Finally, Speak Hebrew Confidently With Native Israelis

An invitation to those who know the basics of Hebrew but want to be able to speak confidently and understand conversations with native Israelis, even if you live outside of Israel.

Watch the course tour here! ⇧

Time to feel less alienated and more connected to Hebrew and Israeli culture

There is one thing I know about you:

You try your hardest to belong, even from afar.

Whether you live in Israel or not, you carry a desire to connect with Hebrew language and Israeli culture.

You encounter Hebrew signs, encounter people speaking Hebrew around you, but sometimes it all seems blurry, leaving you feeling a bit lost, like in a strange dream.

You might ask yourself:

How did I develop this fascination with Hebrew and Israel?

What brought me to embrace a language and culture that are so different from my own?

Sure, there are valid reasons why you started to learn Hebrew...

Perhaps a Jewish background

Maybe appreciation for Israeli culture

It could be Christian faith

Or an Israeli spouse or relatives

Or... you already live in Israel, or intend to live in Israel, and you want to fit in

But Let’s Be Honest...

Israel Is A Tough Place,

And Hebrew Is A Hard Language

(and that's not a fun combination...)

Even With The Best Intentions And Efforts...

Moments Of Doubt And Despair Start To Creep In As You Learn The Language

You Might Ask Yourself

Unpleasant Questions, like...

Why do I still feel hesitant and embarrassed when I attempt to speak Hebrew?
If indeed "Kol Israel Akhim" (Israelis are like siblings), as they say, why do I sometimes feel like some of them try to take advantage of me?
Why did that person respond rudely to me today?
Why did that impatient driver honk at me?
Why is it so hard to find efficient customer service in Israel?
Why is everything so expensive, and yet it's difficult to find a decent job?
Why do I struggle to find patient Israeli friends willing to speak Hebrew with me?

You Are Afraid To Be Judged For Your Thoughts And Doubts

You may carry these thoughts alone, afraid to share them with others, except perhaps with your spouse or closest friends and family.

You can imagine the judgmental tone of voice from people lacking empathy:

"Well, what did you expect? It's Israel after all!"
"It's the Middle East, not America or Europe!"
"You should have sorted out your finances before leaving your country. The Israeli economy is tough for everyone. Just deal with it!"
"Of course, Hebrew is important. Any local language in any country is important. Why didn't you learn it before moving to Israel?!"

In these moments, Israel can shift from being ארץ זבת חלב ודבש, “A Land Flowing With Milk And Honey” (Exodus, 3:8),

to ארץ אוכלת יושביה, “A Land That Devours Those Living In It” (Numbers, 13:32).

Hebrew Is the Main Obstacle – And the Solution

You know that many of your challenges stem from your Hebrew proficiency

You know that if you had a stronger grasp of the language, if you could communicate more fluently, you would feel more at home in your connection to Israel (regardless if you live in Israel or not).

If you are reading these words, chances are you have already studied some Hebrew in the past.

However, you still lack the confidence to read fluently, struggle to understand spoken Hebrew, and feel stuck when trying to speak.

Perhaps you have taken a Hebrew for beginners course (Ramah Alef), either in a Hebrew school (Ulpan), or my Hebrew Jump-Start Course for beginners.

But you understand that it was merely scratching the surface of Hebrew's complexity and richness.

You realize that the way to really connect with native Israelis, Israeli society, or Jewish texts is to push beyond the basics and dive deeper into the language.

It's time to bridge the gap between your current level and your desired fluency.

The Secret About Hebrew Courses That Nobody Talks About

Breaking Free from Academic Outdated Methods

and Superficial Language Learning

Currently, if you wish to learn or improve your Hebrew level,

two main types of Hebrew courses exist, each with significant drawbacks that impede effective language learning.

The first type of Hebrew courses comprises official Hebrew courses offered in Ulpanim (Hebrew schools) or universities.

These courses often demand a substantial time commitment, ranging from 12 to 25 hours of lessons per week.

Unfortunately, this excessive workload poses challenges for working adults seeking a balance between their professional and personal lives.

Additionally, many of these courses lack distance learning options and rely on outdated textbooks, grammar-focused instruction, and lengthy academic texts that offer limited practical application.

The second type of Hebrew courses is taught by individuals who are often native Hebrew speakers, but they lack professional teaching experience.

These courses may appear appealing and trendy, promising to teach slang expressions and provide a glimpse into Israeli culture.

However, the drawback lies in their lack of effective teaching methodologies and inadequate understanding of Hebrew grammar and syntax.

Without a solid foundation in grammar and syntax, learners may struggle to form correct sentences, understand complex structures, or engage in meaningful conversations beyond surface-level interactions.

But It Doesn't Have To Be This Way...

How Hebrew

Should be taught:

As an experienced teacher with years of expertise, I have taught hundreds of students since 2016.

I've helped them shift from not knowing a single word of Hebrew to being able to write, read, speak, and understand the language with ease.

My teaching style is not about rote memorization of isolated words and grammatical rules with flashcards and old textbooks.

Instead, I immerse you in real-life situations to teach you conversational skills and the basic elements of Hebrew that you need to know in order to get started.

Listen to a real-life dialogue and learn new words

Practice

speaking what you learned

Do online exercises to reinforce your knowledge

Improve and gain

confidence in real life!

Questions You Might Have:

Do I need any prior knowledge of Hebrew to enroll in the course?

Hebrew Express covers Ramah Bet, level B in Hebrew studies, and it is designed for individuals who have already acquired a basic foundation in Hebrew.

If you have completed a level A Hebrew course and possess a grasp of constructing basic sentences, as well as conjugating some verbs in the present and past tense, this course is perfect for you.

However, if you're uncertain about your level or feel you might benefit from a refresher, feel free to reach out to me.

We can assess your current proficiency together and determine if Hebrew Express is the ideal fit, or if starting with the Hebrew Jump-Start course for beginners would be more suitable.

Your learning journey starts here, and I'm here to assist you every step of the way!

How long does it take to finish this course?

Learning a language, especially one as unique and different as Hebrew, takes time and dedication.

The Hebrew Express course consists of 36 engaging lessons. By maintaining a pace of 2 lessons per week, you can complete the course in approximately 18 weeks.

However, life can be busy, and I want to accommodate your individual learning style.

Even if you can only dedicate time to one lesson per week, that's absolutely fine!

With lifetime access to the course, you can learn at a pace that suits your schedule and revisit the materials whenever you need a refresher or want to delve deeper into the content.

Does this course come with live coaching as well?

This course gives you plenty of tools to learn on your own, at your own pace, and you also get feedback from Ori, with audio and text messages.

However, if you wish to add live coaching to this course, you can opt-in for one of the lesson packages - 10, 15, or 20 lessons, after signing up for this course.

Will I be able to speak and understand Hebrew by the end of this course?

Absolutely!

The primary objective of the Hebrew Express course is to enhance your confidence in both speaking and understanding Hebrew.

By the end of this course, you can expect a significant improvement in your ability to engage in conversations, comprehend spoken Hebrew, and express yourself with greater ease.

Your newfound confidence in speaking and understanding Hebrew will empower you to navigate real-life situations and connect more deeply with the language and its culture.

It's important to remember that language learning requires active participation and practice.

While the course provides the necessary tools and guidance, your commitment and consistent practice will ultimately determine the extent of your progress.

Can I access the course materials after completing it?

Definitely!

Once you enroll in the Hebrew Express course, you'll have lifetime access to all the course materials (and also to the Hebrew Alphabet Course that you get for free).

This means you can revisit the lessons, review the content, and continue practicing your skills at any time that suits you best.

How can I contact you if I have any questions or need support?

If you have any questions or need support throughout the course, I am here for you!

You can easily reach me through the chat box bubble on the course website, and you can always contact me via email at ori.edelman@stairwaytohebrew.com.

Can't I find similar resources or tutorials for free online?

While free resources can be found online, they often lack organization and comprehensive content.

In contrast, this paid course offers a structured and well-designed learning experience, providing you with the necessary guidance and resources to succeed.

When you invest in a course, you demonstrate your commitment and increase your chances of achieving your language goals.

Additionally, this course goes beyond just information delivery. It offers interactive exercises, personalized feedback from a real teacher, and a supportive learning environment.

This level of engagement and support is invaluable in accelerating your progress and ensuring a successful learning journey.

Can I really ask for a refund after 30 days?

Absolutely!

I want you to feel completely confident and satisfied with your decision to enroll in the Hebrew Express course.

That's why I offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.

If, for any reason, you find that the course doesn't meet your expectations, you can request a full refund within 30 days of your purchase, no questions asked.

What if I find the course too challenging or too easy for my level?

It's understandable that finding the right level of challenge is crucial for effective learning.

If you find the Hebrew Express course too challenging, it might be beneficial to refresh your knowledge with a more basic Hebrew level.

In such cases, I recommend the Hebrew Jump-Start course for beginners.

This course provides a solid foundation and will help you build confidence before diving into more advanced material.

On the other hand, if you find the course too easy in the beginning, I suggest exploring modules 2 and 3 to see if they offer the appropriate level of challenge for you.

Skipping ahead to these modules allows you to assess whether the course content aligns better with your proficiency.

If you feel that the course is consistently easy for you, it indicates that you have already achieved a higher level of proficiency.

I understand your desire for more advanced content, and I have good news for you: I am currently developing a level C course (Ramah Gimel), which is expected to be published by the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024.

Is there a follow-up course if I want to continue learning?

I'm excited to share that a follow-up course is in the works.

I am currently developing a level C course (Ramah Gimel), which is expected to be published by the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025.

This course will take your Hebrew learning journey to the next level. In the level C course, we will dive even deeper into fascinating topics about Judaism and Israeli culture.

You can expect to further enrich your proficiency, expand your vocabulary, and deepen your understanding of Hebrew grammar and syntax.

It will be an immersive and rewarding experience, allowing you to continue your language learning with confidence and enthusiasm.

Stay tuned for updates on the development and release of the level C course. I'm thrilled to continue supporting your language journey and help you achieve your goals in Hebrew proficiency.
