I was wondering which books my fellow advanced Hebrew learners use (besides regular native material).
I recently bought the following ones:

- עברית בה״א הידיעה

- כמו כלים שלובים

and

- עברית תמיד

My intent is to pass the P’tor exam, therefore I need to make sure to know especially all the vocabulary
that is taught at university up until level Vav.

My favorite tool to memorize words is Anki. So if there’s anyone here who has already created Anki
decks (or any other kind of list for that matter) for levels Heh and Vav and would be so kind to share,
please let me know. It would be very much appreciated.

I am an A0 hebrew learner yet, but Tavros is quite advanced I believe.

I'd also like to ask if there is a native Israeli here, to help out now and then. The help I have recieved from native French, Turkish and Russian members is invaluable. If only there was something like that in hebrew...

Good luck with your vocabulary and exam goals, and maybe we could see you in the rare languages thread? I don't know if you can still join, but you could ask, if you'd like.

There used to be someone but he/she disppeared.

I'm not quite sure I'm advanced, more an intermediate speaker of Hebrew. I speak fairly
decently and can produce reasonably grammatical sentences, I just take forever to read
Hebrew because of the lack of vowels in writing and because of the fact I need to
broaden my vocabulary.

As for materials. I don't use any anymore except native materials. I own a grammar and
I may go through that someday to reinforce certain grammatical aspects I have trouble
with (future tense) but other than that, nope (and I usually even know future tense in
writing, I just forget the vowel structures).

What is level Vav and what are the requirements for it?

One thing I plan to do is spend time in Israel in either an ulpan or some other
immersion-style setting. Other than that I use native materials exclusively nowadays.
Bored of textbooks.

It's definitely an advantage to have a native speaker around. Especially in the beginning when even
basics are unclear. Depending on where you live you may have the chance to attend a class or take
private lessons, although I assume it's probably relatively hard to find a teacher in Greece?!

Thank you. I'm still new here figuring things out. If you're talking about one of these TAC's: maybe next
year with Mandarin. ;)

You can check out books targeted towards children since they're written with vowel points. For example
"The Little Prince". Not really a children's book but still with vowel points.

For grammar I like "Reading Academic Hebrew" by Nitza Krohn.

Ulpanim usually offer six different levels from Aleph, Bet, Gimel, Dalet, Heh up to Vav, comparable to A1,
A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. -> https://overseas.huji.ac.il/hebrewlevels
I want to pass Vav at university, preferably in Jerusalem.

If you're looking for total immersion it might be a good idea to go to a kibbutz (where they offer classes)
instead of a university.
