Learn Hebrew from the alphabet up, in a language you already think in. AlephTalk teaches Modern Hebrew through a structured 60-day course built for speakers of Hindi, Malayalam and Sinhala. Every word is explained in your own language, so you are never translating twice. A COURSE WITH A SHAPE Sixty days, in order, each building on the last. You start with aleph and bet, move through everyday vocabulary, and arrive at conversations you can actually use. No endless feed of disconnected exercises. HEAR EVERY WORD Tap any word or phrase to hear it pronounced. Where a recording exists you hear a real voice; everywhere else your device speaks the Hebrew aloud, so nothing is ever left silent. LEARN, THEN PROVE IT Each lesson ends with a short quiz. Answer well and the day is marked complete, your streak grows, and your experience points climb. TRACK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE A progress ring shows how much of the 60 days you have finished. Streaks reward turning up daily; the calendar shows exactly which days are behind you. ASK WHEN YOU ARE STUCK A built-in community lets you post a question and get answers from other learners, with threaded replies so conversations stay readable. TRANSLATE ON THE SPOT Type a word or phrase in your own language and get the Hebrew, with pronunciation you can hear immediately. WHO IT IS FOR - Complete beginners who want a path rather than a pile of flashcards - Hindi, Malayalam and Sinhala speakers who would rather not learn via English - Anyone preparing to travel, work or study in Israel - Learners returning to Hebrew who want structure and daily habit Questions?
