Hebrew eAudiobooks on OverDrive
Have you heard of OverDrive? It has some great Audiobooks that can help you learn Hebrew!
Log in from anywhere using your library card number and PIN number.
Learn Hebrew Online with Mango
Another way to learn Hebrew is with the help of Mango. It's my personal favourite.
It has built in audio, so words and sentences are spoken in both English and Hebrew, helping you learn. There are 10 chapters, that include topics such as "Greetings, Gratitude, Goodbyes," "Names and Introductions," "Getting Around Town," and "Shopping and Payment." It may not be enough to become fluent, but it's just the thing if you're planning a trip to Israel.
Mango also offers separate lessons in "Biblical Hebrew," which can be a great resource for religious studies.
Watch Movies Online
If you're a movie watcher, we've got Hoopla, which lets you borrow dozens of movies in Hebrew.
You can stream them in your web browser or enjoy them offline on your smartphone or tablet. You just need to create a user account using your library card.
Have you seen any of these movies? How about some of the other Hebrew movies available on Hoopla?
Print Your Hebrew Book at the Library
You can even print your own Hebrew paperbacks at the library with Asquith Press! Perhaps you've written a novel, memoir, family history or recipe book? It would make a great present for birthdays, celebrations and holidays.
The library's Asquith Press "lets you design and print bookstore quality paperback books at a low price." Books can be in any language, including Hebrew!
