Talk To Strangers

Online event for you to practice your Hebrew
even when social distancing

In 3 groups for 3 different levels, we’ll discuss current affairs while learning relevant words and running debates and discussions. Anyone can join, as long as you have basic knowledge in Hebrew, from beginners to advanced. Just pick the right Zoom link according to the sentence that describes best you level.

I can understand basic sentences provided that the other person talk slowly, I use mostly present tense forms and have a little knowledge of past tense conjugations, I can get around for very basic tasks.

I can “get around” and communicate briefly using all three tenses (past, present, future). I can describe myself, my background and even my opinion although I lack fluency and am forced to use “simple language” whenever I have to describe matters of deeper meaning.

I can understand the main points of work or school related conversations. I can deal with day-to-day situations without a problem and am able to explain my hopes, dreams, opinions and plans.I feel like I can’t understand nuances in the language and still having hard time reading news articles, and communicating on topics I have no interest in.

About Ulpan Bayit

OUR TEACHERS

Whether a musician, an actor, a linguist or a dancer, all our teachers have the very best training: the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s program for Hebrew Teaching as a Foreign Language. Young, experienced and enthusiastic, our teachers are all passionate about the Hebrew language.

OUR METHOD

Using modern everyday language, in Ulpan Bayit we are teaching EVERYTHING you need to know in Hebrew. From the basics of reading and writing, through everyday language, up until getting an academic level, we take you from any level of Hebrew to being a real fluent user of the language, while relying on the classic Immersion techniques – teaching Hebrew in Hebrew.

OUR MISSION

Ulpan Bayit was founded in 2012 in order to provide a modern approach to Hebrew learning. Working in small groups, focusing on up-to-date language, preparing our students to the modern work job market. We’re incorporating modern culture, holding weekly events and lectures, and allowing Hebrew enthusiasts learning Hebrew in a secular, liberal and open minded environment.

JUST SOME OF WHAT OUR STUDENTS HAD TO SAY ABOUT US:

I have been absolutely blown away by the quality of Ulpan Bayit. Most importantly, the learning environment is one of great support and fun, but also one that pushes students to work very hard and apply themselves in ways that will be conducive to growth and success with acquiring Hebrew proficiency. Across the board, the teachers are highly dedicated, motivated, and passionate, and that makes for a really fun learning environment. They are highly trained and know what they are doing. I genuinely couldn't recommend this Ulpan more highly!

Wow! What an ulpan! After a month intensive intermediate course (Gimmel) I can safely say my confidence in, knowledge and appreciation of the Hebrew language and Israeli culture has increased more than I could have imagined. The truly excellent teachers go above and beyond to keep classes interesting, engaging and fun. The best way I can describe my experience is that I felt as if I signed up to be part of the best community in Tel Aviv without realizing it! The extracurricular activities and events like yoga, film screenings, home cooked lunches and more really allowed me the opportunity to immerse myself in the experience. I feel extremely privileged to have been a student!

The whole team is awesome; everyone helps, supports and encourages you in every respect and really makes you feel at home. I think it is because of this open, friendly and relaxed atmosphere that you do not get stressed out although the intensive courses have a tight schedule and you REALLY learn A LOT. It is all rather interactive instead of a more conservative, lecture-like teaching style, and this helps a lot in actually starting to communicate in Hebrew. So from me a big THANK YOU to my teachers and all the wonderful people who make Ulpan Bait really deserve its name.
