Our Hebrew language classes begin with learning the Hebrew script in Term 1, and focus on conversation and basic introductory grammar. Subsequent Terms enforce the Hebrew script and concentrate on learning basic Hebrew grammar, increasing vocabulary, and reading and writing practice. In addition, popular Hebrew songs are also taught. Our Hebrew classes emphasise literacy (for those interested in Biblical Hebrew) and conversation (for those interested in learning to speak modern Hebrew).

• Hebrew 101: Introductory Hebrew (begining students
• Hebrew 103: Introductory Hebrew (contuining students)

Hebrew 101 is for new learners with an emphasis on first learning the Hebrew script, and Hebrew 103 for those who began studying with us in 2019 Term 3 and who have already completed two Terms of study. Each of these groups will continue throughout 2020.

Introductory Hebrew 101 classes are for beginners with no knowledge of Hebrew or the Hebrew script. During Term 1 classes. we focus on learning the Hebrew (עִבְרִית) script, while focusing on basic conversation, grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing. Term 1 Introductory classes begin with learning the Hebrew (עִבְרִית) script, writing and reading practice, and include basic introductory grammar and conversation. Term 2 classes (Hebrew 102) will continue with Hebrew (עִבְרִית) script reading and writing practice, and will continue with introductory grammar, vocabulary, and conversation. Our Term 1 Hebrew 101 class is currently on offer on Monday evenings from 6:00-7:30pm. This class begins on Monday 3 February 2020 and runs for eight successive weeks, with the last class of the Term held on Monday 23 March 2020. Subsequent classes (Hebrew 102, 103, and 104) will be held in the same time slot for the rest of the year.

The Introductory Hebrew 103 class continues to build upon the learning completed in Terms 1 and 2, with continued emphasis on increasing conversational skills, learning additional rules of Hebrew grammar, expanding vocabulary, and improving our reading and writing skills. This class for those who began study in 2019, will continue to be offered on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-7:30pm. This class begins on Wednesday 5 February 2020 and runs for eight successive weeks, with the last class of the Term held on Wednesday 25 March 2020. Subsequent classes (Hebrew 104, 201, and 202) will be held in the same time slot for the rest of the year, provided there is sufficient interest.
