If you want to learn the secrets of French, its complicated spelling, its sometimes obscure grammar, the history of its vocabulary ... do Latin (and Greek!)!

Moreover, a Latin course is compulsory at the University when studying Romanesque diapers (French, Italian, Spanish, etc.), ancient history and archeology.

At the same time, you will discover the foundations of our civilization which has deep roots in Antiquity.

I taught Latin and Greek in secondary 1 (9 a.m. to 11 a.m.) and 2 in the cantons of Vaud and Geneva: I can help prepare for exams.

Learn Hebrew from scratch or improve your Hebrew. Whether you want to work on speaking, reading, writing or listening comprehension, I can help you.

Sometimes what we learn in official classes doesn't match reality, and I believe that learning from native speakers is the best way to assimilate ourselves in a new language.
My classes would include day-to-day common phrases and would focus on the correct yet simple way to express yourselves in Hebrew, and at the same time I always explain the proper Hebrew version of things. I think it ́s important to know both :)

If you're starting from scratch then we will go over the Alef-Beit, get familiar with the sound of the words and slowly build up a conversational vocabulary and reading and writing abilities, all depends on your interests.

Already know the basics of Hebrew?
Awesome! let's go deeper and learn the grammar so that we can read and understand news, or practice our conversation skills by talking about out interests and hobbies.

I am a German, Italian, Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic teacher with a wide international experience. I worked in Italy, Germany, Austria, and since 2018 I have lived and worked in the UK (Edinburgh).
I offer classes both for *individuals* (one-to-one tuition) and for *groups*.
It does not really matter whether you are a complete beginner or have studied the language before, my classes will be the perfect fit! As each person learns in her/his own way, I provide tailored lesson plans to meet your individual needs. I work at your own pace, targeting your desires and problem areas. You will get homework only if you want to.

The first lesson normally is a quick assessment of your existing knowledge. Through chatting and showing you a couple of pictures/games, I can easily infer which level you are at. This process is very useful (and, believe me, it does not hurt! So, do not panic!) because it allows me to draft a learning plan, setting some *milestones* you can/will achieve (which will be reviewed regularly). They encourage and motivate you, and work as a stimulus to do your best in a very effective and productive way. You will be getting constructive feedback from me and we will be working towards your goals together.

The course is designed primarily to enable you, gradually, to translate Hebrew biblical texts (the Hebrew Bible for Jews, the Old Testament for Christians) and access their original text. You will also learn to read and write this ancient language.

Biblical Hebrew is not an Indo-European language (like the Latin languages or Greek, for example) and follows its own organizational (or linguistic) logic, which must be understood step by step. Even in its rudimentary form, this language opens up a different way of thinking and constitutes a remarkable source of intellectual and cultural richness.

The course aims, firstly, to master the fundamental principles of Hebrew grammar and, secondly, to acquire a basic vocabulary enabling students to read and translate simple passages from the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament. The course also aims to progressively develop text analysis skills: identifying verb forms, noun structures, and the main particles specific to Hebrew. Historical and cultural elements may be addressed in dedicated sessions as needed.

The teaching method is based on a progressive approach (I prioritize understanding over performance), combined with attentive and caring support, using a variety of tools adapted to the expectations and profile of each student.

Finally, for the most advanced students or those already possessing a basic knowledge of biblical Hebrew, I offer an introduction to Aramaic and Syriac, sister languages of Hebrew, also present in some biblical writings.

Speak Hebrew Naturally: Relaxed Conversation

Shalom! I am a native Hebrew speaker with 18 months of online teaching experience.

Gentle Corrections: Improving your pronunciation and grammar naturally as we chat.

Note: Optimized for intermediate learners; beginners or advanced students are welcome upon request.

Tired of school methods that don't really get you talking? Or of inaccurate translations of sacred texts?

Shalom, my name is Yaacov. Originally from the former Yishuv of Jerusalem, Hebrew (modern and biblical) is my native language. Trilingual and passionate, I offer customized courses, free of unnecessary jargon.

Choose your path (or combine both):
• Modern Hebrew Course (Daily Life & Aliyah): Forget pure theory. The focus is on oral expression, confidence, local slang, and practical vocabulary for surviving and communicating in Israel.
• Biblical Hebrew, Torah & Mysticism (Kabbalah) Course: Ideal for those passionate about history or spirituality. Learn the root system, decode the profound meaning of traditional texts, and read the Torah or Kabbalah in the original language. (Introduction to Yiddish possible).
• Yiddish Path: Connect with the authentic language of our ancestors, whether for everyday conversation, culture, or the study of specific texts.
I adapt to your pace, whether you need to learn the alphabet (Aleph-Bet) from scratch or perfect your fluency.
