2026 Fall BYNA Conversational Hebrew Class: Level 1
Prerequisite: Completion of at least the first-level beginner Hebrew class. If you have not taken the BYNA beginner Hebrew but have done language study, are familiar with the alef bet, and can read Hebrew, feel free to enroll!
Brand New Course! We are excited to announce our first BYNA Conversational Hebrew Class! Are you planning a trip to Israel? Would you like to learn how to introduce yourself, go shopping and talk to friends in Hebrew? This course will be taught by Gerardo Rodriguez, assisted by his sister Sophie, coached and mentored by Michail Bantseev. While our other Hebrew classes focus on writing and introductory grammar, this course will focus strictly on conversation in modern Hebrew and reading.
