In regards to
The Hebrew Workshop is a private Hebrew school (" Ulpan “) located in Paris and Tel-Aviv. We teach modern Hebrew with an emphasis on oral communication. Classes are held in small groups, allowing each student to participate in discussion in a relaxed atmosphere. The topics covered in class revolve around contemporary Israeli culture: music, poetry, TV series, newspaper articles... Our students learn Hebrew while discovering Israeli culture, which is intimately linked to it. This makes our courses perfectly suited for students who want to get by in Hebrew quickly to communicate and be independent in Israel.
The motivations of the students are diverse: some want to emigrate to Israel (to do their Aliya ”) or are thinking about it, others have an Israeli spouse, and others simply want to learn a new language or get to know Israeli society better.
