Danny, Hebrew From Zero founder
ברוך הבא Your very first word ✦

Hebrew From Zero is mine, start to finish. I built the method, I hand-pick every teacher, and I'm in it every day, so however you learn with us, you're learning the way I wish someone had taught me back then.

Danny, founder

A school built around how English speakers actually learn Hebrew.

Hebrew From Zero was founded by Danny, a native Israeli who grew up in the UK speaking English. He came back to Israel as a kid, dropped into a 3rd-grade classroom without a word of Hebrew, and spent years clawing his way from lost to fluent. The moment he cracked it, he started teaching other English speakers, at just 16. As demand outgrew what one person could do, he built Hebrew From Zero into a school: the same method, the same standard, now with a small handpicked team.

Every student gets a private portal, structured lessons built on the Hebrew From Zero method, and a clear path from complete beginner to confident speaker. No pressure, no stress, just real progress.

  • Lessons tailored to your goal, pace, and interests
  • Native in both Hebrew and English, the rare combo that makes it click
  • Flexible scheduling to suit your timezone
  • Supportive and judgment-free environment
  • Materials and resources always included
  • A step-by-step method that gets you speaking real Hebrew

A method built around you, not a fixed course.

Starting from zero, or already speak and want to sharpen up? Every lesson is built around your level, your goals, and how you actually learn, so you never pay to relearn what you already know.

Your own Hebrew notebook

We build you a personal notebook with your lessons, vocab, and notes in one place, shaped around exactly what you're working on. It grows with you, lesson by lesson.

Real reading with Hebrew Journey

Guided reading through our Hebrew Journey tool, from your first letters to full articles and stories, always pitched at your level. Beginners build it; intermediates sharpen it.

Grammar that finally clicks

The grammar backbone, explained the way English speakers actually get it. Clear and practical, with no jargon dumps. We use it to fix the exact gaps holding you back.

Speak from day one

Conversation-first lessons, plus flashcards and a sentence builder in your portal for between sessions, so real, modern Hebrew actually sticks.

Beginner or brushing up, we start where you are: one-on-one, with a plan that flexes to fit. No rigid syllabus, no lessons wasted on what you already know.

Who you'll be learning with.

Experienced Hebrew teachers who work with English and French speakers every day. Tap a face to read their story.

Wherever you're starting from, there's a path.

Most of our students come to Hebrew for one of these reasons. Sound like you?

Moving to Israel

Planning Aliyah or a big move? Build the everyday Hebrew you'll actually use, from errands and bureaucracy to small talk, before you land.

Already in Israel

Made the move but Hebrew still feels like a wall? Build the fluency to navigate daily life, work, and real conversations, all at your own pace.

Faith & study

Want to read, pray, or study with real understanding? We bridge the gap between the text and the living language behind it.

Family & heritage

Connecting with a partner's family, your roots, or your kids' school? Learn the Hebrew that brings you closer to the people who matter.

Just love the language

No deadline, no obligation, just curiosity. Learn at your own pace with lessons built around what you find interesting.

Kids & families

Want your kids to grow up with Hebrew? We work with children and families, making language feel like play, not a chore.

Simple pricing, lessons built around you.

Every student is different, so your lessons are shaped by your goals and schedule. We'll find the right fit in your trial lesson.

Things students often ask.

If your question isn't here, just reach out. I'm always happy to chat before you commit to anything.

How long until I can actually speak Hebrew?

Most beginners can hold a basic conversation (introducing themselves, ordering food, asking simple questions) within 2-3 months of weekly lessons. Real fluency takes longer, but you'll feel real progress fast because we focus on practical, modern Hebrew you'll actually use. Here's the full timeline, month by month.

I'm a complete beginner. Is that really okay?

It's more than okay. It's exactly who I work with most. The "from zero" in the name is literal. We start with the alphabet, sounds, and the most useful phrases. No prior knowledge, no pressure.

What if I'm already intermediate and just want to speak more?

You're welcome too. Plenty of my students already read and write but want to actually speak confidently. We'll skip the basics, focus on real conversation, and bridge the gap between "I understand Hebrew" and "I speak Hebrew."

Is online learning really as good as in-person?

In my experience, yes, and often better. We use Zoom or Google Meet, share materials in real time, and you can review recordings. You also get the flexibility of learning from home, no commute, and we can fit your timezone.

Do you offer group classes?

Yes. I run conversational group sessions on Sunday evenings for intermediate speakers who want to practice in a relaxed setting. It's a low-pressure way to use what you know, hear different voices, and pick up natural Hebrew alongside other learners. Reach out for the current schedule and pricing.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Life happens. As long as you give reasonable notice (24 hours when possible), we can reschedule with no issue. I want this to fit your life, not stress you out.

Do I need to learn the Hebrew alphabet first?

No, we'll do it together. I use transliteration (Hebrew written with English letters) at the start so you can speak right away, and we layer in the alphabet gradually so it doesn't feel overwhelming.

What kind of Hebrew will I learn, biblical or modern?

Modern, conversational Hebrew, the kind you'd actually hear on the streets of Tel Aviv or in everyday Israeli life. Not biblical, not academic. Real Hebrew, used by real people today.

How does the trial lesson work?

It's one full 50-minute lesson, one to one, for $55. We match you with a teacher, they work out where you're really at and what you need, and you finish knowing where you'd start. You book it here, then get a login to pick a time that suits you. No subscription, and nothing to cancel.

One lesson tells you everything.

This isn't a sales call. It's a real 50-minute lesson with a real teacher, who works out where your Hebrew actually is and what it needs next.

A proper level check

Where you actually are, not where a quiz says you are. Complete beginners welcome.

The gaps that matter

What's really holding your Hebrew back, and which one to fix first.

A plan you can follow

What your next lessons would cover, and how quickly you'd move.

A teacher who fits you

We pair you before the lesson, based on your goals and your schedule.
