Why You’re Struggling to Learn Hebrew - And How to Fix It

Feb 3 / Aviv Man
Are You Stuck Memorizing Hebrew Instead of Actually Using It?

Let me guess - you've been trying to learn Hebrew, but every time you come back to it, you feel like you forgot half of what you learned. You might even be thinking, "Maybe I’m just bad at languages".

But the truth? You’re not the problem. Your learning method is.

Learning a Language is NOT Like Studying Math!

If you're treating Hebrew like math - just memorizing rules or words and reviewing them once a week - you're setting yourself up for frustration. Languages don’t stick unless you actively engage with them.

To really learn Hebrew fast, you need to hear, read, and use it frequently- not just sit with a textbook once a week.
Why Exposure is More Important Than "Studying"
Think about it: Would you go to the gym once a week for 3 hours and expect results?
Of course not! The same applies to learning Hebrew.

Here’s the winning formula:
✔ Learn Hebrew every day or at least every 48 hours – Even just 10-15 minutes a day is better than cramming once a week.
✔ Expose yourself to Hebrew naturally – Watch short videos, listen to music, or even just repeat words out loud.
✔ Join a structured Hebrew learning program (like mine 😉) that holds you accountable.
✔ Connect with the culture – Language isn’t just about words. The more you understand how Israelis think and speak, the easier it will be.

The Best Way to Learn Hebrew: Small, Consistent Steps

💡 Rule of thumb: If more than 48 hours pass without seeing or hearing Hebrew, you start to forget what you learned. That’s why short, frequent sessions are key.

If you're serious about learning Hebrew effectively, start with small, consistent exposure. It’s not about cramming - it’s about building a habit.
