Hebrew: Story of the Sleeping Beauty - Alisa Zingerman | PG 2019

Finally, after 3 years’ break, the Hebrew workshop is back to PG! And I have so much to tell you in these 45 minutes – the time will fly! (Like in a Jerusalem bus that whooshes from a station and you have to grasp tight to stay standing – have you had this experience? No? Well, if not – it’s high time you learn some Hebrew, visit Israel, and get yourself on a bus – the perfect place to practice, by the way! :) )

Now, I know you all may have different reasons for visiting this workshop – some consider starting to learn Hebrew, some have already started, some want to know how it works and “feels” in comparison to other languages, etc., etc. How can one possibly unite all these in one workshop? Well, I’ll try. :) Here we will be reading Hebrew (several letters and the words we can make with them), speaking Hebrew (a mini hands-on practice of combining words into sentences), talking about Hebrew (discuss a birds’ eye overview of the grammar of the language), and singing in Hebrew (sing-along texts provided)!

Alisa Zingerman is a language-learner and a language teacher, most interested in creating something new that wasn’t there before – be it personal, like learning a new language, or public, such as creating a course or publishing a book.
Lived in Russia, Israel and Germany (so far), if not to count long stays in the friendly Bulgaria. Possesses (or is possessed by) a vast variety of interests ranging from animation to neuroscience, besides the most long-lasting passion that unites us all here – languages.
Hates phone calls and thinks that reading is the best meditation.
