Up to now, you have probably learned many new sentences in Hebrew by heart and you feel comfortable using them in various situations. Now is the time to use your knowledge, take off the training wheels and begin expressing yourself freely! In this intermediate course, we introduce different texts about central Israeli issues and culture. Through these texts, you will enrich your vocabulary, learn verbs in the past tense and practice new syntactic structures. We will encourage you to express your opinion about the texts we read in class, thereby improving your fluency.
