the language of the Jewish people around the world. Despite being among the most ancient languages still in use today, Modern Israeli Hebrew is a living vibrant language, rich and fascinating. At Language Links we teach Hebrew using a modern approach based on a new syllabus that we have developed, according to the internationally recognized language levels of the European Union (CEFR). We emphasize effective communication in Modern Hebrew that will enable you to function independently in Israeli daily life. Unlike many Ulpans, we DO NOT only teach grammar and read texts, we DO teach you how to REALLY use Hebrew along all the language levels.

In our Israeli Hebrew Ulpan courses you will learn to speak and think in Hebrew. If you are planning to live in Israel, the course will help you integrate into Israeli society, professionally and academically. If you are just visiting Israel, you will be able to improve your Hebrew proficiency and practice the language out of class with Israeli native speakers, being immersed in Israeli culture. In any case, you will be able to keep in touch with relatives, understand Israeli movies, books and songs and enjoy Israeli culture, and all this at the heart of Tel Aviv a.k.a "The First Hebrew City" and Israel's cultural hub.
