Q. Hi, Im 12 years old right now and I have never learned any hebrew before. I only know a few words of it and I have just decided to try and learn hebrew. I was wondering how long it generally takes a kid (or an adult) to learn/pick up on hebrew. Also if it helps I speak Russian, which might or might not help me learn. If you could help me it would be great!

A. Hebrew is a very easy language. If you would like, email me and I could start teaching you the basics. At 12 years old and already bilingual, it won't take long at all.
