Conversational Hebrew
This course is no longer offered.
This is a modern Hebrew from scratch course with a focus on conversation skills, taught in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We will explore various common daily situations, such as greetings, phone conversations, food, shopping, finding your way around town, and expressing a wide variety of emotions. We will build a vocabulary and begin to see how the Hebrew language is spoken. All that is required is the ability to read Hebrew letters and a desire to learn.
