WELCOME!

The Hebrew Program is part of the Department of Middle Eastern Studies. The
department offers undergraduate and graduate degrees, and Hebrew students
typically concentrate on Modern Hebrew or the ancient Near East. Students are
encouraged to develop a regional focus at both the undergraduate and graduate
levels.

Academic and cultural activities in the department are supported by the Center
for Middle Eastern Studies, whose activities are primarily funded by a federal
Title VI grant.

The Modern Hebrew Project, which produced open resource tools for the study of
Modern Hebrew language and linguistics, was initiated at the University of Texas
Linguistics Research Center in the late 1990s, and some of the materials
developed within that framework are still available through this site. This
project was generously supported by the University of Texas Vision Plan and the
College of Liberal Arts.

The materials available on this site are intended for use by the general public
as well as by UT students. While they may supplement any curriculum, the
tutorials and other resources offered here work best within the framework of the
curriculum developed at the University of Texas at Austin. Materials for Esther
Raizen's Modern Hebrew for Beginners (UT Press,2016), and Modern Hebrew for
Intermediate Students (UT Press, 2016) are included in the Tutorials and Video
Clips sections of this site (see navigation bar).

We have also made available for general use Yours Truly, twenty units with a
listening component and exercises. This set was developed to supplement the
curriculum used at UT as we moved into an intensive model of instruction, but
may be used independently as well.

Materials on this site may be used, quoted, or linked to for educational
purposes without prior permission, provided that appropriate credit is given to
Dr. Raizen and the University of Texas at Austin. Commercial use of this
material or its duplication in any form are strictly prohibited.





FAQ

Q: Where can one find transcripts of the sound files and videos?

A: Many users have requested such transcripts, and we are aware that
accessibility consideration might justify their use as well. We feel, however,
that since the audio and video files are included for the purpose of developing
the listening comprehension skill, the availability of transcripts would work
against the very purpose of the materials. We do not, therefore, provide such
transcripts.

Q: Do you provide technical support for site users?

A: We do not. Users rarely encounter technical difficulties.

Q: How current is the site?

A: The site was updated in Summer 2024.
