What learners are saying
“The perfect level for intermediate learners”
“Omer’s podcasts are fascinating, informative, and ideally pitched – neither dumbed down nor frustratingly advanced. As a member, I participate in bi-weekly Zoom sessions with others from around the world, who have come to feel like friends in our shared goal to speak Hebrew.“

“Feels like having coffee in Tel Aviv”
“Omer’s podcasts have been first-rate from the beginning, and they keep getting better! When I listen to his interviews with Israelis, I feel like I am having coffee with the two of them at a cafe in Tel Aviv. When I listen to his backgrounders on aspects of life in Israel, I feel my understanding of Israel deepening along with my Hebrew comprehension. And when I join his bi-weekly meetings with subscribers, I feel like I’m Zooming with kindred spirits and a gifted Hebrew teacher who is passionate about helping each of us.”
