Learn Hebrew Online

Shalom !

Do you want to listen to Hebrew Native Speakers and learn Hebrew Online?

I propose to you several good options :
  • Hebrew Online with Transparent Languages

    • Hebrew Byki Deluxe 4They have over 70 languages to choose from and also Hebrew. It's easy, you just download the material to your computer, no need to send you anything at home. The method will teach you Hebrew vocabulary with the voice of native speakers, it won't teach you to write with the special Hebrew characters (this is a more engaging task). If you are a beginner and you just want to learn words and phrases in Hebrew, it may be what you need.

  • Hebrew with Rosetta Stone

    • Rosetta Stone is considered the Rolls-Royce of the language learning methods, they are also more expensive.
    Amazon can easily send you the package with CDs (for PC and Mac) to almost any location in the world. There is also a downloadable version, but it is restricted, for now, to those who have a billing address in the U.S
    The download version
    The CDs version

  • Modern Hebrew with Pimsleur

    • Pimsleur is like Rosetta Stone, a high quality product. Amazon can send you the material worldwide.


  • Learn Hebrew Online with Israel's best teachers

    • Learn Hebrew onlineIf you are serious about learning Hebrew, this is the best, because you also get the assistance and the following of a teacher from Israel. This company specializes in the Hebrew language, they can even teach you biblical Hebrew.

  • Book methods 

    • Hebrew For Dummies even comes with an audio CD, and Amazon can send you the book anywhere in the world.
    You can also consider Hebrew, Conversational- Pimsleur which is a simplified version of the full Pimsleur (just audio).

What is meant by learning Online ?

Learning Online involves using your computer in order to learn and practice the language. Some programs let you download all the material to your computer, other methods give you access to a learning site with a user name and a password. Some programs will send you the learning material in form of CDs to your home and some will assign you a real teacher that will be in contact with you and help you with the learning. With some programs you even participate in a class in video conference.

From all existing learning ways, why learn Online ?

There are many possible ways to learn a language and learning from your computer is one of them. With the Computer you can read text, listen to recorded native speakers and see videos so it is quite effective.
  • Independency
    • On your computer, you can learn at your own pace. You can decide when and how much to learn. You are also not dependent on a specific place.
  • Price
    • Learning Online is relatively cheap compared to going to regular classes.
All things considered, learning from your computer is a good option, especially if you are a beginner and you want to "test the ground". Once you are ready to invest more in learning Hebrew, you should use a combination of learning methods.

What is really important to Consider when choosing an Online learning Method ?

The most important point is that the method feels good for you and it makes you want to learn and practice.
Also very important:
  • Audio tracks:  Learning from your computer is not like being in a class and speaking with real people but you should not settle for a method that doesn´t contain recorded native Hebrew speakers. This is very important because knowing a language is not just reading text, it is about the way words are pronounced. You should repeat the words yourself and so train yourself pronouncing them correctly.
  • Refund guarantee. That way you can test the quality of the product. If for some reason you are not satisfied with the product, you should be able to cancel the order.

What features could exist in an Online learning Method ?

You don't need all of these but varied features can motivate you to practice and learn more, here are some:
  • Audio- Important, choose a method that contains recorded native Israeli people, spelling words and sentences.
  • Video clips- If you like watching videos and it makes you remember better the language, choose a learning method that includes videos, but MP3 audio is more important, you can take it on the go and practice.
  • Interactive Dictionary - As you move the cursor over any text, an English translation is displayed.
  • Exercises and Testing
  • Games - That will include the learnt material
  • Grammar lessons - Some methods will also teach you the fundamental Grammar rules of the language, but you have to be very disciplined for that, better start with the vocabulary and leave the grammar lessons for regular classes.
  • Different learning levels - Be aware of the level of studies your learning method is destined for. (the simple categorization is: Beginners. Intermediate, Advanced). Most of the methods are for beginners without any knowledge of the language.
  • Live support - Some methods will include a way to communicate with a teacher in order to assist in the learning.
