Vocabulary won't teach you Hebrew!
Here's what will:

The right method for YOUR specific goal.

I have one program for speaking and understanding Hebrew

And a separate series for reading and writing. Why?

Because your brain learns these skills differently!

Once you complete either program, you get lifetime access to free Hebrew lessons so you can practice, maintain, and build on what you've learned forever.

No more jumping from program to program.

No more getting stuck in beginner mode.

Just clear paths to real Hebrew skills.

I created a proprietary phonetic system—and it’s a total game changer.

✨ Skip Hebrew letters if you want
✨ Read & pronounce Hebrew in English—but sound Israeli
✨ No more guessing, just confidence

It’s built specifically for English speakers—simple, clear, and fast.

Included in BOTH programs:
📚 Hebrew 1 2 3 (reading & writing)
🗣️ Practically Speaking Hebrew (speaking & understanding)

It’s like Hebrew training wheels… that actually work.

Your breakthrough starts here 👇

You wanted to speak Hebrew… not get stuck in reading and writing before you even begin.

But that’s exactly what conventional programs make you do.

They throw you into the deep end of the alphabet, reading and writing, the vowel system —

even if your goal is simply to speak and understand.

It’s overwhelming.

It delays progress.

And it makes something that should be exciting feel impossible.

That’s why I teach Hebrew differently.

I created two completely separate programs:

🟡 One for speaking and understanding

🔵 One for reading and writing

You can take either. Or both. In any order.

No more waiting until you “finish the alphabet.”

You can start speaking Hebrew from Day 1 —

and actually feel your progress within days, not months.

It’s not just easier.

It’s smarter.

And it works.

Here's another super useful example of two Hebrew words with different meanings that differ only in the syllable stressed, and how one can help you remember the other:

Syllable stressing in Hebrew is much more than a linguistic detail; it can change the entire meaning of words. That is why, in my “Practically Speaking Hebrew” course, we dive into these essential pronunciation nuances using my PSP (Phonetic System for Pronunciation). By mastering stress patterns and how sound them effectively, you avoid confusion and communicate clearly with precision.

Hebrew by Inbal – Making Hebrew Fun, Practical, and Unstoppable!

Israelis generally have a decent grasp of English. Many signs are in English, Hebrew, and Arabic, and you can usually get by in Israel with English alone. But let me tell you, knowing a good amount of basic Hebrew can transform your trip to Israel in ways you might not expect.

You’ll pick up more than you expect, even if you still consider yourself a beginner. It all depends on how good that basic Hebrew that you learned is. How relevant and practical it is, and how much did it teach you about how Hebrew works so you can connect the dots when you're there.

That’s why I designed my program to help you achieve practical Hebrew skills in just a few weeks, at your own pace. Whether you want to walk or run, the path for success is laid out for you.

Start your journey today and transform your next visit to Israel. Don't wait until you're there to realize how much more enriching your experience could be.

📚 Today, we're not just learning words; we're exploring phrases that are essential in everyday conversations.

Whether you're comparing your favorite foods, discussing movies, or simply engaging in friendly chatter, knowing how to express "better" and "worse" in Hebrew can add depth to your conversations.

🗣️ These phrases are more than just vocabulary; they're a gateway to expressing opinions and preferences in Hebrew, helping you connect more authentically with the language and its culture.

🌈 Remember, every step in learning a new language opens up a world of possibilities. So, let's embrace the journey together! Watch the reel, practice along, and see how these phrases can transform your Hebrew conversations.

✨ Don't forget to save this reel for practice and share it with fellow Hebrew enthusiasts!

🔊 Turn on the sound, and let's make learning Hebrew an exciting adventure!

Consider 'Tahini', the beloved sesame paste, which rolls off the tongue with a stress on the second to last syllable: /t-‘khee-nah/. Shift the emphasis to the last syllable, and you have /t-khee-‘nah/, the noun for 'grinding' in Hebrew.

Now, while you're likely new to the Hebrew noun meaning ‘Grinding’, you probably know how to say 'Tahini' in English, if not in Hebrew. Because 'Tahini' is relatively close to the Hebrew /t-‘khee-nah/, use that to remember the word 'Tahini' in Hebrew, and add a mental note that the noun ‘Grinding’ in Hebrew (just like the sesame seeds that are ground in the process of making Tahini) is the same word, just moving the syllable stressed to the end.

So, whether you're perfecting your Tahini or Hummus recipes or navigating Hebrew conversations, remember: Pronunciation and syllable stressing are key! And if you want to transform your Hebrew skills, comment the word SPEAK to get my video all about the Practically Speaking Course.

In my books and courses, you're not just learning words; you're embracing the essence of Hebrew by mastering the perfect pronunciation and intonation. This could not be more important, because in Hebrew, like in the words "rice" and "packing" (present tense, singular masculine), the stress on different syllables completely changes the meaning of the word. And these words are not a single case. Far from it!

That's where my PSP (Phonetic System for Pronunciation) comes into play. It's a game-changer in language learning. I've designed this system to guide you effortlessly through the nuances of Hebrew pronunciation. How?

By marking the stressed syllable with a ' sign. It makes it crystal clear which syllable should be emphasized. This "small" detail makes a massive difference in ensuring you’re understood correctly, sound just like a native speaker, and most importantly - say the right word.
