“The course was excellent. The first 2 weeks I was there everyday and found it a bit too intensive. I enjoyed the 3 days more. I was trying to think of a better way to organize the flash cards for review- I had 5 very full bags. I especially enjoyed the touring component both from increasing my vocabulary and also the chance to speak more and see and learn about the area. I still feel I need work on my grammer but overall an amazing experience. The teachers are really fantastic, so friendly and supportive. I also really enjoyed the graduation on Thursdays and the opportunity to meet other students”
“I think Gal was a perfect teacher for me. I wish, however, I had listened to the advice to change teachers perhaps mid-month. I only realized this when Gal was out and Sarah substituted. It is good to have more than one teacher, and therefore, more than one perspective.”
“1) Gal was an incredible teacher- encouraging and great at explaining concepts. Also great at choosing what was important for me to focus on and adapting to my specific learning needs. I am so grateful to her. She was always upbeat and happy to teach me. It's clear she really loves her job.
2) I really enjoyed my tiyul with Akiva. He was really easy to talk with.
3) I really liked all of the words- like the word for”
“really happy with the course. It's a lot of information so the last few days my head got an overload. It's good to switch to less tiring things, like watching "katmandu".There was a mix-up with the time of the tiyul; I didn't mind but I can imagine that can be annoying for someone with other fixed programs.Tal was a great teacher and I had a lot of fun!”
“I cant believe I got this much Hebrew in such a short period of time. It's been "cmo nes v haloom." I really had an amazing experience I will treasure forever.”
“Ulpan Or was the best Ulpan experience I've had yet to receive in Israel. With their method of teaching, books, audio and amazing staff, I had all the tools needed to intensify my understanding and confidence in Hebrew. Highly recommend this Ulpan and looking forward to coming back!”
“A time to find deeper in the language with the songs to get to know the soul, the spirit. I enjoyed to read the newspaper to take part the daily life in hebrew.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. I have taken Hebrew courses for a long time and this was by far the most helpful and effective. I came in two weeks ago with a solid basis and now I feel much more confident with higher level vocabulary as well as fluidity in speaking.
I want to give a huge thank you to my teacher Emmanuel as well as the Tiyul instructors that I worked with (Rachel, Inbal, Akiva, and Adi) for pushing me and helping to dramatically improve my Hebrew language skills.”
