Study hub

Honest start

Learn the script early (and know what niqqud is even if you drop it later). Decide modern Israeli Hebrew vs liturgical reading — different materials.

Month plan

1. Script trainer + print decoding.
2. Beginner course + daily short audio.
3. First 500 recognition; write five micro-sentences.
4. One speaking appointment; accept messy gender/number agreement.

Traps

• Skipping script because vowels feel scary.
• Mixing Biblical and modern goals in week one.
• Apps without real audio finish lines.

Daily 25-minute template

1. 5 min — script or pronunciation warm-up.
2. 10 min — First 500 or topic deck.
3. 10 min — listening you finish + 30-second retell.

Resource use on this site

Start with one free course from the list below, one listening habit, and one reference. Use on-site tools linked above. Ignore the rest of the directory until those three habits are alive for two weeks.

Progress checks

• Can you decode the script without romanization?
• Can you finish a graded clip and retell three facts?
• Have you spoken — even badly — four times this month?

A solid practice day

Pick five high-frequency words or phrases, say one sentence with each aloud, finish a short graded clip that might contain them, and write a brief diary line. If the clip is too hard, step down one level — don’t open another app.
