The length of time can differ a lot depending on your current level of Hebrew or proficiency in other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write by hand and online using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try additional 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.

In language learning academies, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, always! The largest selection of verified Hebrew tutors with video profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.
