deadline for Ulpan La-Inyan summer discount…!

ByAmi Steinberger July 7, 2010November 5, 2018

Class starts on July 25… and the discount ends today! (Thursday)

Come join our nutty professors (just kidding – our teachers are super-hip) and learn to speak Hebrew in a way you’ve probably never before come across… that is, unless you’ve taken a course with us before, in which case you get more discounts.

Today (Thursday, July 25) is the last day to get a 5% discount for the upcoming Ulpan La-Inyan session, with conversational Hebrew courses at a variety of levels at AACI Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

In no time, you’ll be feeling like this kid down here, at least vis-a-vis your Hebrew.
