Question 1

How long does it take to learn Hebrew?

Accepted Answer

Most students notice real progress within 4-8 weeks when practicing consistently. With our Functional Approach and live classes, you build speaking confidence faster than traditional methods. We also use a monthly "Lesson Check" so you can track your true progress with objective data and applied speaking evaluations, eliminating the guesswork.

Question 2

Do beginners need to know the Hebrew alphabet first?

Accepted Answer

To join our live group classes, you must have a basic ability to read and write Hebrew (which means reaching at least Lesson 15 on our platform). However, if you are a complete beginner, you can start immediately with our self-paced interactive lessons and free resources to learn the alphabet and build your foundation before joining the live sessions.

Question 3

How big are the live group classes?

Accepted Answer

Classes are intentionally kept intimate — never more than 8-10 students. This ensures a safe, supportive environment where everyone gets personal attention, real speaking practice, and direct real-time feedback from Aviv.

Question 4

Are the lessons self-paced or scheduled?

Accepted Answer

Both! We offer a complete learning ecosystem. You can access interactive lessons, topic booklets, and smart flashcards 24/7 to build your vocabulary at your own pace. Then, you apply what you've learned in our live group classes, which run multiple times a week at scheduled times so you can choose sessions that fit your life.

Question 5

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in two ways! You can create a free account to take a placement test, try 2 interactive lessons at your exact level, and access flashcards with no credit card required. When you are ready for the full experience, we offer a 7-day free trial for our Premium group classes, letting you experience the live methodology completely risk-free.

Question 6

What happens if I miss a class or my schedule changes?

Accepted Answer

We built our flexible credit system for busy lives. You can cancel your live class registration right up until the session begins and get your credit refunded instantly. Plus, any unused credits automatically roll over to the next month as long as your subscription remains active, so you never waste your money.
