A Hebrew language course uniquely tailored for Arabic speakers
About the Course
The learners start speaking Hebrew right away, from the very first lesson
The lessons are accompanied by a textbook from the "El - Ha‘Ivrit" book series, with the translation designed and addressed to Arabic speakers only.
The content topics of the course are universal and language skills are taught gradually and spirally, using the repetition and use of previous knowledge.
The course reveals similarities and differences between Hebrew and Arabic by virtue of their being Semitic languages. During this course we will address common mistakes Arabic speakers make when speaking Hebrew.
At the end of the studies, each student will be able to read and understand a 20-line text, formulate ideas and opinions in writing, conduct a conversation in pairs and in a group discussion, and present a presentation of 3-5 minutes.
