Semester courses in the Modern Hebrew language are available to you as an international graduate student who is participating in a study abroad or degree program at Hebrew University. You may also apply for semester courses as an external student. Each course is 14 weeks long, and classes meet for 10 weekly hours (except for Level Vav, which meets for 8 weekly hours). Instruction is available at all six levels, and you will complete a full level of Hebrew by the end of the semester (unless you are an absolute beginner).
