Learn Hebrew Online with Hebrew Podcasts

Learning a new language takes work and commitment, but the unique dialog format of our Hebrew podcast makes it fun and easy. You can play each lesson multiple times to internalize the material, and you can repeat each line out loud to practice pronunciation and memorize expressions.

The lessons are packed with tidbits of information about the features of the Hebrew language including idiomatic and colloquial expressions and grammar rules. The lessons also touch on Israeli cultural and geographical topics that you'll find useful especially if you plan to visit Israel.

We have beginner and intermediate level lessons:

Beginner lessons have a short dialog (of 40 to 60 words) and introduce a small number of new words relative to previous lessons.

Intermediate lessons have a longer dialog (of 50 to 100 words) and introduce more words, verb structures, and idioms.

As we progress with the course the levels of both "Beginner" and "Intermediate" lessons will gradually advance with longer dialogs and more advanced grammar and expressions. At some point later we'll have "Advanced" lessons with long dialog (of 100 to 250 words) and explanation in Hebrew (in other words, the podcast will be almost entirely Hebrew).

You can subscribe to our Hebrew podcast using iTunes, My Yahoo! or a variety of other RSS readers. It's really easy and is plainly explained in the Tune In section.

The lessons are further enhanced by read-along lesson guides that provide a full transcript, translation, explanations, additional examples, cultural notes, and exercises.

Is it for me?

If you want to learn conversational Hebrew as spoken in Israel, then yes, whether you already know some Hebrew or none at all, you will enjoy the lessons. If you're a beginner and you find a lesson to be a bit hard the first time through, don’t be discouraged. You can listen again and pick up more each time.

We believe that learning is a non-linear process. Therefore we pepper easy-to-follow conversation with some more colorful expressions and a few advanced topics. Some repetition is also useful and you'll see us come back to a topic that we touched on and expand on it in a future lesson.
