Summary

Get the special course and at a special price by visiting https://tlv1.fm/happy6

The podcast recently celebrated its 6th birthday. And as part of our celebrations, Guy asked Ruben Adery to put together a special introductory online course for Streetwise Hebrew listeners.

The course goes through the most mispronounced sounds in Hebrew. It combines explanatory videos with longer practice videos and provides downloadable word-lists that guide your pronunciation practice.

The online course would have been regularly priced at $147US but listeners can access it for $66 as part of our podcast’s 6th birthday celebrations. Get it at https://tlv1.fm/happy6

The course helps your spoken Hebrew sound more like Israeli Hebrew. And we truly hope that the special offer will provide the course at a price that will allow more people to access it.
