Want to speak Hebrew like a native Israeli?

That’s not as difficult as you might imagine. Here, at Street Hebrew, we concentrate on providing a basic framework that enables you to speak Hebrew in the everyday manner of the average Israeli.

One reason that it is easy to speak Hebrew, in a way that doesn’t tag you as an outsider, is that for over 40% of Israelis, Hebrew is not their mother tongue. They also had to learn it as a second language. Also, for 20% of Israeli citizens, Arabic is their first language, Hebrew is their second. The variety of ethnic backgrounds of Israelis means that there is a wide variation in pronunciation and accents.

No one will laugh at you if you make a mistake!

In colloquial spoken Hebrew there is a smattering of both Arabic and English, or English sounding words adapted to Hebrew. For example, the regular, and informal, way to end a phone conversation is to say “Yallah – Bye!” This is from the Arabic “Yallah” meaning something like “let’s go” (in this case “I’m going”), and the English “Goodbye”.

Learning to speak Hebrew is easier than learning to write it.

The grammar is straightforward and, unlike English, exceptions to the rules are rare.

Obviously, the best way to speak Hebrew is on a “one to one” basis with your teacher – and that’s exactly what Street Hebrew does, The interaction via Skype gives you all the confidence that you need.
