Hebrew №1: Learn from Zero

L.Goldberg

About this app

Hebrew №1 is a Hebrew course for beginners built on the ulpan method — the step-by-step way Israel teaches Hebrew to new arrivals. Learn Hebrew from zero, whether you are planning aliyah, moving to Israel, or already live here and want to speak modern Hebrew with confidence.

Just like a good ulpan, everything comes in order: first the Hebrew alphabet and reading, then everyday words and phrases, real-life dialogues, grammar in plain language — and understanding spoken Hebrew. Lessons are short: 5–10 minutes a day is enough to keep moving.

Hebrew alphabet and reading
• All 27 letters of the alef-bet: print and handwritten forms, final letters
• Vowels (nikud) — which marks sound the same, and how to read without them
• Audio for every letter, syllable, and word
• Read real words from the very first lesson instead of memorizing a chart

Hebrew vocabulary for life in Israel
• Useful words and ready-made phrases: shopping, bank, doctor, work, neighbors
• Transliteration and translation for every word
• Spaced review: each word comes back on the right day until it sticks
• Days of the week in Hebrew right on the home screen

Learn to speak Hebrew and understand it by ear
• 100+ dialogues from real situations: health fund, National Insurance, renting, bank, shopping
• Audio for every line, with an optional slower speed
• Masculine or feminine forms in dialogues — just like real Hebrew

Hebrew grammar in plain language
• 51 topics: Hebrew verbs and tenses, binyanim, pronouns, prepositions, numbers
• Short tables, typical mistakes, and real-life examples
• Practice after every topic

Calm, steady progress
• 250 lessons, from the first letter to confident conversation
• Knowledge checks after each lesson and a summary for every word
• Streaks and gentle reminders: no more than two a day, quiet on Shabbat
• Alef, a friendly companion, guides and encourages you

Learn Hebrew offline, with no ads
Every lesson, word, dialogue, and audio clip works without internet — study on the bus, in a queue, or in the park. Your progress stays on your device.

Hebrew №1 is a great fit if you:
• are a beginner learning Hebrew (Ivrit) from zero;
• are preparing for aliyah or a move to Israel;
• attend an ulpan and want to review and practice at home;
• know a few words but are afraid to talk;
• want to understand everyday speech, signs, and letters.

Learning Hebrew is small steps every day. The interface is available in English, Russian, French, Spanish, and German.
