The ulpan method is a fun, lively, time-tested method that gets newcomers comfortable and able to speak, read, and write as quickly as possible.

Shalom! At Ha-Ulpan you’ll learn modern conversational Hebrew in a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere using the ulpan method developed during the founding of modern Israel.

Our certified instructors are native Hebrew speakers, highly experienced with helping adult learners break through barriers. We use Israeli teaching materials, including books and audiovisual aids carefully selected for American students. Ulpan students are totally immersed in an interactive Hebrew-speaking environment in small classes.

Our school welcomes all types of learners to an environment where you’ll feel comfortable regardless of your religious or cultural background. We’re not affiliated with any synagogue or religious or political movement. Our students come from diverse backgrounds and have many different reasons for wanting to learn Hebrew. Our gifted teachers skillfully consider your individual needs and differing learning styles and adjust classroom activities dynamically and organically.

I loved this class!! You made it so fun to learn and eliminated any self-conscious feelings. I love how as we learn to read, write, and speak, we were also having conversations about Israeli culture. The class was very diverse and we all were respected and had a good time!

Working with Ha-Ulpan has been a wonderful experience for me. I had very little knowledge of the language and culture of Israel and after just one semester I have learned and retained an incredible amount of information.

Your ulpan has made such a difference when I go to Israel. I can participate in conversations with the family members who speak only Hebrew, understand the tours in Hebrew, and play Bananagrams in Hebrew with my cousins (and even win!).
