Modern Hebrew grammar library
The same explanations I write for students — how reading works, the binyanim, the grammar textbooks rush past. Not a teaser. The whole article.
Then
The app is a subscription. Lessons are a separate thing.
Flashcards Anki-style (add your own), reading, conjugations, quiz, conversation — none of that waits on a lesson. From $9/month. If you want a person across the table, that is the trial lesson.
Why choose a native Jerusalemite for your Hebrew language journey?
I was born and raised in Jerusalem, and Hebrew is native to me. I teach one-to-one, online by video, in English or French, and the practice between lessons follows what we did in the lesson.
Sound familiar?
You've been 'learning Hebrew' for years but freeze when someone actually speaks to you
Apps taught you words but not how Hebrew actually works — binyanim, roots, patterns
You can read with vowels but panic when they disappear
Everyone tells you 'just move to Israel' as if that's a learning strategy
I teach every lesson myself, starting from where you are stuck.
Who this is for
Family reconnectors
Your partner's Israeli. Or your kids go to Hebrew school. Or you have cousins in Tel Aviv you can only talk to in broken English. You want to be part of the conversation, not outside it.
Aliyah planners & frequent visitors
You're going to Israel — maybe for good. Street Hebrew, bureaucracy Hebrew, 'arguing with the cell phone company' Hebrew. Real survival language.
From prayer to conversation
You can follow the Siddur but you can't order lunch. You know the blessings but not the binyanim. You want the living language, not just the liturgical one.
Students tired of bad apps
You tried Duolingo. You got through 200 days of streaks and still can't conjugate a verb properly. You're ready for something that actually teaches the language.
Your learning path
A structured curriculum — not just a pile of flashcards. Each stage builds on the last.
Aleph-Bet & Sound System
Master the alphabet, vowel system, and basic pronunciation. Nikud Toggle from day one.
First 500 Words & Present Tense
Survival vocabulary, Binyan Pa'al present tense, basic conversation patterns.
Past & Future + Binyanim Introduction
All tenses in Pa'al, introduction to Pi'el and Hif'il. Root-based vocabulary expansion.
All 7 Binyanim + Intermediate Conversation
Full verb system. Complex sentences. News, podcasts, and unvoweled text.
Fluency & Cultural Depth
Slang, humor, register switching, literary Hebrew. Read Ha'aretz, argue in Hebrew.
Tools built for Modern Hebrew
Nikud Toggle
The #1 pain point in Hebrew learning: transitioning from voweled to unvoweled text. The toggle lets you fade the vowels out at your own pace.
Root Explorer
One root gives you a whole family of words. The root explorer shows those families inside your own vocabulary.
All 7 Binyanim
Duolingo doesn't teach them. Most apps ignore them. The 7 verb patterns ARE Hebrew. The drills cover every one.
Real Conversation Scenarios
At the shuk, at the doctor, at the airport, arguing about politics at a Shabbat dinner. Not textbook dialogues — real Israeli situations.
Dialect Choice
Modern Israeli? Sephardic liturgical? Ashkenazi traditional? Choose your pronunciation track and stay consistent.
Bridge to Biblical Hebrew
Same roots, same structure, different eras. Your Modern Hebrew unlocks Biblical reading — and vice versa. I show you the connections.
"I used Duolingo Hebrew for a year and couldn't hold a conversation. After two months here I ordered food in Hebrew on a trip to Tel Aviv and the waiter didn't switch to English."

The language that came back to life
Hebrew is the only language in human history to be revived from sacred texts into a living, spoken language. These images capture that miracle.
