Shalom!

Hebrew College Online offers five different levels of Modern Hebrew, and you may be wondering which level is appropriate for you. On the left hand side of this page under "Samples..." you can click on a Hebrew course ("Hebrew One" through "Hebrew Five") to view samples from that course. When you think you've found the course for you, take the Placement Test to be sure. The tests are designed as indicators of your "testing out" of a course, not "testing into" a course. Thus, if you score very high (more than 80%) you may want to take the placement test at the next higher level. If you feel that a test is too hard, try the test at the next lower level.

Please note: these tests are solely to help you make an initial selection of the right course for you. When you register for a course you will be able to discuss your Hebrew level with our Hebrew Coordinator and choose a different level during the two week "Add/Drop Period", as appropriate.

One final note. To view the Samples and to take the Placement Tests you will need a sound board and the "Flash" and "Quick Time" plugins. (If your computer does not have Flash or Quick Time you can use the following links to download these free programs:

Quicktime for Windows or MAC computers
