I've spoken with hundreds of learners over the past few years, and over 80% start learning Hebrew with Duolingo. Every single person reports that despite months of effort, they are unable to form even a basic Hebrew sentence! Sound familiar?
I understand the appeal—Duolingo is accessible, budget-friendly, and feels like a game. But let's talk about the real cost when you expect these apps to teach you Hebrew: You're investing your most precious resources! Your time, motivation, and hope in a learning tool that - in all my discussions -
Not one student has said, “Thanks to Duolingo, I'm now speaking Hebrew”, or “I understand Hebrew because of Duolingo”. Not a single person, and I've talked to so many...
In Israel, we have a saying: זול זה יקר ("the cheap is expensive"). It warns that the seemingly cheapest and easiest options might ultimately cost you more in the long run or fail to deliver the needed results.
It pains me to see so many of you fall into this trap, investing time and effort with little to show for it.
And the worst part? Too many of you get out of this Duolingo experience thinking you don’t have what it takes to speak and understand Hebrew - which is the farthest from the truth.
As a Hebrew educator who has dedicated months creating a unique Hebrew program that actually gets you speaking and understanding Hebrew, it's disheartening to hear these stories.
Don’t settle for less—invest in a program that delivers real results. That has a teacher to support you. That respects your time and effort.
