Hebrew Learning Programs for Adults

Classes

Tachles

A conversational Hebrew program designed to build practical vocabulary and develop real Hebrew speaking skills. Sessions focus on fun, game-based learning, interactive role-play, and exposure to authentic Israeli conversation. Participants will expand their vocabulary, begin forming their own sentences, practice real Israeli dialogue, learn useful slang, discover Israeli singers and songs, and enjoy a lively “mini trip to Israel” in every class. It’s a refreshing and enjoyable alternative to the traditional Hebrew classroom.
