Learning Hebrew can be both rewarding and frustrating so choosing a learning method that offers you the simplest form of understanding is without doubt the way to go. Spending a little time researching courses and classes is beneficial as it will help you decided which is the right option for you. How far you want to take your studies is entirely up to you and what level you strive to achieve can be reached either as a hobby or something taken a little more serious.

As with anything you choose to indulge in and learn, you want it to be an enjoyable experience. Learning Hebrew doesn’t have to be a task and can in fact be made quite simple.
