“I had a wonderful experience taking classes at Ulpan. My teacher Linoy was awesome and extremely professional. Thank you so much look forward to continuing learning and expanding my Hebrew .”
“I deeply appreciated the time at Ulpan Or. The one-on-one conversation and support was exactly what I needed to help my Hebrew. I was also grateful for the lack of pressure regarding homework, because it showed that the work was really on me and for me. I hope to continue with another course in the spring, finances permitting.”
“The teachers at Ulpan Or are amazing--incredibly positive, very knowledgeable. Every time you get something right, you get amazing positive feedback which encourages you to continue, which is possibly the most important aspect of language learning.”
“This was a fabulous experience that pushed me to speak! The materials we use for our sessions (TV shows, news articles, etc) are wonderful. The teachers are all kind, thoughtful, and patient.”
“I am enjoying my sessions with Ulpan Or. My instructor is friendly, encouraging, efficient and thorough. I look forward to continuing my studies.
Thank you”
“I never went to Hebrew School as a young person. When I tried to learn Hebrew, it was in a class at Temple from the Men's Club the same summer I was learning ASL (American Sign Language) for work . The variety of ways of teaching with Ulpan-Or is really very good.
I hope to review what I have learned in late Spring 2018, so I may interact with Israeli visitors
coming to the U.S.”
“Ulpan Or has a method of learning that really works. In a short amount of time you are not only immersed in the language but given the skills to progress rapidly. No matter what your Hebrew goals are, this program works!”
“I have done Ulpan Or's Sabra program (in Tel Aviv) three times now. Each time, I have noticibly advanced in my Hebrew. On top of that, it is enjoyable. The instructors and staff are very enthusiastic about students learning, creating a very personal, kind of family-type atmosphere.”
“I study at Ulpan Or because I want to speak conversational Hebrew competently. The methodology of listening to the sound of the verb groups in order to remember correct
conjugation has been very helpful to me. The one-on-one teaching is very interactive and personalized. The materials covered include current topics in the news--with vocabulary words, text according to the level of the student, and links to the actual media broadcast.
In addition to ebooks to advance the student through grammar and syntax, students study popular and traditional Israeli songs and watch selected television shows with accompanying
study guides. Tours to sites around the city are guided by native speakers, with students preparing ahead by reading and listening to informational guidebooks. I've been taking GDL courses online during the months that I am back home, so my Hebrew continues to progress even when I am not staying in Israel.”
“Very sensitive to students strengths and needs, striving for excellence is the standard . Staff teachers very professional, friendly ,helpful you really do learn! I’ll be back next year love the people, classes and the progress I’ve made, my teachers get all the credit”
“I loved this! Coming here was the highlight of my week. Gal is an extraordinary teacher, so easy to talk to, so pleasant and always smiling. I enjoyed the mix of materials used - articles, videos of speeches, songs, and television news & reports, plus watching an Israeli tv series at home. Having a short list of vocabulary words at the beginning of in-class computer assignments, and sometimes slow and then regular speed versions of the videos, was a good method of increasing my understanding of each assignment. I think the fact that they were all relatively current was important - the content was interesting. I learned a lot of new words and expressions, I think I learned to speak a little bit more smoothly and quickly, and I am less fearful of speaking Hebrew to Israelis and turning on the tv or watching an Israeli program in Hebrew. I am recommending Ulpan-Or to everyone!”
“All the staff, tutors and Admin are so helpful and understanding. You are given plenty of support in person, online and over the phone. All learning material are of a high quality, ranging from books to interactive computer programs.”
