Interesting facts about the Hebrew Program that you might not know of

by

Did you know that when you learn Modern Hebrew

  • you can read ancient texts written in their original language.
  • you can listen to hit TV shows and Israeli movies, appreciating the undertones and special humor.
  • your curriculum will include meeting celebrities, discussing their works over lunches, participating in an Israeli film festival and making valuable personal connections.
  • you will earn a full three credits for the year.
  • you can choose whether you use the Humanities or Social Sciences general education designations.

If those facts sound interesting, please consider joining Hebrew courses in the spring semester. There are available spots in the Intermediate and Advanced levels. Please email the instructor Dalit Katz at dkatz01@wesleyan.edu for more information. I hope to see you soon in one of my classes.
