Description
Most Hebrew courses are taught by native Israelis with a strong knowledge of their own language, but not of yours. We've discovered after years of experience and instruction that this is exactly the barrier that keeps English speakers from really mastering Hebrew pronunciation. It's almost impossible for a non-native English speaker to understand the sounds we use in English and misuse when trying to speak Hebrew. In this Hebrew pronunciation course, we walk you through the most complex sounds of Hebrew and make connections with your native language, English, repeating words back to back with English (American) and Israeli pronunciations. We offer several different techniques so that you can try out a few and see what works for you! You will leave with a solid understanding of not only the sounds (phonetics) of Hebrew, but you'll have the confidence to try out these pronunciations right away! Meet your coach! With a natural ear for accents and a background in academic linguistics, Ruben Adery has built a process to understand, break down, and simplify phonetics and fast-track language acquisition in five languages (English, Hebrew, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian) and counting. He's lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Ashdod, Israel, among other places, immersing himself in the language and culture to achieve holistic native fluency. Locals frequently mistake him for a native, and he can tell you first-hand of the many benefits of precise pronunciation. Ruben has taught and coached language learners, teachers, and performers in 50+ countries for over 15 years, using each student's native linguistic patterns and enjoyable exercises to achieve memorable and fluent pronunciation in target dialects. If anyone can help you master your foreign language pronunciation, it's Ruben. He'll show you the exact process he's developed over time that's allowed him to teach languages and thrive in communities all over the world.
