Hebrew Beyond the Classroom

Tel Aviv University invites members of its community, schools, and Hebrew learners to engage with the language through conversation, interactive activities, and special initiatives for different audiences. 

Tachles Talk: Hebrew Speaking Club 

Tachles (תכלס) is a common Hebrew expression meaning “getting to the point” or “what really matters.” The club focuses on practical, everyday Hebrew and provides opportunities to practice speaking through guided conversations, interactive activities, and real-life scenarios. 

Open to members of the Tel Aviv University community, Tachles Talk is a non-credit, non-academic speaking club designed to help participants develop their spoken Hebrew in an informal and supportive environment. 

Hebrew Language Olympiad 

Founded in 2021, the Hebrew Language Olympiad is an annual international competition for school students in Israel and abroad, organized by the Department of Hebrew Language and Semitic Linguistics at Tel Aviv University. 

The competition invites participants to explore Hebrew through linguistic puzzles, logical reasoning, creative problem-solving, and language awareness. 

A dedicated track is available for non-native Hebrew speakers and Hebrew learners. Finalists are invited to participate in the championship round held annually at Tel Aviv University.
