What learners say

Reviews from the App Store and Google Play. 4.9 stars on the US App Store.

Extremely helpful and easy to use. I’ve tried many resources for improving my reading and vocabulary. This app makes it easy and enjoyable. They also have cool songs that I have tried to learn from other websites, but the process here is so streamlined and never frustrating. The nikkudot, translation, recordings and the quizzes make this a very high value app for me.

Perfect. Excellent app for learning and especially improving your Hebrew. It has everything: with or without vowels, with or without word-for-word or sentence-by-sentence translation, in print or cursive, through texts or songs. It’s well worth the price. For me, it’s like a game, except I’m learning.

Relevant, easy to use, and enjoyable. Amazing! Most intuitive, practical, and results oriented language app I’ve ever used. Very helpful to have the audio. My conversational skills have really improved.

An amazing app. This app has been very well planned and thought about. It has news articles that are just long enough to consolidate Hebrew learning but also has a range of options from beginner to expert. The audio provides the opportunity to hear words and phrases as many times as you want which is great. Also there is the option to turn nikkud on or off. There are songs as well to listen to following Hebrew lyrics. Customer service is really person centred and helpful. This is a really great affordable app with real people caring about their product. I fully recommend it.

Extremely useful app. This app is exactly what I have been looking for. I’m reading a couple of articles every day and my reading skills are really improving. It’s very well thought out and the interface is intuitive and simple to use. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Wonderful app. Haven’t been using this for so long, but my Hebrew has never improved so much in a month and I’ve been trying for years.

Common questions

All questions and answers
  • Who is Dvash for?

    Dvash is for people who already know some Hebrew and want to live in it: after ulpan, after a course app, or on your own from abroad. If you can read a simple sentence slowly, start at level 1. If you are still learning the alphabet, learn it first and come back.

  • What kind of content does Dvash offer?

    Every weekday, a short story about what is happening in Israel and the world, written in easy Hebrew at one of four levels (1 to 4). Plus a library of short texts about Israeli life and culture, and Israeli songs with line-by-line translation and audio in sync.

  • What are the four Dvash levels?

    In the CEFR scale from A1 to C2, level 1 is roughly A1 to A2. Level 2 is A2 to B1, usually leaning toward B1. Level 3 matches B2, and level 4 covers C1 to C2.

  • How should I use Dvash?

    Ten minutes a day, every day. Pick a story that interests you at your level. Read it and tap the words you do not know. Then listen to it a few times, until it feels easy. Finish with the short quiz. Keep that up and your vocabulary and comprehension grow faster than you expect.

  • Can I save words for later practice?

    Yes. Tap any word in a story to see its translation and hear it. It is saved to My Words, and flashcards with spaced repetition bring it back until it sticks.

  • What is spaced repetition?

    Spaced repetition is a review method that shows you a word again just before you would forget it. Hard words come back often, familiar ones rarely. It is the most efficient way to turn words you looked up once into words you own.

  • Should I save all unfamiliar words?

    No. Reading and listening every day teaches you most words by itself, because the important ones keep coming back. Save the words that are hard for you, or the ones you cannot afford to forget, and let spaced repetition do the rest.
