Are you ready to embark on a Hebrew-learning journey like no other?
Welcome to Hebrew by Inbal, where I bring you a one-of-a-kind approach to learning the Hebrew language.
As a native Israeli living in Europe and the US, I understand the unique challenges faced by English speakers like you.
I've honed my teaching methods to simplify complex subjects and bridge the gap between Hebrew and English.
I take a revolutionary approach to learning Hebrew. Here's what sets me apart:
1. **Unique Methods** I've developed teaching methods and approaches that you won't find anywhere else. My expertise in both English and Hebrew allows me to create a seamless learning experience tailored to the English-speaking mind.
2. **Clear and Conversational** Just like a friend chatting with you face to face, I make sure my lessons are clear, conversational, and relatable. You're not alone on this journey; I've got your back.
3. **Conversational Fluency** If speaking and understanding Hebrew is your priority, look no further. Practically Speaking Hebrew is my transformational course packed with the value of a full academic year (for a fraction of the price) providing you with the practical skills you need to communicate effectively.
4. **Complete Reading and Writing Skills** If your goal is to read and write Hebrew fluently, my best-selling workbooks and textbooks—Hebrew 1, 2, and 3—are your ticket to success. These comprehensive resources will equip you with the skills you need like no other materials can.
5. **Personal Connection** I believe in forming a personal relationship with each of my students. I understand your fears, challenges, and obstacles in learning a new language, and I'm here to help you overcome them. Together, we'll navigate the trenches of language learning.
So, whether you're looking to read and write Hebrew like a pro or engage in meaningful conversations, visit HEBREWBYINBAL.COM today and choose your goal > Grab the resources that suit your needs, and let's embark on this incredible Hebrew-learning journey together.
I can't wait to see you succeed!

look you’re never going to learn levantine arabic because you will never care enough to enlist the help of a native speaker (required to learn an arabic dialect)
i'm literally good friends with my old arabic professor who's offered to tutor me for free (i'm not gonna let him do it for free i gotta find a way i can send him something. he's like very adamant he teaches for the love of teaching but also holy shit this man needs some sort of compensation lmfao). anyway the local islamic center also offers classes (i still need to ask what dialect they teach, if at all). there's a pretty solid muslim population where i am, and i already have a lot of connections because of various things ive done here
i think it's a little silly how wrong this ask is. as if my whole motivation for learning other languages wasn't to form connections with that community. language learning to me isn't a fun little hobby, it's integral to my beliefs as a person. my whole life is about personal connections and conversations with those different than myself to build bridges and forge connections. i wouldn't dream of learning a language in a vacuum, just the thought makes my skin crawl
anyway, not that you care about any of that lmao. i'm sure your extent of interacting with me was seeing some post that made you mad, clicking on my blog to see if i was crazy racist or something, reading my pinned message, and getting mad that i said i want to learn arabic because that didn't fit your imagination of what a jew zionist would do. are we sure i'm the narrow minded one here?
#i've had a lot of people in my life get pissy about my language learning process. the vast majority of those people were racists who thought#that my learning spanish was an invitation for them to start being racist and rant abouy how much they hate latines. there's also been a few#people seeing me practicing hebrew who took ghat as an invitation to ask me about my opinion on palestinians. and then of course the people#who saw me practicing asl and decided to be mad bc i'm not d/Deaf (that ended up being a reason why i stopped learning asl sadly). anyway#anon you're in good conpany#language acquisition#antisemitism#asks#anon hate#العربية

#the following tags will have discussions of my faith and christianity in general so if you're not interested in that then stop reading ig#some lore: in my early teens i did consider doing a theology degree at uni and becoming an ordained minister/taking a role in the church#this was before i found out a) in my denomination only men can be ministers (deaconesses exist but yeah) and b) the church as an institutio#is pretty yikes#and then finding out i'm queer and nonbinary threw other spanners in there but despite it all my faith is still so so important to me#i want to start learning about christian/comparative theology more broadly to understand both my own faith and others' better#idk why but today i randomly ended up on the webpage for the theological college in NI and was just looking through the courses they offer#maybe someday in the distant future i'll have the money and time to burn to do an online postgrad degree with them#but yeah they have a postgrad certificate in biblical greek 👀 which looked v cool#the internet is a wonderful place and i found a pretty comprehensive looking biblical hebrew course on youtube and i'd probs be able to fin#biblical greek somewhere if i looked hard enough#greek and hebrew are both such linguistically interesting languages and being able to read some would also help in my theological adventure#so new side quest just dropped ig? at least it's my reading week this week so I can dabble in them with no consequences#i've also been wanting to try and learn a language via an immersion focus - obvs can't do full immersion with biblical greek and hebrew but#yeah using a less grammar and vocab focused approach than i'm used to#i have access to digital bibles so i could just choose a v literal english translation and then try and parse what's happening?#yeah we'll see#langblr#ellis exclaims

Pardon my lateness, but I was only today years old when I realized that Rosh HaShanah is directly related to the Arabic term for the New Year, "رأس السّنة" ("ra's al-sana", or "ras e'sene" in Lebanese dialect), which literally translates to "the head of the year" (yes, as in the literal head).
#raya reflects#arabic#hebrew#semitic languages#man i love finding root connections between my native tongue and its sister#it's just interesting#obviously i remembered that time my mom (and another lebanese chick) took a hebrew course in cambridge#and utterly annoyed the prof with their constant remarks on similarities between arabic and hebrew#i also knew about how yom kippur = 'يوم كبير' ('yowm kabir') meaning 'big/great day'

people keep posting duolingo 'alternatives' like these apps offer more than like the 5 most popular languages lol. No shit there's plenty resources for French and Korean. The issue is the smaller lamguages because no one is doing those like duolingo!!
#duolingo#that's the whole issue we're losing something that can't be replaced at the moment..#and by smaller i dont even mean minority languages.#there's zero free access Hebrew courses that don't suck major ass#it's been duo + supplementary shit i have to dig deep for#langblr#anyway.

i told a guy i study ancient greek as a minor and he went "oh, fun fact, did you know that the original language of the bible is greek? all of it was written in greek originally." it's always these encounters that make me want to delete dating apps and never the sexual harassment
#first officer's log#i can stomach harassment but i draw the line at arrogance apparently#did i know.... i suggested there was hebrew also and he looked at me blankly... bro is dropping out of his theology course#after posting I'm like yeah that's petty#but after i told him what i study he didn't ask any questions he just told me a basic and incorrect fact 😭#and also explained fascism to me..

AAAAAHHHH MY PEOPLE ARE HERE (well one of them anyway)
Beni (B’nai) in Hebrew means “son of” or “children of” so this must be a specific subgroup of Jewish people. Jewish liturgy often refers to Jews as “B’Nai Yisrael” for example.
#Well he is Sephardi and I’m Ashki but we’re all mishpacha#I want to hear all the archaic Hebrew please tell me about the archaic Hebrew#aubreyad#the hundred days#i am so happy there is a positive character here who happens to be Jewish#And he speaks Hebrew#of COURSE he is a doctor#אני אהובת את זה

Do you know why some converts are named bat Avraham Avinu ve Sarah Imenu instead of just bat Avraham ve Sarah? Cause I kind of like the first one better as it clearly signifies which Avraham and Sarah I am a child of. I also wanted to know if you know of any converts with multiple first names? Cause I like the idea of getting all of my three first names translated to Hebrew/finding Hebrew names similar in meaning or sound to them. But if I do that all I’ll have a pretty long name and I’m scared people might not like it/judge it. I know I should probably talk to a rabbi about it but I’m still somewhat early in my conversion and i feel embarrassed going to him about names already
From what I've found, that (imenu) is used to mean "our mother," though I am obviously not entirely familiar with this yet, honestly.
As for your names, it's probably very early to consider seriously in the sense that as you "mature" in your understanding of judaism, you may find yourself gravitated toward many other names for reasons stemming from a richer understanding of judaism and how you fit with it. I haven't heard of a person choosing multiple names, but honestly, I can imagine that somebody may choose to have more than one, even if it's uncommon. When it comes to your hebrew name, certainly think of where it will be used upon after your official conversion - to be called upon to read torah, marriage if you choose, and children if you choose, just to name a few. This isn't me trying to pressure you one way or another at all - this will be your name, after all. I hope, when the time is right for you, that you find something that suits you and your journey.
#ask#anon#jumblr#jewish conversion#jew by choice#and absolutely run it by your rabbi when you feel it's right or if in the future it seems closer to official conversion#of course this assumes that you complete conversion - i don't want to come across like i assume what will be best for you#i have heard a convert who converted once and chose a hebrew name then converted orthodox and changed it because she hated that name#so it's like... it can be really important to choose something that you feel best about which is why i want to be sensitive about it#and of course if i'm wrong about anything here i can always stand to be corrected - i am not an expert i am not a rabbi#and i have not had the experience of actually and officially choosing a hebrew name#i'm sure some of this is stuff you might know but i want to cover the bases

parred down $300 of textbooks to the barest minimum of $143 (or possibly more because B&N makes you agree to buy new books if they don't actually have the used books they advertised. Why can't they have an option to email you and let you make a new decision based on the price of the book? Or have a button to choose not to buy the more expensive new book? I know why).
Anyway, I've purchased the books. Cancel the pillory. You may dispose of your rotten vegetables elsewhere.
#a sock speaks#grad school tag#I already had 3 of the books for my Hebrew class#2 classes didn't require textbooks#and I didn't get books for 1 class because they're on 3-hour course reserves at the library. that's going to be a pain but I will do it.#why did the acts class require 4 expensive textbooks that the library doesn't have? they do look fun though#am I not going into student debt for this very reason? for the fun of it?
