Advanced Hebrew
(Fall 2023)
If you’ve already studied Hebrew and can hold basic conversations, this course will help you build toward greater fluency. Through discussions about poems, songs and short stories, you will expand your vocabulary, learn more complex sentence structures, acquire action nouns and learn conjugations of verb groups (binyanim) in all tenses — and more.
Textbook used for course: Agadah shel safa by Mazal Cohen. For those interested in extra verb practice, a recommended workbook is Hapoal lelomdei ivrit by Chava Ferstey and Tamar Weil.
