A Few Words About Me
I live in Tzur Hadassa, a small village near Jerusalem. I have five gorgeous children: Avner, Uri, Yuval, Michael and Anat. I love everything about Israeli art, including literature, plastic art, cinema, etc. I see the Hebrew language as a form of art, with a special depth and logic, which, even if at times seemingly banal, gives the language a level of uniqueness and excitement.
I decided to learn the language to the full, and began teaching in the early 1990s, during the large wave of immigration from the former Soviet Union, when many new arrivals settled in our area. I felt committed to help them integrate into the local society, and the best way was to help them communicate with Israelis around them.
I believe that there are many advantages to online learning – the student does not have to waste time on traveling, and studies within the convenience of his own home – on his computer and in his slippers.
