1. GETTING STARTED & PLACEMENT:
How many levels of Hebrew can I tackle at UAB? Ready, set, ten! From complete novices to seasoned scholars, we've got you covered with three beginner levels (A1, A2, A3), three intermediate stages (B1, B2, B3), and four advanced or academic tiers (G1, G2, D1, D2, H1).
​
How do I figure out my Hebrew level if I've learned before? Kickstart your journey with us by taking our placement test. Once you ace the written part, we'll schedule a Zoom call to discuss the result and decide on the best level for you.
​
I can speak Hebrew, but writing is a "bit of a pickle." What's next? No worries, we've got your back. As with all students, we'll ask you to complete the online Hebrew test to gauge your level. From there, we'll customize a plan to bolster your reading and writing skills.

2. THE CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE:
​
What sets UAB apart from other Ulpans? Since day one, our sole focus has been on evolving into the best Ulpan we can be. We invite you to read our reviews to see how we stack up.
​
Other Ulpans offer more class hours. Why not UAB? At UAB, we value quality over quantity. While some institutions inflate hours with breaks and shorter academic hours (45 mins), we deliver the exact 30 hours of real instruction time per course – no more, no less.
​
How many students are in each class? We cap our classes at 6-10 students to ensure everyone gets their fair share of teacher attention.
What's the structure of UAB courses? Each of our classes meets twice a week, running for a generous 90 minutes each time over a span of 10 weeks.
​
Is there homework? We recommend setting aside about two hours per week for homework. To propel you to the next level, we also have midterm and end-of-course exams, featuring both spoken and written elements.
​
Do you collaborate with Misrad Haklita (Ministry of Aliyah)? No, we operate independently. This allows us to maintain our specific teaching standards and small group sizes.

3. LOGISTICS, PAYMENTS & POLICIES:
​
How much is a course?

​
Do I need to pay upfront? Yes, payment is upfront. However, you can opt for a three-payment plan if you're using an Israeli credit card.
​
How can I pay for an employee's course? Simply buy a gift card for your employee or friend. We'll send an invoice or receipt upon request.
​
I can't make it to the class. Can I join via Zoom? The short answer is no. The quality of instruction is compromised when some students are on Zoom and others are in the classroom. We suggest our students enroll in a course that is entirely in-person or entirely on Zoom.
​
Can I get a recording of the lessons? To protect the privacy of our students, we do not record the lessons. We want students to feel comfortable speaking Hebrew without fear of being recorded.
​
I can't make it to some lessons. Can I get a discount? Unfortunately, no. The course price is fixed for everyone, and we don't offer discounts based on attendance
