Where can you learn Hebrew?
Free courses
Бесплатный иврит от государства – Конечно это всегда приятно получить что то бесплатно, но важно понимать что именно вам предоставляют. Дело в том что далеко не всем эта превилегия бесплатного обучения иврита полагается. Во вторых, даже если вы и являетесь “счастливчиками” и вам предоставили бесплатные курсы иврита. Важно понимать что именно вы получите. Дело в том, что бесплатные ульпаны очень похожи на школьную программу, в которой вы учите к примеру Английский язык 4 года, а по окончанию вы не можете связать и пару слов. По сути бесплатные ульпаны предлагают вам обучение каждый день, по 5-6 часов. И курс длится пол года. В конце вы получите очень высокие граматические знания иврита, которыми не владеют даже израильтяне. А вот чтоб связать правильно пару слов, вам будет очень тяжело.
Private Schools / Ulpans
Private Ulpans are known for their effectiveness. They teach you only what you truly need, which is why the number of study hours is significantly lower, but the results are much stronger. In just six months, on average, you won’t complete just one level like in free Ulpans—you will master two levels: Aleph and Bet.
What is Hebrew?
Hebrew
Here you will find answers to some of your questions about Hebrew. Hebrew is a Semitic language—like Arabic and Aramaic—and, like most ancient Semitic languages, its alphabet does not include vowels. However, between the mid to late first millennium, rabbis known as the Masoretes developed a system of dots and dashes to indicate how words should be pronounced. Torah scrolls and most modern Hebrew writings are still written without vowels.
The Revival of Hebrew
After not being spoken for two millennia, it was suddenly revived.
Eliezer Ben-Yehuda is considered the father of modern Hebrew. He developed a dictionary for modern Hebrew, incorporating words from ancient and medieval Hebrew while also creating new words. In 1922, Hebrew became one of the official languages of the British Mandate in Palestine, and today it is a modern language spoken by the citizens of Israel and Jews around the world.
