How Practically Speaking Hebrew Works
Designed for how your brain truly learns Hebrew. Each unit includes several focused lessons, and every lesson is jam-packed with real progress - more value than most full courses deliver. You’ll build confidence step by step without ever feeling lost.
Sound Like You Belong
Your pronunciation breakthrough starts here. You'll master all the sounds in Hebrew like no one else teaches it - avoiding every pitfall English speakers hit when they try to speak Hebrew.
Learn the notorious Israeli R and the unique KH ח sound. Discover why your accent isn't the issue (and what actually matters). Avoid the common mistakes English speakers make that confuse Israelis.
My phonetic system gets you pronouncing crystal clear from day one - whether you know the Hebrew alphabet or not. You'll come out of this unit with the tools to deliver everything you say clearly to the local Israeli ear.
The Art of Greeting
Now that you sound crystal clear to Israelis, let's get you into real conversations. This is where you learn the dance of Israeli greetings - not basic "Shalom" level Hebrew, but how to naturally say what YOU want to say when greeting someone, asking how they're doing, and responding authentically.
You'll master the warmth and rhythm of how we actually interact. The natural flow of starting and ending conversations like an Israeli. This is real connection, not memorized scripts.
By the end of this unit, you'll walk into any Israeli setting and feel like you belong from the first word.
Express Your Needs and Wants in Hebrew
This is where you learn how to ask for anything you want, express what you need, and navigate real-life situations. Shopping, ordering, directions, requests - you'll know exactly what to say.
You'll learn the 7 connecting words that unlock everything. Dive deeper into the art of starting and ending conversations smoothly. Fine-tune your requests so you sound extra local and clear.
No more pointing at menus or staying silent. You'll speak up with confidence and clarity.
Get Your Numbers in Line
Numbers are essential in Israeli life - yet most programs treat them like an afterthought. Big mistake. Prices, dates, times, addresses - they come up constantly. In this unit, you'll master Hebrew numbers completely so nothing catches you off guard.
You'll learn numbers in every context they show up - all the ways we Israelis actually use them in real conversation. Plus learn how to ask and answer the questions that involve numbers and keep conversations flowing naturally.
After this unit, you'll never fumble with numbers again. Whether it's the shuk, a birthday party, or making plans, you're ready.
Ask and Answer the Most Important Questions
This is where you master asking and answering anything in Hebrew. Israelis are curious people - we ask, we dig deeper, we want to know everything. Now you will too.
You'll learn how to ask and answer in ways that create real back-and-forth dialogue. Not surface-level exchanges - the kind of questions that turn small talk into genuine connection. You'll ask naturally and understand what you hear.
By the end of this unit, you're not just speaking Hebrew - you're engaging like an Israeli. Conversations that matter.
Your Relationships with Others and The World
Real conversation is about what matters - the people in your life, the things you care about. This is where you learn how to express all of that in Hebrew.
You'll learn how to talk about your relationships, your connections, your world. This is the Hebrew that lets you bond on a genuine level, not just exchange pleasantries.
After this unit, you can share what's real to you in Hebrew - the people, the relationships, the life you're living.
Intro to Verbs & Extra Insider Secrets
Here's where it all comes together - and why you shouldn't tackle verb conjugations before completing this program. Most Hebrew teachers jump into them way too early. Big mistake. That's what makes people quit.
A solid foundation without verb conjugations gets you incredibly far in Hebrew. The opposite? Complete disaster.
By now, you've built that foundation. You're speaking, understanding, confident. Now I'll show you how the verb system actually works, how to use free resources to conjugate any verb you need.
You'll also learn insider secrets native speakers use that change everything, and how you can decode an entire Israeli song with what you know.
The Result
Before you know it - you’ll step into real Hebrew conversations with confidence, understand Israelis, and feel a genuine sense of belonging in the language and culture.

What This Program Is NOT
-
No learning how to read and write (for that - Hebrew 1-2-3 is all you need). We dive straight into speaking and understanding.
-
No set sentences! Instead, you learn how to construct sentences to say what YOU want to say, and practice that.
-
No "here is a grammar rule, now practice it." Instead, we take real-life scenarios and see how and why we would say what we would say.
-
No memorizing - it's about standing on your own by understanding how Hebrew works and the WHY behind it.
-
No classroom Hebrew - only real-life Hebrew that you’ll actually use and that we Israelis actually say.
-
No learning things that won't advance your Hebrew - like what grammar rules are called in Hebrew, or archaic elements we don't use or say.
Your Questions Answered
Adults and teens love this program. Although kids can take it and understand it too, the content is oriented more toward adults - things like ordering coffee. That said, because of how it's taught - learning to construct your own sentences, mix and match your own words, with so many words to work with - many kids enjoy it too. And I have lots of parents learning together with their children, which is wonderful! Just know the content isn't created specifically for kids.
No. Inside Practically Speaking Hebrew, you learn everything both using my phonetic system and in Hebrew writing. So you can become a Hebrew speaker without knowing a single letter in Hebrew if you wish, or add Hebrew writing at any point with your lifetime access.
Age is not the barrier - method is. I have students in their 80s speaking Hebrew confidently. The difference is having a system designed for how your brain actually learns. Plus, learning a language is one of the best things you can do for your brain. It's not about memorizing - it's about understanding. And that you can do at any age.
Fluency is a term I'd highly recommend ditching. It's not measurable, and you don't wake up one day thinking "oh, I'm fluent now." Learning Hebrew is an individual, subjective journey where focusing on the next step - on your clarity and confidence - is what opens the communication doors you want. This program takes you to having clarity and confidence in speaking and understanding Hebrew. You'll get into real conversations with a solid foundation.
You have lifetime access, so go at your pace. This is a smart system where every minute you spend learning propels your clarity and confidence in Hebrew. Inside the program, I give you my best tips on how to make it a habit - so you stay in the game for the long run. You can make incredible progress with 2 hours a week or 20. The program adapts to your life, not the other way around.
I offer Monthly Momentum - a monthly payment plan with progressive access. Choose between 2-5 monthly payments with no interest (there's a small addition to the total cost due to transaction fees). Each unit in the program unlocks monthly until your last payment, when all remaining units unlock. The first unit unlocks as soon as you enroll.
Most Hebrew programs and teachers use the same approach where everything is thrown at you all at once (speaking, understanding, reading, writing). They focus on set sentences, phrases, memorizing, and boring grammar rules - not on how to transition from your language to Hebrew or what will actually advance your clarity and confidence. When you switch to a smart system built to work with how your brain understands Hebrew, everything changes. This program is unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
You have me - Inbal - as your teacher forever. I answer all your questions, you submit your speaking practice with each lesson and get my feedback, and you get personal guidance inside the program. This is a partnership, not another online course.
You'll start speaking from day one. Students report feeling conversational within days to weeks, not months or years. You have lifetime access, so there's no pressure or deadline.
My students include people who "failed" Hebrew multiple times before. The difference? A system designed for how YOUR brain learns a language, and Hebrew in particular. Plus you have me supporting you forever.
Your accent isn't the issue - clarity to the Israeli ear is. Unit 1 teaches you exactly how to pronounce Hebrew sounds so Israelis understand you clearly. Students are shocked when Israelis ask "Wait, are you local?" It's not about sounding native - it's about being understood. You'll get there. We don't change your accent.
Most programs use that same archaic method - everything thrown at you at once, set sentences, memorizing, boring grammar rules. They divide courses into A-1, A-2, beginner, intermediate, alef, bet. This is one comprehensive system equivalent to over 4 university semesters. Most programs take away your access once it's done, offer no teacher support, or make you wait your turn in a group where you're not really learning from others because you're all beginners. This is all about you, having me as your teacher for support and feedback, using a success-based system.
If you want to speak and understand Hebrew (not just read it), you're ready to invest in real transformation (not another app), and you value having a native Israeli teacher supporting you forever - this is right for you. With any program or tutoring, if you're showing up and doing the work, you should feel your clarity and confidence enhance within weeks. That's how you know - in this program and in any others - that it's the right one for you.
A: Total Immersion is the full program - all 7 units, lifetime access, immediate access to everything, best value. That's the best option if you can take advantage of it.
If not, Monthly Momentum is a monthly payment plan (2-5 payments) with progressive unit access, created for people who need to spread payments out monthly (it's not a membership or subscription, just a set payment plan).
And for those who prefer to sample the program first, Unit 1 (Sound Like You Belong) gives you the complete first unit to test my method before committing to the full program.
Absolutely. Your Unit 1 investment doesn't count toward the full program price, but I'll be communicating with you to allow you to upgrade to the full program within the first few days of Unit 1 with a discount for part of the amount.
It's 180 degrees from Ulpan. Ulpan uses the traditional way of teaching Hebrew which fails too many people. That's exactly why I created Practically Speaking Hebrew - to flip all the things that don't work in Ulpan, and keep everything people report that worked for them regardless of what they tried.
This program takes you from absolute beginner to confident Hebrew speaker who can stand on their own. You won't finish wondering "now what?" You'll have complete Hebrew speaking ability and the tools to keep growing on your own. After this program, the only thing you should focus on is practicing everything you learned and adding verb conjugations (which I show you how to approach in the last unit).
You're Ready. The Method Is Proven. Let's Transform Your Hebrew.
The conversations that felt impossible become natural. The language that seemed unreachable becomes yours.
You're not looking for another beginner course. You're ready for complete transformation.
One comprehensive program. One native teacher.
Lifetime Hebrew speaking confidence.
