Why the Course Uses Immersive Hebrew

When people try to learn the ancient Jewish language of the Bible, not many of them succeed. And those few who really strive for progress fight to preserve and use what they have learned. The fact is that most people in the world were not created to learn the language using textbooks and memorizing many rules.

Instead, we better learn the language when we use it. We hear and speak on it. While only a few can achieve final success through the traditional course of the seminary, everyone has the ability, given by God, to learn the language in a natural way.

Learning Like a Child Learns a Native Language

How did they learn to speak their native language in childhood? Think about it. Your parents did not start teaching you alphabets and grammar while you were in the cradle. They just talked to you. You listened, you began to understand, and then you spoke a little.

And then you were ready for the alphabet. The Alexbet course tries to get closer to this natural, exciting style of learning, slowly building up your understanding while you watch. This natural way of learning the language is much more pleasant and effective over time, because the sounds and grammar of the Hebrew Bible penetrate your long-term memory through repetition and use.

Making the Course Accessible to Every Language

Since our goal is mainly to teach people who will participate in the translation of the Bible, we want to make it as accessible as possible for any person of any language. That is why you will never hear any English or any other language in the video.

Just like your parents never translated what they told you in childhood into any other language. To help you understand this, our videos allow you to be in the same environment. We try to make everything as clear as possible with the help of context and visual effects.

But you must fully expect that at first you will feel a little disoriented. This is normal. Many people do not like to feel like a child again, trying to guess what is happening. But if you persist and watch the video over and over again, you will eventually begin to master the language effectively.

Practicing Pronunciation and Repetition

The sounds and structure will begin to penetrate your blood. This is great! Again, is it normal to feel lost? Yes, this is perfectly normal, and you should not feel discouraged. The more you do this, the more you will begin to understand the practical value of learning a language instead of just studying it.

After you intuitively study the vocabulary and structure of the language with the help of our videos, you will gradually get acquainted with the Jewish alphabet and eventually learn to read, as well as understand and speak.

A few recommendations for those who look, who are serious about the progress in Hebrew. I strongly recommend practicing the pronunciation of words and phrases by ear, because it will help you master the language and feel that you own it.

In addition, do not miss the video-lectures after each of the several lessons that give you the opportunity to practice by ear and test yourself. You may be surprised how much you have learned after just a few videos.

Even if you can't remember the whole dictionary, don't worry, if you can reproduce it by memory, it's amazing. But most importantly, you will learn and understand this word when you hear it. Watch the lessons in order, because every next lesson we build on what was before and assume that you are already familiar with the vocabulary and grammar presented in the previous videos.
