About

Hebrew Hero

Read full description

Hebrew Hero teaches Modern Hebrew โ€” the language Israelis actually speak today. Not Biblical Hebrew. Not robotic text-to-speech. The real thing. WHY HEBREW HERO Most Hebrew apps treat the language like an archaeological artifact. They teach you to read prayers, then act surprised when you can't order coffee in Tel Aviv. Hebrew Hero is built differently. โ€ข Native Israeli voice on every word. Real Hebrew, not generic TTS. โ€ข Slow-replay button when you need an extra pass. โ€ข Daily slang from real cafรฉs, taxis, and group chats. โ€ข Cultural notes on every Jewish holiday โ€” Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Hanukkah, Pesach, Shavuot, Lag BaOmer, Tu BiShvat โ€” the calendar Israelis actually live by. โ€ข AI-generated stories built from the words you've already learned. Read in Hebrew, with English fallback the moment you get stuck. โ€ข Pronunciation drills with real-time feedback so you sound like you've been there. โ€ข Streak tracking and a daily goal that nudges without nagging. โ€ข Nikud (Hebrew vowel marks) shown on every new word until you no longer need them. FOR INDIVIDUAL LEARNERS Hebrew Hero is built for one person at a time. No classrooms. No leaderboards. No teacher mode. Just you, the language, and consistent progress. PRIVACY-FIRST We don't sell your data. We don't run ads. We don't track you across the web. Read the full policy in plain English at hebrew-hero.com/privacy. PREMIUM The free tier covers daily vocabulary, slang, holidays, and pronunciation feedback. Premium unlocks unlimited AI stories, conversation practice, and downloadable lessons for travel. Built by an individual developer who learned Hebrew the hard way and wanted to ship the app he wished he'd had. ื™ืืœืœื” โ€” let's learn Hebrew. โ€” Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Terms of Service: https://hebrew-hero.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://hebrew-hero.com/privacy
