Milah actually teaches you Hebrew. No excessive gamification. No cartoon characters. Just a method that works: flashcards, refined by the science of memory. How it works Milah uses adaptive spaced repetition — the most proven technique for retaining vocabulary long-term. The app identifies the words you've mastered and the ones that still trip you up, adjusting each session accordingly. You make progress without even noticing the effort. Each card is simple to use: swipe right if you know the word, left if you're unsure. Tap the audio button anytime to hear native Hebrew pronunciation. Come back daily to keep your streak alive. The essential vocabulary Milah's vocabulary covers real-life situations: greetings, family, food, transportation, numbers, colors, daily life. Every word is one you'll actually use — not one that just looks good on a list. Who is this for? — You're planning a trip to Israel and want to go beyond shalom — You live in Israel and want to finally understand the conversations around you — You have Israeli roots and want to reconnect with the language — You're taking Hebrew classes and need a serious tool to reinforce what you learn — You're simply curious about a fascinating language, written right to left What Milah doesn't do Milah won't promise you fluency in 7 days. It won't shower you with confetti for learning the word dog. It won't send you ten notifications a day to guilt you into opening the app. What it does: help you build a solid, lasting vocabulary foundation, one word at a time.

Babel Fish

Babel Fish is a modern Hebrew app for living and learning in Israel: the Hebrew Israelis actually speak, at the café, with the delivery guy, at the dinner table. DECKS THAT LEARN YOU BACK Study with spaced repetition that schedules every card for the moment you're about to forget it. Rate a card Again, Hard, Good or Easy and Babel plans the next review. Every card has Hebrew, transliteration, the English, audio at normal or slow speed, and a memory hook when you need one. ASK FOR ANY PHRASE Type "How do you say what time is it?" and Babel builds the card for you — Hebrew, transliteration, meaning and an example — straight into the deck you pick. You can also turn a photo of a menu, a sign or a textbook page into cards. LIVE TRANSLATE Put your phone on the table and Babel transcribes Hebrew conversation and translates it into English as people talk, highlighting the words you're studying so you can hear them in the wild. Every line can be played back, copied or saved as a card. ASK HOW LOCALS SAY IT Translate anything and get the natural, everyday way to say it, with a note on how Israelis would really put it. Save it to a deck in one tap. GAMES MADE FROM YOUR WORDS Tashbetz, a mini crossword. Mila, guess a Hebrew word in six tries. Zugot, match Hebrew to English. Shoresh, find the words built on a root. Every game uses the words in your own decks. PRICING Decks, flashcards and study are free.
