10代のためのヘブライ語入門

This ongoing beginning Hebrew class is designed for teenagers who would like to begin to learn Hebrew through easy conversational phrases while learning how to read and write through the Hebrew alphabet, and learn to count in Hebrew.  I will use both block and cursive writing (and vowels) to introduce the learners to the different styles of texts in Hebrew.  You will learn the styles of the block letters and some interesting history around the creation and design of the letters and what they mean.  You will also learn some traditional Hebrew songs such as Oseh Shalom, Hineh Ma Tov and Yerushalim Shel Zahav.  

Students will engage with the sounds of the Hebrew language by engaging in simple conversation with peers in the class.  In this class, we will focus on simple conversational phrases and the spoken language as well as reading and writing and you will learn to conjugate pronouns and verbs.

Classes will also include drawing as a way to practice new vocabulary.  It would be helpful if students have notebooks, pens, pencils and colored pencils every week for notes and drawings.
