All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and tests, so research the details in advance. With personal Hebrew tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.
🔥 Why is Hebrew so challenging and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand most phrases, express yourself, shop and place orders in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Hebrew. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Hebrew tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.
🤷 How long does it take to learn Hebrew?
Some people seem to have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Hebrew will necessitate at least 600 hours of dedication. The required duration of time can differ by a lot depending on your available level of Hebrew or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch television, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Hebrew out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Hebrew classes online.
🤳 What are my options when choosing the Hebrew tutor?
In language learning academies, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened Hebrew tutors with full profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.
🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?
Colleges as a rule run classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
