So many people want to learn Hebrew. They either want to learn it to be able to participate in Synagogue services, convert to Judaism, or have a Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Or they may just be interested in Hebrew as a language. However, many people in today’s world are time-poor and want to know how long does it take to achieve this.

How long is a piece of string?

To answer the question, “how long does it take to learn Hebrew”? is the same as asking “how long is a piece of string”? As with measuring the length of a random piece of string, so too with learning a language, there is no definitive answer as to how long it will take to learn. I get asked many times, how long will it take me to complete the Easy Learn Program online? It all depends!

Focus on why you want to learn Hebrew

As I say to people who ask me how long does it take to achieve your goal?,  Well, the amount of time one dedicates to the language will eventually determine how quickly (or slowly) it will take to learn the language! It is like with anything, the more you put into it, the more you get out of it!  It also depends what your why is?

 If you only want to learn to read Hebrew, it won’t take that long. Using the Easy Learn Hebrew program, maybe 2 months if you work on the lessons consistently. However, if you only spend 10 mins a week, it will take a lot longer. If you want to know how to write and how to use Hebrew grammar, then it will take a lot longer.

I think the take home message is to work consistently at learning Hebrew, and you will achieve your goal.
