Danny — Hebrew From Zero founder
ברוך הבא Your very first word ✦

Hebrew From Zero is mine, start to finish. I built the method, I hand-pick every teacher, and I'm in it every day — so however you learn with us, you're learning the way I wish someone had taught me back then.

Danny, founder

A school built around how English speakers actually learn Hebrew.

Hebrew From Zero was founded by Danny — a native Israeli who grew up in the UK speaking English. He came back to Israel as a kid, dropped into a 3rd-grade classroom without a word of Hebrew, and spent years clawing his way from lost to fluent. The moment he cracked it, he started teaching other English speakers — at just 16. As demand outgrew what one person could do, he built Hebrew From Zero into a school: the same method, the same standard, now with a small handpicked team.

Every student gets a private portal, structured lessons built on the Hebrew From Zero method, and a clear path from complete beginner to confident speaker. No pressure, no stress — just real progress.

  • Lessons tailored to your goal, pace, and interests
  • Native in both Hebrew and English — the rare combo that makes it click
  • Flexible scheduling to suit your timezone
  • Supportive and judgment-free environment
  • Materials and resources always included
  • A step-by-step method that gets you speaking real Hebrew

Things students often ask.

If your question isn't here, just reach out — I'm always happy to chat before you commit to anything.

How long until I can actually speak Hebrew?

Most beginners can hold a basic conversation — introducing themselves, ordering food, asking simple questions — within 2-3 months of weekly lessons. Real fluency takes longer, but you'll feel real progress fast because we focus on practical, modern Hebrew you'll actually use.

I'm a complete beginner. Is that really okay?

It's more than okay — it's exactly who I work with most. The "from zero" in the name is literal. We start with the alphabet, sounds, and the most useful phrases. No prior knowledge, no pressure.

What if I'm already intermediate and just want to speak more?

You're welcome too — plenty of my students already read and write but want to actually speak confidently. We'll skip the basics, focus on real conversation, and bridge the gap between "I understand Hebrew" and "I speak Hebrew."

Is online learning really as good as in-person?

In my experience, yes — and often better. We use Zoom or Google Meet, share materials in real time, and you can review recordings. You also get the flexibility of learning from home, no commute, and we can fit your timezone.

Do you offer group classes?

Yes — I run conversational group sessions on Sunday evenings for intermediate speakers who want to practice in a relaxed setting. It's a low-pressure way to use what you know, hear different voices, and pick up natural Hebrew alongside other learners. Reach out for the current schedule and pricing.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Life happens. As long as you give reasonable notice (24 hours when possible), we can reschedule with no issue. I want this to fit your life, not stress you out.

Do I need to learn the Hebrew alphabet first?

No — we'll do it together. I use transliteration (Hebrew written with English letters) at the start so you can speak right away, and we layer in the alphabet gradually so it doesn't feel overwhelming.

What kind of Hebrew will I learn — biblical or modern?

Modern, conversational Hebrew — the kind you'd actually hear on the streets of Tel Aviv or in everyday Israeli life. Not biblical, not academic. Real Hebrew, used by real people today.

How does the free intro call work?

It's a 10-minute Zoom or Google Meet call — completely free, no card required. We'll talk about your goals, I'll get a sense of where you're starting from, and you'll see if my teaching style fits you. Zero pressure to book lessons after.
