Free Hebrew learning resources

8 free resources, checked and categorised.

Free to start

Every link is usable without paying. Some ask for a free account or keep extras behind a paid tier, and those are labelled.

Everything below is usable without paying; where a resource asks for a free account or keeps extras behind a paid tier, the row says so. The list covers the main ways people study Hebrew: structured courses to build a foundation, dictionaries to look things up, and listening and reading material to spend real time in the language. Start with one course and one dictionary, then add listening once you can follow simple sentences.

Learn it there, practise it here

Free resources are great for input: reading, listening, explanations. They are weaker at the two things that actually move you forward: speaking Hebrew out loud, and remembering what you met once. That is what OwnSlides is for.

Say it out loud

Talk to an AI tutor that answers back, or get matched with other learners and native speakers for a text chat.

Practise what you read

Turn a grammar point or article into exercises, so it moves from recognised to usable.

Keep the words

Save new words to My Words and let spaced repetition bring them back before you forget them.

This directory began from a community-built list of free language resources, a year of collecting and checking by Joanna (u/chlebka) and dozens of contributors who suggested links, shared freely. See the original list. We have since expanded, re-checked and re-categorised it, and we keep the per-resource credits where the original list recorded them.
