Emphasizes equal development of the four language skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. Presents new grammatical concepts and vocabulary through materials about Jewish and Israeli culture and tradition, as well as popular culture and day-to-day life in modern Israel. Learning is amplified by use of online resources (YouTube, Facebook, newspapers) and examples from Hebrew song and television/film. Starts a transition from simple/simplified Hebrew to a more literate one, and sharpens the distinction between different registers of the language.
