What a Lesson Is Like
The coach opens with something from your interests and works the day's Hebrew word into the conversation. You answer out loud. It replies, and keeps you going for about twelve turns, which lands somewhere between five and twenty minutes.
Its lines appear as Hebrew with vowel marks, a transliteration under them, and the English meaning if you want it. Yours appear with a mark under anything worth fixing. Tap it and you get your sentence, the corrected sentence, a one-line reason, and the version a native speaker would have used, which you can hear and repeat.
You choose when to be corrected: as it happens, a few times a lesson, or only at the end. You can change the topic, ask how to say something, slow it down, replay a line, or switch to typing at any point.
- Daily lesson: about twelve spoken turns, built from your interests and a Hebrew word of the day.
- Role play: the barista, the landlord, your partner's mother, the work call, each with a brief and a goal.
- Read and talk: a short Hebrew article with vowel marks, then a conversation about it.
- Unlimited talk: free conversation, unlocked once the day's lesson is done.
- Recap: your best sentence, a skill read on pronunciation, fluency and grammar, and a short takeaway deck.
What Makes It a Hebrew Tutor and Not a Translated English One
Hebrew is written without vowels, which means a large share of everyday words have more than one possible reading, and many of those readings split along gender. The same five letters are said one way to a man and another way to a woman. A written transcript cannot show you that mistake, and an English-shaped grammar checker will never look for it.
So the coach starts from who you are. You set it once, she addresses you correctly from the first sentence, and the corrections cover the things Hebrew actually gets wrong: gender agreement, the little prefixes that attach to the next word, the difference between going home and going to the house, and whether your register fits the room.
| Hebrew | Said to or by a man | Said to or by a woman |
|---|---|---|
| מה שלומך | ma shlomkha | ma shlomekh |
| אני רוצה | ani rotse | ani rotsa |
| בשבילך | bishvilkha | bishvilekh |
| אמרת | amarta | amart |
| שלך | shelkha | shelakh |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an AI tutor for Hebrew?
Yes. baba Tutor is an AI Hebrew speaking coach in development inside the baba Learn app, and baba's web app has a live Hebrew voice tutor today.
Can an AI tutor replace a human Hebrew teacher?
Not entirely. A human teacher gives richer feedback and structure. An AI coach adds speaking time whenever you want it, without scheduling or stage fright, which is the part most learners are missing.
Does the AI Hebrew tutor work for beginners?
Yes. You can ask it to slow down, repeat, or explain a word in English, and every Hebrew line comes with vowel marks and a transliteration, so you can start before you read fluently.
Does it speak Israeli Hebrew or textbook Hebrew?
Everyday Israeli Hebrew. You can steer a lesson toward slang, work language, directions or whatever you need.
Can I do a lesson without speaking out loud?
Yes. Typing is a first-class path: a typed lesson gets the same grammar corrections and the same recap. Only the pronunciation score needs your voice.

baba Tutor gives one full lesson free with no card, then it is part of the baba Learn subscription. The web voice tutor is part of baba Pro+, with 60 minutes a month.
