How to use this page

Play lesson plays a lesson's words one after another, and Read subject (in the bar at the top of each subject) reads the whole subject aloud — the explanations in English or Russian, the Hebrew words with their recordings (press it again to stop; Continue picks up where you stopped; click any line to bookmark it, then From bookmark starts there; 🔖✕ clears the bookmark); the speed slider slows them down.
  • Some subjects have a 📋 From my grammar sheet panel (tap to open) with tables and exercises.
  • On the 🧩 Practice tab every subject has a 📖 Story: a short story with the words learned so far, with recordings, translations and three questions.
  • Signed in, 🔁 Daily review picks today's words from your own answers — the ones you missed first.
  • Language switches the explanations between English and Russian.
  • New to the letters? Start with Alphabet, at the top of the list, with letter and vowel exercises.
  • Pick a subject in the list on the left (or with Subjects on a phone). The buttons at the top of each subject go to the previous and next subject.
  • The 🧩 Practice tab has the exercises of the subject chosen in the list: its grammar sheet's exercises, and short sentences with its words, a Listening quiz (hear a sentence, pick what it means) and 🎤 Speaking (say the sentence; the page checks what it heard).
  • Turn on Niqqud to see the vowel marks, and Shoresh to see each word's root letters in violet (כתבתי: כתבתי). Search looks through all subjects, in English or Hebrew.
  • If a word sounds wrong, right-click it (or press and hold) to record it in your own voice or correct its vowel marks.
