Hebrew 202: Introductory Hebrew, Part 6
• This is Part 6 of an eight-part Introductory course taught during 8 successive school terms over a 2-year period (take as few or as many as you’d like!) specifically designed for Introductory Hebrew learners who have some experience with the Hebrew language. All of our language programmes focus on acquiring reading and conversational skills, and learning about local culture. Our courses are designed for busy people: we do not expect you to study outside of class, nor do we assign homework (unless you’d like some!). Come and spend 8 class hours per Term (eight 1-hour weekly classes) studying Hebrew and learning about Israeli culture, and have some fun too!
• Introductory Hebrew 202, Part 6 classes continue on from previous courses. During this Term, we continue to improve our reading comprehension while maintaining our focus on vocabulary, grammar, and spoken conversation.
• Those who already understand and speak some Hebrew, but who do not know how to read and write, may also choose to enrol in the Hebrew 101 course. EarthDiverse offers Course Bundles where you can enrol in this course now, and sign up to watch previous Term’s live-recorded class videos at a 50% discount. Email us if you're interested!
• Subsequent Terms continue with Introductory (Hebrew 203-204) and Intermediate (Hebrew 301-404) courses and continue to include additional reading and comprehension practice, continued grammar, vocabulary, and conversation and will continue in the same time slot for the duration of the full course (unless otherwise agreed upon with the instructor).
New material is posted weekly throughout the duration of the course. Video recordings and PDFs from each session are posted here approximately 1-2 days after each class.

However, distance learners will need access to a desktop or laptop computer with a good quality web-camera (tablet devices and mobile phones can also access our live-streamed classes), a built-in microphone (most modern laptops have built-in microphones) or a headset with a microphone. You will also need to download and install the free Zoom software on your computer or device. Those accessing the video recordings will be able to do so with a simple web browser on any device.

However, this may not always be possible. Teachers are not required to teach a class if no students show up, but the teacher has the discretion to record a video with no students present if s/he is unable to postpone a class. Please email or text your teachers if you are unable to attend any specific class session.
