Great site!

I have been teaching myself Hebrew for years and although I have learned a great deal (and read better than I speak), I am not nearly where I desire to be. I could not read a book, for instance. This site will help.

Thanks

I truly feel HASHEM hears prayers. I am so desperate to learn Hebrew and today i ran into this lesson. and it made my day. Please continue to have these "heart delights" treats for us who so much want to connect w our heritage.

Suggestions for improvement

There are a few nikkud mistakes in the text displayed in the lesson. Repetitions are very effective in language learning. Therefore, I suggest the answer to: Atah rotzeh lishtot? shoud be, ken, ani rotze lishtot, instead of: Ten li mayim. B´bracha, Rachel

Great idea! Small portions of ivrit for practical use. I liked it a great deal. Please, go on with this project. Toda!

Many thanks for this chance to learn to read Hebrew

Finding a easy way to learn Hebrew has been a prayer of mine for some time. I just found these Speak Hebrew lessons, my prayers have been heard.

A good beginning. Best with a teacher.

Thank you. I am a Christian who is trying to learn Hebrew in an Ulpan here in England. This gives me a chance to go a little more at my own pace. Thank you for the courtesy of allowing me to intrude upon your space. Much appreciated.

(46) Margaret, December 19, 2007 5:10 PM

Great!

It seems to be really working! I thought that Hebrew is just a rigmarole but it's not.Thank you!

(45) Alina, October 14, 2007 10:57 AM

Thank you that is great

(44) LORI, September 23, 2007 9:41 PM

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT LEARNING TOOL!

IT IS SO EASY TO FOLLOW AND LEARN WITH MOSHE! I HAVE ALREADY LEARNED MANY WORDS IN JUST ONE EVENING AND IT WILL BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO ME AT WORK TOMORROW. MY BOSSES ARE ISRAELI AND SPEAK FLUENT HEBREW. THANK YOU!

(43) SoraLeah, December 4, 2006 9:16 AM

We enjoyed watching and learning, thanks

that was really cute!

(42) geraldine, April 26, 2006 12:00 AM

Speak Hebrew - I am very thirsty!

thank you SO much for this section on your website. i am trying to learn Hebrew but am finding it difficult to find Hebrew courses to attend. this section helps me to listen to the words and correct my pronunciation and sentance building. i will definately be online for this alone. toda! :)

(41) Pearl, January 14, 2005 12:00 AM

Wonderful!

I watched the animated ulpan with my toddler. Not only is it a great way for him to learn but works really well with me too! My son will be turning 3 shortly and he follows the action well. He repeats everything and wants me to keep playing the lessons. This has really made learning Hebrew so much easier than I'd thought possible. =)

Thank you for this great tool,
Pearl

P.S. On a funny note, when we first watched "I am very thristy", my son got so excited he wasn't completely paying attention to the lesson. As soon as he heard "mayim", he yelled out: my drink! =)

(40) Victoria, August 2, 2004 12:00 AM

Excellent!!

This is an amazing feature! My husband and I use it!!!!

(39) Marla Mindel, March 24, 2004 12:00 AM

I really enjoyed your animated ulpan. I watched them with my daughter and we are learning the words. You make it fun to learn Hebrew! Thank you very much. Please make more of the cartoons!

(38) Anonymous, March 12, 2004 12:00 AM

very good but we would like more dialogs

very good pedagogical idea. the cartoons. The learning of the vocabulary in context. I would have liked more dialogs in a context.

Nice job!

I studied hebrew quite actively until 4th grade, and am starting to feal my hebrew slip from my mind. Although I "knew" this all already, it was really quite nice. Please keep more comming!

(33) Anonymous, September 1, 2003 12:00 AM

I like it, I love it, I want some more of it!

What a great site! Not only is it terific for helping me in my college Hebrew course, but the children I babysit for can enjoy this too. Please keep more lessons coming!

(32) Mrs Valerie Flisher, May 17, 2003 12:00 AM

Great, very effective learning programme

A great stepping stone and confidence builder for beginners in their vocabulary building and pronunication of words correctly. Well done and hope you continue the series to teach and support new Hebrew students.

(31) Mark, December 31, 2002 12:00 AM

Terrific site!

As a Jew who knows absolutely nothing about the Hebrew langauge, this site is invaluable. Despite my older age, I am not embarrased to start educating myself with a learning format clearly meant for young children. Thank you!

(30) Anonymous, December 20, 2002 12:00 AM

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is so wonderful for adults learning hebrew and pronunciations. Please add more to this wonderful site. It has been a great help in my studies.

(26) Tamar, September 20, 2002 12:00 AM

Wonderful surprise!

I had been reviewing various Judaic articles when I came upon this Animated Ulpan segment. I have to say thank you for all of the effort that is put into creating such a resource. Not only is it a fun way to remember lost Hebrew vocabulary, but it brightened my day tremendously to know that I was, in fact, able to salvage a few phrases from my memory. Thanks!

Great introduction to easy Hebrew

I stumbled upon this while searching for an old article. The conversations and vocabulary are very useful in day to day life in Israel. :-) I will pass the link on to friends and family who are struggling with learning Hebrew.

Very cute

This little lesson is very cute and i am recommending it to my beginning Hebrew class that I teach. Thanks for the site.

(1) David Ze'ev Greenberg, February 3, 2002 12:00 AM

Very Fun!, My Bet Class Should really like it!

I teach Hebrew at four different schools. My students range from 3 to 17 and I can't wait to use this with them! The younger kids can really learn from it and the older kids can use it as a review and to have some fun!

Thanks for putting it online. There's plenty of Hebrew software out there, but it's really nice to come across something like this for free!

"Ya-sha koack"!
