Hebrew For Credit High School Level 2 for Hebrew Speakers

The course is taught in Hebrew and is intended for Hebrew-speaking students who have acquired the knowledge of the alphabet in print, and the punctuation marks, who are able to read and write letters in print. The sessions are held once a week for 45-50 minutes and will focus on learning Hebrew while emphasizing the development of linguistic abilities, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

In the course we will learn:

• Speaking – the students will learn to converse in short conversations, ask and answer basic questions.
• Writing – learning to write letters in script. Practice writing words from print to script.
• Reading and listening – the students will learn how to read simple sentences, while establishing their understanding of what was read and heard.
• Grammar – strengthening the letters, in print and writing, building simple sentences in Hebrew, present tense verbs, and their inflection.Join our class today to develop your Hebrew skills and together we will learn to speak, read and write in Hebrew.
