🔥 Why is Hebrew so challenging and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

As proven by others before, you can gain basic Hebrew fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand everyday phrases, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Hebrew. After attaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Hebrew tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.
🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Hebrew?
Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Hebrew will demand at least 600 hours of active use. The length of time can differ significantly depending on your available level of Hebrew or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write by hand and online using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Hebrew out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Hebrew classes online.
🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Hebrew teacher?
In language centers, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, always! The largest selection of verified Hebrew tutors with video profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.
🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?
Colleges usually run classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually 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.
