Hebrew is a language spoken by over 7 million people around the world. It is one of the oldest languages in existence, that has seen its revival in the early 20th century as a precursor to the modern State of Israel. In September, we will be launching a new season of EUlpan – Hebrew Classes in the European Quarter. At the EJCC’s EUlpan, we enable you to learn modern Hebrew. Our approach is teaching Hebrew in Hebrew, the most effective method for teaching this language, by our professional teacher: Shaya Feldman. All lessons will be given at lunch time, to 3 different levels:

1. Beginners: We’ll start from scratch, no previous knowledge needed.

It takes place once a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students register for a cycle of 7 lessons of 90 minutes or 10 lessons of 60 minutes once a week, for a fee of 159 euro per cycle. At the end of the cycle, the students can decide rather they want to continue or not. All classes will take place at lunch time, in the EU district; exact dates and times of the lessons will be decided by the group together. All students must go through a security screening, and will be enrolled only after clearance.
