“My three lessons with Shira made a huge difference in how I felt about speaking. My question: Are the slang words I learned also appropriate for someone my age? Thank you all for being available on such a short notice!!! All the best! Gaby”
“Customer Service: deeply kind & supportive staff
Teachers: strong methodology; after my first lessons, sometimes a bit less material covered than optimal
Comprehension: good vocab & dialogues; some content more helpful than other (i.e. maybe content could be a bit leaner because some seems a bit redundant)
Conversing: most valuable part of the course by far; teachers are superb with this
Reading/Writing: good, flexible writing assignments; teachers very good at helping me improve my reading
Confidence: great approach; staff adjusted to my pace of learning; a very positive learning experience”
“My instructors were very patient, professional, and skilled in the teaching process. They pushed me to get out of my comfort zone without being pushy or making me feel guilty when I failed. Very friendly, and invested in my growth and development and not simply "clocking in" for a paycheck once a week.”
“The course was excellent. The first 2 weeks I was there everyday and found it a bit too intensive. I enjoyed the 3 days more. I was trying to think of a better way to organize the flash cards for review- I had 5 very full bags. I especially enjoyed the touring component both from increasing my vocabulary and also the chance to speak more and see and learn about the area. I still feel I need work on my grammer but overall an amazing experience. The teachers are really fantastic, so friendly and supportive. I also really enjoyed the graduation on Thursdays and the opportunity to meet other students”
“I achieved fully what I came for: trying out my spoken Hebrew for the first time. Also very impressed with the structure of the course: classroom activity + walkabouts with teacher. There was never a dull moment. Toda raba Ulpan Or!”
“The 8 wks I spend here flew by in no time, and yet I'm leaving with so much more real knowledge, confidence and skills when it comes to learning a new language. Every single lesson I had with Dor has effectively contributed to my process of understanding and absorbing Hebrew through a wide variety of meaningful ways. Dor has been amazing in finding means to guide me through the different subjects with assurance, humor and targeted practices. It was a real pleasure coming in each time and being encouraged to actively apply all things new. Each and everyone of you make this Ulpan truly outstanding.”
“Me experience was great, not just my teacher but everyone in the office was extremely helpful and kind. The atmosphere was very positive and very fun and I couldn't have asked for more from Ganeet (my teacher)”
“This time at the Ulpan I felt like I was clearly making progress in actually being able to use Hebrew while being in Israel; as someone who isn't naturally gifted in languages I really appreciate the feeling of progress.”
“I really appreciated the positive feedback and how positive all of the teachers were during the course. I am always nervous to speak and I felt much more confident speaking here.”
“I had such a great experience and I am very thankful for it! I learned much more than i expected and besides learning a lot i also had a lot of fun! Thank you for everything! :)”
