"I am enjoying learning Hebrew as it is spoken today. I find the workbook very helpful. However, hearing the language is still a challenge for me. I understand the written lessons but still struggle understanding the oral questions. But I am motivated and will do my best every lesson. Rivka Fershtman is doing a great job."
"Orna and Rivka are the best teachers ever! Its hard to learn Hebrew but the teachers make it fun. The activities consolidate the learning. I know the whole alphabet and am getting my head around the vocabulary and verb constructions."
"A los 79 años de edad, sigo aprendiendo "
Rebecca Fershtman
