Learn Hebrew with real humans

Hebrew is a unique linguistic miracle: the only dead language ever revived as a living one, it now has 9 million native speakers in Israel. The official language of the 8th largest economy per capita in the Middle East, Hebrew is also a springboard for understanding biblical texts in their original form. Its 22-letter consonantal alphabet can be learned in 1 to 2 weeks, and its grammar, though Semitic, is more regular than Arabic.

First words in Hebrew

היי (Hey) / מה קורה (Ma koreh), Hi / What's up

sha-LOM / hey / ma ko-REH

שלום (Shalom), Hello / Peace

Formal greeting

Did you know? Modern Hebrew (Ivrit) was revived in the 19th century by Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, who coined thousands of words to describe modern life. A fascinating quirk: Hebrew is written from right to left without vowels in most everyday texts, readers infer them from context. The word 'shalom' (שלום) means hello, goodbye and peace all at once. Israel is home to more start-ups per capita than any other country, and English is widely spoken, but Hebrew remains the key to social integration.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Hebrew

Is the Hebrew alphabet difficult to learn?

No, the aleph-bet has only 22 consonantal letters and most learners master it in 1 to 2 weeks. The real difficulty is reading without vowels, but this comes naturally with practice. Our courses start with the alphabet from the very first session.

What is the difference between Modern Hebrew and Biblical Hebrew?

Modern Hebrew (Ivrit) is the language spoken in Israel today. It shares the same alphabet and much of the vocabulary with Biblical Hebrew, but the pronunciation and grammatical structures differ. Understanding Modern Hebrew gives you access to ancient texts with a little extra effort.

Is Hebrew useful for business?

Absolutely. Israel is known as the 'Start-Up Nation', with more tech unicorns per capita than most countries. Mastering Hebrew opens doors in cybersecurity, medtech, agritech and VC. For anyone looking to establish themselves long-term in the Israeli ecosystem, Hebrew is essential.

Can I learn Hebrew for aliyah (immigration to Israel)?

Yes, it is one of the main motivations of our students. Our courses cover administrative vocabulary, the job market and daily life in Israel. Hebrew is required to join the Ulpan programme upon arrival and to obtain permanent residency.

How long does it take to reach a conversational level in Hebrew?

With two lessons per week and regular practice, a basic conversational level is achievable in 6 to 9 months. Hebrew is classed as category 3 by the US FSI (around 1,100 hours for an English speaker). For a French speaker, the main challenge is the alphabet and reading without vowels.

How much do Hebrew courses cost on Targumi?

Targumi offers 3 plans: quarterly, yearly, and lifetime access. All plans include live small-group classes with native teachers, interactive lessons, and the community. See full pricing on the pricing page.

Are the Hebrew courses online or in person?
