Introductory Hebrew

Study Introductory Hebrew in 2020!

Our Hebrew language classes begin with learning the Hebrew script in Term 1, and focus on conversation and basic introductory grammar. Subsequent Terms enforce the Hebrew script and concentrate on learning basic Hebrew grammar, increasing vocabulary, and reading and writing practice.

In addition, popular Hebrew songs are also taught. Our Hebrew classes emphasise literacy (for those interested in Biblical Hebrew) and conversation (for those interested in learning to speak modern Hebrew).

Two separate Hebrew groups are currently on offer in 2020: Hebrew 101 for new learners with an emphasis on first learning the Hebrew script, and Hebrew 103 for those who began studying with us in 2019 Term 3 and who have already completed two Terms of study. Each of these groups will continue throughout 2020.
