learn to speak Hebrew with us… this summer!

Ulpan La-Inyan midsummer classes
 
We’ve got a midsummer session of our fun, relaxed and highly-effective conversational Hebrew classes, starting on July 25 and running through September 2.
 
We’re offering a variety of levels at the AACI in both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, as well as an intensive form of our Level 3 class in the Beit Shemesh area (registration deadline for that one is this Sunday, June 27). 
 
To save 50 shekels on the Jerusalem and Tel Aviv courses, you must register by July 8.
 
I hope to see you in class! 
(I’ll be sure to drop in at all locations)
