DC Internationals

DC Internationals is proud to offer Hebrew I- Beginner- a ten week intensive non-credit course is designed to teach beginning Hebrew through immersion, fun and humor.

Times and location

Hebrew I- Beginner— Meets once per week on Monday from 6:00-7:30 PM

First day of Class: June 7, 2010

Location: 1920 G Street, NW, Washington DC.

No previous foreign language experience is required. By the end of the semester, you can expect to have basic reading, writing, and speaking skills.

Academic Goals

This course teaches the alphabet within two classes. Students will need to practice writing the Hebrew letters within the textbook which students may purchase through DC Internationals tax free. Students will be discouraged to write Hebrew phonetically in any language besides Hebrew. Learning the alphabet immediately is essential to keeping up with the course and learning the language. Writing phonetically will indubitably lead towards innumerable mistakes, issues, and frustration.

By week three we will learn how to write basic vocabulary and the pronouns, to quickly facilitate basic conversation. In the same lesson, we will learn the possessive pronouns and the difference between masculine and feminine nouns. These skills will enable students to speak and write “non-verbal” sentences.

Students will learn the verb “to have” around week 4-5. We will learn the present tense that week. The class will take a Mid-Term around week six or seven, depending upon our progress.

The week after the Mid-Term we will learn the past tense. While augmenting our lexicon all the while, we will be able to read, write and speak basic sentences in both the present and past tenses. Handouts will facilitate all of the above mentioned. We will have a Final on the last class.

Hebrew II- Beginner/ Intermediate

Adjunct Professor of Hebrew: Ross Kaplan

DC Internationals is proud to offer Hebrew II- Beginner/Intermediate- a ten week intensive non-credit course is designed to teach intermediate Hebrew through immersion, fun and humor.

Times and location

Hebrew II- Beginner/ Intermediate— Meets once per week on Monday from 7:30-9:00 PM

First day of Class: June 7, 2010

Location: 1920 G Street, NW, Washington DC.

Academic Goals

Beginner/Intermediate Hebrew II is the continuation of Beginner Hebrew I. The class builds upon the basic skills studied during the previous semester by focusing more on verb conjugations, prepositions, adjectives, and direct and indirect object pronouns and the future tense. Upon completion of Hebrew II, students should be able to engage in more sophisticated conversations on a range of everyday topics. The students should also expect to advance their reading and writing skills. This class is available to individuals who have a basic knowledge of Hebrew and are familiar with its alphabet, basic grammar and sentence structure.

In addition to the material covered in the lessons, which will be passed out at each class meeting, there will be classroom conversation. The students will be expected to purchase the course materials.

The class will take a Mid-Term at week 6-7, depending upon the material covered thus-far. The week after the Mid-Term we will learn the past tense. While augmenting our lexicon all the while, we will be able to read, write and speak basic sentences in both the present and past tenses. Handouts will facilitate all of the above mentioned. We will have a Final on the last class.
