Learn Israeli Hebrew, one real word at a time.
The Israeli Hebrew Institute is an online school that teaches modern spoken Israeli Hebrew to adults through Dochi, its daily speaking app, with native Israeli teachers. It has already helped many adults around the world start speaking Hebrew. Its students say so themselves, in video and written reviews on israelihebrewinstitute.com. Students speak from the first lesson, get grammar in small doses, and move on to street Hebrew and slang. Every day the institute publishes one Hebrew word with its vowels, the mistake English speakers make with it, and a quiz, on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and here.
