The Hebrew course is designed for those who want to immerse themselves in an intensive language acquisition experience that is personally enriching as well as academically demanding. Instruction is offered on all levels from beginning to advanced. Classes are held Sunday - Thursday during the morning hours. In addition to learning through textbooks, classes may also include video sessions, student presentations, and visits to sites on campus such as the Hecht Museum. In addition, students may have the opportunity to listen to guest lecturers. While the more advanced classes will listen to the lectures and participate in discussions, the beginners’ classes will prepare questions for their guests and hold their own interviews in simple Hebrew.
