Students Ask
How many classes will I need to improve my Hebrew?
Most students experience noticeable progress within 10 lessons;
Their vocabulary expands significantly, and they become able to understand more and express themselves in a richer, more confident way. They stop making common mistakes thanks to newfound awareness, their pronunciation becomes clearer and more accurate, and their understanding of previously confusing concepts deepens and sharpens. Additionally, their self-confidence grows, empowering them to use Hebrew more comfortably and effectively.
But here's the catch: The key to success is consistent self-study. Practicing between lessons is crucial and significantly enhances and accelerates your improvement. To achieve the best and fastest results, make sure to always complete your home assignments—this is the most important part. If possible, you can take it a step further by immersing yourself in Hebrew through additional activities, such as watching Israeli content on TV, YouTube, or other platforms, and engaging in Hebrew conversations whenever and with whomever you can.

How can I sound more like an Israeli?
By learning to speak Israeli Hebrew (rather than only traditional Hebrew) and adopting an authentic Israeli accent.

I already know quite a bit of Hebrew, but when it comes to speaking in real-life situations, I lack confidence and often get stuck. What can I do?
You’ve come to the right place. Many students who join UlpaNoya face this very challenge—but not for long. Through UlpaNoya’s unique approach, students quickly and naturally develop growing confidence, as empowerment is placed at the heart of everything I do.
I create a warm, open, and authentic relationship with each student, fostering a nonjudgmental, home-like environment where you feel safe to be yourself. It’s a comforting space that wraps you in a digital hug, offers an attentive ear, and provides professional, creative solutions to any Hebrew challenge you encounter. My students often tell me that learning with me feels like therapy!
The result? A solid sense of confidence that allows you to feel increasingly at ease with Hebrew. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself engaging in Hebrew conversations more often in your daily life, feeling both empowered and rewarded.
I can't understand what Israelis are saying.
This is probably because you've learned traditional or standard Hebrew, but not Israeli Hebrew. To truly understand the natural, everyday speech of native Israelis, it's crucial to learn the Hebrew they actually speak—Israeli Hebrew—which can be very different from traditional or standard Hebrew.

To take it a step further, you can also develop an authentic Israeli accent, which can significantly improve your listening comprehension. The closer your pronunciation is to a native speaker’s, the more familiar and recognizable their speech becomes, making it easier for you to understand what they’re saying.
You can read more about learning the Israeli accent in the About section as well.
I have a high level of speaking but experience difficulties in reading and writing. Can you help?
Absolutely! At UlpaNoya, there’s nothing you can’t work on and improve.
If reading and writing are your focus, we’ll tailor your lessons to take those skills to the next level. Together, we’ll explore texts suited to your needs and interests—stories, articles, books, song lyrics, or anything else you’d like to read. You’re also encouraged to bring texts from your daily life, such as emails, bills, forms, text messages, work or school materials, menus, or recipes. Anything goes!
During our lessons, we’ll read together, make corrections, discuss the content, and use this process to improve your pronunciation, expand your vocabulary, and boost your confidence.
You’ll also receive writing assignments that incorporate new words from our readings, and we’ll review and refine them in the following lesson. This will deepen your language skills and elevate them to the next level.
Reading and writing naturally support and enhance each other, and you’ll find that your speaking skills improve as well, creating a well-rounded progression in your Hebrew journey.
