Modern Hebrew: Beginner Level 1 *Online*
The official language of the state of Israel, Hebrew is a Semitic language which belongs to the Afro-Asian language family. Hebrew is the only Canaanite language still spoken, and the only truly successful example of a revived dead language. Modern Hebrew is spoken by approximately 10 million people around the world.
Beginner Level 1 is for students who have not studied Hebrew before, or have less than 10 hours of classroom time within the last year. Students will learn to identify common words, read basic vocabulary, ask and answer simple questions, and use simple phrases and sentences to describe familiar people and places. Students can expect to learn to read and write the Hebrew alphabet. A lot of exposure to Israel's culture will enhance the learning process. Instructor: Dalia Mendel
