Ivrio The spoken-Hebrew tutor

Speak the Hebrew people actually speak in Israel.

A spoken-Hebrew tutor that listens, corrects you gently and remembers every mistake, with short grammar explanations in English.

At the shuk, a Tuesday morning

You אני צריכה שתי קילו עגבניות, בבקשה. ani tzricha shtey kilo agvaniyot, bevakasha.

Tutor כמעט! אומרים: שני קילו עגבניות. kim'at! omrim: shney kilo agvaniyot. "Kilo" is masculine in Hebrew, so "two" is shney, not shtey.

01The voice

One Israeli voice, and always the same one.

Sounds like Tel Aviv, not like a robot. Tutor voices will be chosen in blind listening tests.

Each tutor keeps one fixed voice from the first word to the last, so the accent doesn't drift halfway through a sentence.

02The memory

It remembers every mistake.

Each correction becomes a review card. The mistake comes back in your reviews, then in a later conversation, until you've got it.

Here is how that will work, with the sentence from the shuk.

  1. Tuesday, at the shuk אני צריכה שתי קילו עגבניות, בבקשה. The tutor corrects it: "kilo" is masculine.
  2. Thursday, in review שני קילו The card comes back, with the right form.
  3. Sunday, another conversation אני צריכה שני קילו עגבניות, בבקשה. You say it right, without thinking about it.

03The path

A real Hebrew course, not a chatbot.

No prompts to write. Tap and talk; the tutor leads.

AI is used for the conversation only. The course itself is set in advance.

  1. A placement test

    A few spoken minutes to find where to start.

  2. The alef-bet, if you need it

    "Read Hebrew in 7 days": letters, final forms and vowel marks. Free.

  3. Units, all the way to conversation

    Each one has a concrete goal, vocabulary matched to your level and a guided conversation.

  4. The "why?" in English

    A short explanation in plain English whenever you're corrected.

04Real life

The conversations that matter, rehearsed before the day.
