Why pick studying Hebrew online?
Do you remember those depressing winter days when you had to get out of the comfort of your home, clean the vehicle from the snow, drive on slippery roads, get caught in traffic, being discouraged getting late to classes and so on… On the internet your class is just a click away, you don’t have to waste your time and energy to get there. Studying on line is flexible, the time is not fixed for you, and you choose the class time. Moreover, the course curriculum is directly catered for you, and it is instructed one on one or in a small group. Instructions can be reached from anywhere in the world as long as you are connected to the internet. Imagineyourself travelling to Mexico and feel like speaking in Ivrit, but you have no one to speak to, just click, join up in a session, and you will be connected to a professional Hebrew instructor. If you travel to Tel Aviv and you want to speak with the people there in Ivrit, drill your Ivrit online every night of your visit so you can use it the following day. You can also ask your teacher to focus on the specific vocabulary that you require while staying in Israel. Ivrit learning on line does not have to be a formal session with a strict schedule and program. It can be a simple discussion session in Ivrit with an experienced Hebrew teacher; it can be conducted one on one or in a small group. Using today’s technology like Oovoo, can bring the teachers to your home, you will be able to see him and if you have a camera you will be able to be seen you as well.
Online Hebrew learning has other great benefits; its administrators can recruit the best Hebrew teachers from all over the world to instruct you Ivrit because the internet is not restricted to a confined place. Therefore you will never have instructors who will translate the English word “Hotdog” as Kelev cham, which literally means a dog which is hot, instead of the word “naknikya”, and believe me I have seen it happen.
Teachers also instruct from the comfort of their home. They too do not have to waste time and energy traveling. Therefore you, the student benefit from having a calmer and relaxed teacher who can devote himself to his students, giving them his full attention and creating positive learning condition and constructive student-teacher relationship.
