Clases privadas de hebreo

In this private, one-on-one class, children will learn the foundations of the Hebrew language by listening to simple phrases, songs, stories and basic conversation as well as drawing while learning Hebrew vocabulary.  
Children will:
-learn to sing the aleph, bet, vet in Hebrew (Hebrew alphabet song) along with other Hebrew songs;
-hear simple stories in Hebrew (ie. nursery rhymes, finger play songs);
-learn conversational words and phrases (ie. what is your name, how are you...);
-play games (charades and Shimon Omer (Simon Says);
-draw pictures and learn the words in Hebrew as we draw;
-and try repeating and practicing the Hebrew words.

These lessons are about listening to another language and giving the sounds a go by trying new words (if your child is comfortable to share, I know this can be a bit scary).   Young children learn from experiencing new things and language can be experienced through the sounds.  The class begins with our welcome song, then the children will listen to some new spoken words told in a variety of different ways.  We say simple phrases by repeating what they hear.  They may play some games or hear stories or sing simple songs. 
Children are always encouraged to contribute so they do not need to put themselves on mute.  At the end of the class we sing our farewell song.  

Worksheets are uploaded after the class with words we have learnt that week so the children may continue to say the words at home.  Some children like to draw flashcards with the words, make more drawings practicing the words or singing the songs learned in class.  The more the children practice, the more comfortable they will be with the new language.  

This is an interactive class where children are asked to join in and give the words a try as they immerse themselves in a new language.  We will focus on simple conversational phrases and the spoken language.  I could tell nursery rhymes and stories in Hebrew, without showing text, so the children can listen to the words.  Pictures might be shown during some story telling.  I will also use simple finger play with Hebrew words to engage children in activities they may already be familiar with. 

Drawing is used in class as a way to use the vocabulary we are working on in a practical and hands on way in the moment.  Having paper and colored pens or pencils at class every week would be helpful but you can watch the video again after if it is not accessible at class time.

Each week we will focus on different vocabulary as well as have a review.  As these are private classes, the lessons could be tailored to your child's interests (such as animals, travel, colors, etc.).
