In this article, Lifsa Schachter, professor emeritus of education at the Siegal College, shares some of her ideas on a range of questions such as: What are the best ways to teach Hebrew? What are ambitious, but reasonable goals for Hebrew language learning supplementary schools? What constitutes literacy? Her ideas emanate from the research literature on second language acquisition, as well as from her own experiences and experiments designed to make a difference in the domain of Hebrew language learning.
