More about Level 1

Taught in English. Level 1 is for students who don’t have a clue about Hebrew and for those who maybe studied it a little bit before but want or need to restart at the very beginning. Level 1 coursework involves a comprehensive overview of the Hebrew alphabet and the sounds they represent that is reinforced through exercises in vocabulary and basic grammar. At the end of Level 1, students are able to read and sound out any written word as well as deliver a basic self presentation.

More about Level 2

Level 2 is for those who are relatively comfortable with the Hebrew alphabet and sounds as well as have very limited vocabulary. In Level 2, the professor reviews everything from Level 1and then starts to work students through more complex sentence structures and build vocabulary.

For students who think they may be Level 2 or higher, choose the level that sounds most appropriate for you based on these descriptions and go ahead and sign up for a specific class. We try to do an informal placement phone call with all new incoming Level 2 and above students for both you and us to be sure that the level you choose isn’t either too advanced or not advanced enough. If your level choice doesn't make sense when we talk with you on the phone, we'll make a game plan to transfer you into a different class at that time. We prefer to make this placement call after you sign up online because about 70-80% of students do place themselves accurately.

More about Level 3

Level 3 is for those who can comfortably speak/write in the present tense (I'm traveling to Israel), as well as in third person (He's going home). Students should feel comfortable conjugating to plurals in Hebrew (They're flying to Greece/We're walking from here) and also have a clear understanding of the past tense, simple tense (I did that) and also the future tense (I will be going far away). Students should have some experience with Hebrew vocabulary and be able to introduce themselves, speak about hobbies and answer basic questions (My name is_______, How are you? Where are you from?). Level 3 further refines the Hebrew skill set of said conjugations and allows students to form more complex sentences by combining one or more tenses in the same sentence (I'll be going home as I've already finished my work for the day). There will also be exercises to help read Hebrew without vowels in order to increase retention of Hebrew vocabulary.

How do I know which level I am?

Each 20-hour class is a “level” (Level 1, Level 2, etc.) and most students choose to continue on to the next level at the end. If you are an absolute beginner and/or wish to start at the very beginning, you should choose a Level 1 class. Level 2 is for students who are at least a tiny bit familiar with how the language works and have taken at least one class at some point before, even if it was a long time ago.

A Level 2 student can usually struggle through saying something like: "Hello, my name is ___, I live in Brooklyn. I have a cat. My brother is a professor…"; but would not be able to say more complex things like "I wanted to meet up tonight, but I forgot that you aren't available."

For students who think they may be Level 2 or higher, choose the level that sounds most appropriate for you based on the descriptions and go ahead and sign up for a class. We try to do a informal placement phone call with all new incoming Level 2 and above students for both you and us to be sure that the level you choose isn’t either too advanced or not advanced enough. If your level choice doesn't make sense when we talk with you on the phone, we'll make a plan to transfer you into a different class at that time. We prefer to make this placement call after you sign up online because about 70-80% of students do place themselves accurately.

If we aren't able to reach you for the placement call before your class starts, do attend the first session. If your professor agrees that you have placed yourself either too high or two low after that first class, then we are happy to transfer you to a different class at that time.

If you want to go ahead and purchase the book(s) required for the course you sign up for so that you have it in time for the first class, but end up changing to a different level class that uses a different book, we are happy to buy the unused new book back from you for no more than the price listed on our website (fluentcity.com/books) for that specific book.
