Practically Speaking Hebrew - Monthly Plan (Online Hebrew Course)

I’m still a work in progress as I don’t have anyone to converse with in Hebrew while living in NC. However I’m getting better. I’m in Israel currently and having brief conversations with people if it doesn’t get too fast. Reading signs and written Hebrew is much more comfortable to me. Expanding your program to include groups that can practice conversion would be helpful.

I have bought countless book even attend ulpan in Israel and still didn't feel confident in speaking. Inbal's method made sense and gave me the confidence and vocabulary to try again. I am still not fluent but I now have a solid basis and am no longer afraid to try. Give her program a try. You will be amazed at your progress. Highly recommended!!

I'd been attempting to retain the Hebrew phrases that I was learning (using both DuoLingo and Pimsleur online lessons)...but not understanding HOW to construct sensible Hebrew on my own--until PRACTICALLY SPEAKING HEBREW. Inbal is delightfully easy to understand, and she actually responds in person!

Hello everyone,
I'm an American citizen and I love the jewish people, their customs, and their culture. I've wanted to learn to speak and read and write the Hebrew language for many years and decided several months ago to get started. I'm so thankful that I happened upon Inbal's website and chose her curriculum. I'm very pleased with her teaching style and hope that you will be too.

I started with no knowledge of Hebrew as a Dutch speaker. Now i can read and speak a little Hebrew. I know more than the basics via Inbals excellent learning method. I love it. And still learning !

I took a graduate certificate from Liberty University. I graduated and learned lots but still confused on parsing, conjugating, speaking. So i started doing the apps duo lingo thing. Yeah, confused me even more. Then I ran into Inbal’s class. It was wonderful! I’ll never use duo lingo again, but her classes helped with patterns, knowing how to read and speak. Where I was struggling with every word of reading and pronunciation her classes helped me in every way.

I really struggled to even recognize the sounds of Ivrit. Now every time I encounter Ivrit whether in song, liturgy, spending time with Yisraelim & Yisraeliyot, or in my own studies – it's a learning experience. I even am studying & writing about gematria now!

Shortly before I retired, I decided to learn Hebrew. I wasn't sure if an online course in English (my native language is German) would work. So I started with Inbal's three “Hebrew Reading & Writing” books. It worked surprisingly well—and was a lot of fun. A few weeks later, the textbooks were filled with my writing.
The decision to also learn to speak with Inbal’s help was a no-brainer. No sooner said than done. I’ve now worked through the online program and can use the materials to further deepen what I’ve learned. There’s still a lot to do, but I’ve laid a solid foundation. The name “Practically Speaking Hebrew” is spot on. I can highly recommend both programs—not to mention Inbal as a teacher.

I am very grateful that I came across Inbal and her teaching method. I studied biblical Hebrew many years ago at the University of Chicago’s Oriental Institute. My wish was always to be able to learn modern Hebrew as well. I started with her three book course and then purchased the Speaking Hebrew course. She is an excellent teacher and always available. You get out of her courses what you put into it. I highly recommend the investment in the course as it’s worth every penny.

I would thoroughly recommend the ‘Hebrew by Inbal’ course. I started my journey learning Hebrew almost 2 years ago and during that time I have paused my learning more than I have been studying the Hebrew language. But, I do intend to go back to it when the time is right, and that’s the good thing about this course - Inbal is on hand indefinitely, there is not closing date for completing the course. My personal journey learning Hebrew has had many setbacks due to various family health issues and also a tragic bereavement. I’m probably one of the best people to encourage you as I know what it’s like to feel it’s pointless trying. If you have the determination you will succeed- so what are you waiting for?

I started from program and I still continue to work it out. I chose the full course with few divided payments.
I am amazed with the all components of the program. With this very practical course I got a friend for life! Inbal’s Shabbat story is always very awaited by me and my friends- there are weekly lessons on life perspective from beautiful soul, that happens American Israeli!

it is great course no question about Inbal you are doing great job

Before I started this course I had some knowledge of Hebrew grammar but was unable to speak it. I was also unsure of how to pronounce the language. I found the exercises, vocabulary guides and teaching format very easy to follow. They all reinforced my theoretical knowledge, as well as giving me the confidence to actually speak. Inbal's feedback was very prompt and helpful.

Having to try and learn Hebrew on my own was met with many obstacles and challenges. After enrolling in this course, everything began to make more sense. It has provided me with a strong foundation and understanding of the nuances of speaking Hebrew, which I was missing.

Inbal is a fabulous teacher whose methodology, valuable insight, guidance, and feedback have significantly improved my vocabulary, pronunciation, and confidence in speaking Hebrew.

If you’re on the fence as to whether or not this course is for you, I definitely recommend the Practically Speaking Hebrew course, you won’t be disappointed.

I've never taken a foreign language before.This one was very appealing, its a living and historic language over 3000 years. Its really nice you can pace yourself. With the Booklets, and Inbal's Online Course, its step by step, removes the doubt one may have. Inbal's video's, also demonstrate its not to late. Listen, play back the Online Courses if you want, and video's, there are jewels in every one. Challenging, yes, but rewarding. Shalom!

Amazing Hebrew teacher, worth every moment of this class.

I’m a super slow learner and it is not easy to build up vocabularies. English is not even my first language. BUT Inbal’s teaching approach encourages me to continue. I’m trying to use a simple sentence adding relevant elements to me, such as / ef ‘shar ka ‘feh e ‘khad/ then adding / eem har ‘beh kha ‘lav ve b ‘lee soo ‘kar/. Perhaps finishes with /be va ka ‘shah/ . Then I never forget some words like milk, sugar, with, without, please…. , and /e-‘khad/ is one in masculine form. Numbers are oh sooo challenging (LOL) but I would say studying Hebrew is my life-long project… Heaps of Toda rava, Inbal.

I started hebrew years back, alone at first then with real friends with real intentions to teach. There were setbacks. Time among others, for them but also for me. I'm not a quitter and because I have been navigating with a few other languages, I know how to get by.
But where I am and with what I'm doing, I need more than just getting by. I need to dive deep into the language because in Israel, we need to build bridges. And what I have learned about these people is their knack for relationships. I want to be able to meet them there, not just on the surface.
A really good friend gave out Inbal's link. She herself went through hebrew, having made alyah more than 30 years ago. She sent it to me in a really serious tone, "This is for you. Trust me, I wish I had her when I was learning hebrew". It didn't take me long to decide.
And here's the review : Inbal, she's a real teacher. She knows how to get you through it. She knows how to decipher the knots like she herself is in it. I'm still in the first course, but she has a gift of giving you already the panorama, at the same time, making you really go forward. She knows exactly where she is going. You just need to take the step. One at a time.

100% best learn to speak Hebrew course by far! I did an Ulpan course nearly 20yrs ago and have forgotten a lot but this is great! So much more user friendly! Toda raba Inbal! 💖

I am one of your students. Learning Hebrew by building sentences with the new vocabulary in each lesson is making a big difference for me. Hearing myself actually speaking complete sentences in Hebrew at the end of each lesson has been very exciting. ❤️

I highly recommend Inbal’s Practically Speaking Hebrew course, it was very comprehensive and the lessons were sized beautifully as to not overwhelm. I loved her teaching styles and the repetition of phrases and words helped to solidify the content. Inbal was very encouraging and the cheerleading from her sweat, sweat soul permeated the pages and made me feel more confident in my ability to succeed.

Right from the days of my youth, I have been wanting to learn Hebrew. At that time my motivations were not clear. There were no courses offered and the only way at that time was to enroll myself in a Hebrew school which was very few and far between in the country I grew up and so was not very practical. Remember I am talking about the days when Internet was not universally available.
Many years later, my motivations became clear and more serious, (I don't want to go into them now as it's a story for another day) and I looked around to discover ways in which I could start learning Hebrew. By then Duolingo and other language learning apps had made their appearance. Well, I tried a few of them and eventually gave up. I despaired of ever being able to learn that beautiful language. But as they say, when the student is ready, the teacher appears. In my case, Inbal appeared like magic. It was indeed a miracle. I was scrolling through Facebook (which I normally don't do) when I came across Inbal's website. Something about her voice which invited people to try her method of learning Hebrew intrigued and resonated with me. I tentatively purchased her first module. I was hooked from the very first lesson. She makes learning Hebrew so easy. You know there are notoriously difficult sounds like the R, KH etc in the Hebrew language which is so very difficult to get by English speakers. But with Inbal's tips I got them so easily. But she is so modest that she will claim that it is all the students' effort. But I say that without her tips and the patience with which Inbal teaches I would never have gotten those sounds right.
It goes without saying that I have since purchased her entire course and I am progressing very nicely in Hebrew. Thank you Inbal.
Your motivations to learn Hebrew might be many but you can add this reason "The sheer pleasure of learning Hebrew with Inbal."
Try Hebrew by Inbal. You will not regret it.

A very satisfied student,

Ranga

I am proud to say I have read every parsha since I started. I am now reading the Hebrew too! So cool

I love Hebrew by Inbal. I did the reading and writing course and am now going through Practically Speaking. I can't wait for my next trip to Israel! No more <> for this gal thanks to Inbal!
