Fast-Track Your Hebrew Journey

Hebrew at the Speed of Light!

 

 

Learning Hebrew and, in fact, any new language is a ton of work.

For some, the process can be so overwhelming that they may not even know where to begin.

 

But mastering Hebrew can open up a lot of opportunities for you:

You will be able to communicate with people in Israel – some of those may be your friends or relatives.

 

You can learn about the culture of this ‘startup nation.’

If you intend to immigrate to Israel, you can conduct your business or social life and be exposed to job opportunities that were previously unavailable.

 

 

So how do you approach such a large project as learning Hebrew from the start?

 

At Ulpan-Or, we view the primary role of a language as a means to conduct two-way verbal communication.

 

We also believe that Hebrew needs to be acquired and NOT learned. 

 

Language learning is the teaching about a language (its use, its speaker, its structure), with the hope that the student will learn enough to actually be able to speak the target language.

 

Language acquisition, in its current sense, exposes the student to the target language in meaningful ways so that he or she acquires the language structure through actual and natural use.

 

Now we would like to offer you several tips to make the process of acquiring Hebrew more enjoyable and effective.

 

Here are the first three essential tips:

 

The first thing to realize when taking on a new language is that regular, consistent study over time is the key to getting results.

You must be prepared to go through periods where you lose motivation or struggle to find the time to work on your Hebrew, and that’s completely normal.

 

What’s important is that you stay consistent with your study, and try to carve out some time every day.

Stick with it, and time will do most of the work for you!

 

Don’t worry about not understanding everything – try and guess the things you don’t know from context, and ask about or look up words that come up frequently whose meaning you can’t work out.

 

First, acquire vocabulary that you frequently use, such as the following: the six ‘W/H’ (What, Why, Where, Who, When, Which, How) phrases and immediately start to have a conversation at the very early stage of your learning journey.
