About Me
italki teacher since Apr 20, 2020Interest topicWritingReadingTravel
Hi, shalom! My name is David. I’m graduated from the Goethe university in Frankfurt am Main in Bachelor and Master degree in linguistics.
I've been teaching Hebrew for more than 20 years – in private, in many language courses, at the university, where I taught modern and biblical Hebrew, and of course also online.
I teach Hebrew in English, German and Russian / ICH UNTERRICHTE AUCH IN DEUTSCHER SPRACHE / Я ПРЕПОДАЮ ТАКЖЕ ПО-РУССКИ.
I motivate my students to learn Hebrew in order to share my interest in languages and especially in Hebrew.Me as a Teacher
To determine the learning process, I proceed from the goals of my students.
I speak, ask questions, and encourage my students to do the same. I remember that questions can never be stupid. We read stories, newspapers, books, etc.
By the way, I have a lot of experience in preparing students for ulpan exams, as well as university exams, for tourism purposes, for reading the Bible or professional vocabulary. Because of my linguistic education, I can explain any, even the most complex grammatical concepts.My lessons & teaching style
Depending on for which purpose you need to learn the language, I will tune the learning methods to adapt the study to your needs. So you can either start speaking fast or learn the grammar deeply - it's just up to you to decide!
I have the following textbooks:
1. "Ulpan ivrit", which is big and detailed.
2. "Shear ivrit".
3. "Sheat ivrit".
4. Diverse ulpans' scripts.
5. "Complete Modern Hebrew" by Gilboa.
6. "Colloquial Hebrew" by Lyttleton and Wang.
7. "My First Hebrew Word Book" - a children book.
8. My own grammar scripts.
PLEASE NOTE, that I don't help to solve any college tests.My teaching material

Meine Probestunde mit David Katz war sehr gut. Er kennt sich wirklich gut mit hebräischer Grammatik aus, was für mich sehr hilfreich war.
