Describe a picture: Using ESL for Hebrew learners

 I just had a great idea!  

I teach both Hebrew and English online, and often I need more material for my Hebrew classes. 

Hebrew students need all the same skills as English learners, reading, listening, writing and speaking. 

Here is a website that is for ESL, describing pictures, so I will use it for both sets of learners!

The first step to use these pictures is to ask the student to translate the words into Hebrew, and then ask them to say sentences with the words to describe the picture!

https://eslvault.com/picture-description-worksheets/

Good luck with your English and Hebrew!

Numbers in Hebrew מספרים בעברית 1-10

 Now you need to ask your partner what is the time!  

When we talk about the time,most of the time we use the feminie numbers. 

שעה hour is a fem. word. So we use the fem number. 

What is the time? 

The time is 3:30 

What is the time? 

The time is 8:00. 

Make up more questions and answers!
