About Program
Study modern Hebrew in Jerusalem, Israel, at one of the leading language institutes in the city. Polis The Jerusalem Institute of Languages and Humanities was established by several academics who shared the vision of promoting the learning of ancient and Semitic languages. For the founders of the institute,the best way to understand an ancient or modern text or culture is to become immersed in the language, through listening, speaking, writing, and reading. The institute applies The Polis Method, which is made up of pedagogical methodologies that copy the way a person's mother tongue is learned, in all its language courses.
Using methods such as Total Physical Response and Storytelling, students are constantly involved in the learning process, and are completely immersed in the target language from the first day. This method allows for ancient languages to come alive and be used as a living language.
