Try the Hebrew Task You Actually Need
Confirm beta access and the features available in the build you receive. A shared tutor name or a memory claim does not establish affiliation or identical functionality.
Ask a question you would use in Israel, answer it in Hebrew and ask for one follow-up. Then request an explanation of a correction and try the corrected phrase again. Check the speaker and listener forms, the help you can reveal, and whether the useful phrase is easy to find later.
A transcript can show the words a recognizer selected. It cannot, by itself, prove that every sound was pronounced correctly. Read what the feedback measures and keep a teacher or fluent speaker involved for wording that matters.
Inside baba Learn
- Two Hebrew tutors. Choose Maya or David. Each has a different voice; Hebrew address follows your grammatical gender.
- Conversation lessons. Classic conversations, Israeli role-plays, Read and Talk, and Free Talk give you different ways to speak.
- Help while you speak. Ask How Do I Say, request a simpler line or a suggested reply, and reveal English or transliteration when you need it.
- Corrections you can revisit. See a more natural Hebrew phrase, understand the reason, then return to it in Fix Your Mistakes.
- Hebrew sound practice. Listen, record and compare words or phrases, with feedback on sounds the app heard differently.
- Words from your conversations. Save useful words and phrases to My Cards, then review them by revealing, typing or saying an answer.
- Reading and daily practice. Read and Talk, letter practice, daily words, and the Say It Right and Shuk Rush games support practice between conversations.
- Continuity between lessons. The tutor remembers selected facts and recurring weak spots. Recaps, spoken-time goals and history help you revisit your work.
