Hebrew: student comments
"My professor is very devoted and truly cares about her students. She let us spend some class time talking about issues around campus or the world that were bothering us, and was incredibly understanding. The content was not stressful but facilitated learning."
"What an incredible survey. I went from knowing absolutely no Hebrew to being able to do short responses, conduct practical conversations, follow along with the prayer book, and much more in Hebrew–– all within the short span of a few months."
"Best class ever! I could not imagine my NU experience without my Hebrew class. All I can say is TAKE THIS CLASS! "
"I've learned so much since I first came to Hebrew–– in fact, when I was at the cafe earlier today, I found myself unintentionally thinking and speaking in Hebrew. It was one of the highlights of my day."
"I have grown markedly more confident in my capacity to speak Hebrew, my pronunciation has improved significantly, and I feel much more comfortable participating in class. I also feel like I am seeing visible progress in the complexity of my language acquisition, and I have grown really close with everyone in the class. The projects are not only really fun, but they force you to think creatively with the components you've acquired, and the success, as mentioned earlier, is tangible."
"BEST CLASS EVER! If you are even debating taking Hebrew, DO IT! This class is INCREDIBLE and have made me decide to pursue a Jewish Studies major! I learn so much in the class and always look forward to going –– even at 9:30 AM."
"Compared to my friends in other languages, I have learned much more and have way more fun while easily earning an A!"
"This course continues to make me better at Hebrew every single time that I step into the classroom. The professor is understanding, caring, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure that you understand all of the course material. The material is diverse and covers a wide range of Hebrew and Israeli culture."
"I enjoyed this course, it was very discussion based and there were a lot of opportunities to practice the language with your fellow students so the class felt more like a natural learning of the language than a series of assignments to complete."
"Absolutely loved this class! One of my favorite classes I have taken at Northwestern. The professor always wants to see you succeed and is very accommodating for any issues that may arise. As somebody who knew the alphabet but not the vocabulary, now I can hold a basic conversation with people! I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in Hebrew."
