FAQ

Our Unique Methodology

What makes the BERESHIT learning method different from a traditional Ulpan?

We focus on Structural Mastery rather than rote memorization. Our unique curriculum emphasizes the Binyanim (verb roots and patterns) and core grammar, giving you the system to understand how the language works, not just what words to say. This intensive approach is designed for accuracy, rapid comprehension, and long-term retention.

What is 'Structural Mastery'?

Structural Mastery is our core philosophy. It means we equip you with the foundational rules of Hebrew (the grammar "operating system"). Once you master the Binyanim, you can correctly predict and form thousands of new words, allowing you to confidently transition to advanced reading and professional discourse.

Do you teach only spoken or also formal/media Hebrew?

Both. Our Learning Pathways start with essential conversational fluency, but we quickly introduce the language of the media, business, and official texts. Our goal is to bridge the gap between street slang and the Hebrew of the Headlines.

Our Team and Background

What is the background of the BERESHIT instructors?

Our team consists of highly experienced Hebrew as a Second Language (H.S.L.) educators. Many, including our founder, Mor, have specialized training from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in high-intensity, results-oriented language acquisition (e.g., Machve Alon base and Israeli Navy Ulpanim).

Why is the founder's IDF background relevant to my learning?

The curriculum was forged in demanding military environments that required new immigrants to achieve high-level fluency quickly and accurately. This rigorous, proven, and systematic approach ensures that you receive the most efficient and effective instruction available.

Logistics and Enrollment

Are the classes online? Can I join from anywhere in the world?

Yes. All our classes (private and group) are conducted live online, making high-quality instruction accessible regardless of your time zone or geographical location.

How do I know which Learning Pathway or level is right for me?

It’s easy! We offer a FREE, simple placement assessment for all new students. This ensures we can immediately place you in the exact pathway that matches your current Hebrew knowledge. By starting at the perfect level, we maximize your progress and ensure you start building towards mastery from day one.

What is the difference between Private and Group Learning Pathways?

Private sessions offer 100% customized pacing and content, ideal for specific goals (like Hebrew for business). Group sessions offer a collaborative environment and are often better suited for general fluency and conversation practice. Both utilize the same high-standard BERESHIT curriculum.

Pricing & Policies

How does the pricing for the Learning Pathways work?

Our pricing is structured based on the type of pathway (Group vs. Private) and the duration of your commitment (e.g., packages of 10 or 20 sessions). You can find detailed pricing and package options on our Programs Page.

What is your cancellation/rescheduling policy for private lessons?

We understand that life happens. Private sessions must be canceled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice via our scheduling platform to avoid being charged for the session. This policy ensures fairness to our dedicated instructors.

What is the refund policy if I decide the pathway is not for me?

We are confident in the effectiveness of our method. However, if you are not satisfied, please contact us within 7 days of purchasing a package. We offer a refund for any unused sessions, subject to a small administrative fee (detailed in our Terms and Conditions).

Do you offer corporate training or tailored programs for organizations

Yes. We frequently design specialized Hebrew for Business and cultural immersion programs for organizations and non-profits worldwide. Please contact us HERE to discuss a customized pathway for your team.
