The next intensive Hebrew class begins 10 August 2020
Learn to USE Hebrew rather than talk ABOUT Hebrew
ALS uses the same methods that are used to learn any living language. Students will hear, imitate, speak, and respond to commands in Hebrew already during the first hour of the course. Rather than sitting at desks, students participate in vocabulary and fluency building exercises such as story-telling and acting out stories. Our interactive learning process is non-threatening, requires little homework, and yet is a much more efficient way to learn a language.
How does the program work?
ALS prepares students for advanced scriptural exegesis in just ten-months. The course lasts 10 months, beginning with 3-weeks of immersion (7 hours a day, 6 days a week). This is followed by Skype classes during the fall, another intensive week, and Skype classes in the spring. A final intensive week in May ends the course. More than 95% of the students who have enrolled in the program have successfully learned Hebrew.
