    Best there is!
    Here is a person who has devoted himself fully to helping people achieve there goals of learning the Hebrew language in a truly spoken manner. The podcast is beautifully crafted, fun, and educational! Listeners will learn new useful words in a way which will allow them to be put into use and retained while learning important Israeli culture and context along the way. I can’t recommend this podcast enough it has greatly enriched my Hebrew education and lifestyle and do consider supporting this great resource on patreon it will greatly benefit both sides you and them כל הכבוד לכם!
  • Ayzeh podcast
    Wonderful podcast
    Guy takes one root (shoresh) each week and shows how it’s used in modern Hebrew. I try to listen first in Hebrew then in English. Entertaining, useful and always fun!
  • Bettyruth_
    Amazing show!!
    This show is amazing. Guy breaks everything down and I think it’s perfect for any level. I love how the songs are added in to fit the theme of the episode.
  • Kevv K
    Great show
    Very entertaining, and very useful! The thematic episodes are fun and include some related music snippets. Highly recommended.
  • Love, Yael
    Excellent!
    Great way to learn, thank you
  • Mondrany
    Amazing podcast for Hebrew learners!
    Great short episodes to improve your Hebrew vocabulary.
  • PinchRos
    Fantastic
    This is a great way to focus on a new word or set of words each week. Guy does a great job delving into a particular root and all the useful derivations of the root word and making sense of how they come about. Also great to use popular music as examples of certain words or phrases.
  • ecllie
    Great podcast
    This is a clear, informative and fun way to learn Hebrew. Guy is a great host. Just know that the actual content is only about 6-7 minutes with the rest the introduction and conclusion. But it’s enough of a bite of Hebrew every week.
  • J—Swag
    Fun way to practice Hebrew!!!
    I’m taking an online Hebrew class, but I have few opportunities to practice or be exposed to the real Hebrew spoken in Israel with the slang and more modern idioms.. Streetwise Hebrew are fun little snippets that give me a bit more exposure and very practical uses. It’s fun and short!
  • Dhdjjdjdcucidned
    ok
    ok conversational. but intro is too long both the standard part and guy’s intro monologue. also unbalanced politically and too left leaning
  • Efhugbdeyb
    Love this podcast!
    Guy is an awesome host and I always learn something. I wish the episodes were a little longer actually! I started listening before a recent trip to Israel to brush up on my Hebrew and now I like to continue listening to make me feel like I’m going back soon!
  • bostonseeker
    What a find!
    This was a real find in language podcasts a couple years ago. Guy is a great host and breaks the lessons down into informal, conversational bites. I try to listen to the English version every week and will soon start listening to the Hebrew version, to expand my Hebrew ability.
  • Y8483
    I love this podcast!
    It’s an easy and excellent way to expand your knowledge of Hebrew. Makes me miss Israel. Episodes are short, interesting and fun. Thank you, Guy and team!
  • 33map
    Super helpful
    What an original way to get “digestible tasty bites” of a language. Guy is so personable and has a sweet sense of humor. His language skills are great as are his teaching skills. Highly recommended.
  • Seth Siegel
    Streetwise Hebrew
    I love this podcast. I listen to the free version and then the Patreon version in Hebrew. As time has gone by, my passive listening skills have grown significantly. Guy is a terrific teacher with a winning personality. Even with minor Hebrew skills, a listener can enjoy this.
  • Blake MM
    Amazing
    I took some Hebrew in college and Streetwise Hebrew has been my way to keep practicing and learning new words over the years. Never a dull episode! Thank you so much Guy and everyone at TLV1 😊

    Fantastic language podcast for all levels
    Very accessible podcast, reliably excellent content, and good for both practical language learning and also fun Hebrew slang and idioms.
  • tsipporahjorah
    Great Podcast!
    I love this podcast, and listen to it each week. I also listen to its partner Hebrew episode. It is such a great way to learn and study Hebrew and understand a little more about Israeli culture. Thank you for making this so fun and interesting each week!
  • Jimalaiyah
    Excellent Resource
    I listen to each episode five or six times in a row. My only wish would be for each episode to be a bit longer with more examples.
  • grannyLeah

    Thanks for sharing these precious nuggets of hebrew language. I feel cooler after listening the podcasts.
  • listening from baltimore
    Love it!!!
    The episodes are relevant to the current situation and he has helped to explain words being used during the war. I absolutely love listening to Guy talk about each root word and all the variations of it. It’s a great way to learn new Hebrew words, to listen to Hebrew being spoken and to hear amazing and beautiful Israeli music, which often he uses as examples of the usage of the featured words. I listen as often as I can!
  • Univsocal
    Allen’s review
    I listen frequently and find this podcast one of the best Hebrew learning tools available.
  • Rosco Chicago
    A Wonderful and Helpful Show!
    I listen to Streetwise Hebrew+ to improve my Hebrew and challenge me to learn new words and phrases. I lived in Israel for two years and have certainly plateaued. This podcast and its resources are helping a great deal.
  • Riv313

    Fun & Practical
    I love this podcast. I have learned so much and enjoy.
  • leahyanit
    The podcast I simply can’t miss
    Listening to Streetwise Hebrew everyday is such fun. It has become a part of my life and I love every second of it. Guy is so smart and entertaining and well informed about both the language and the culture of Israel. I often listen to the podcast several times during the week, sometimes repeating the sentences, sometimes concentrating on the new verbs, sometimes just trying to speak the Hebrew with a decent accent. Having the transcript is a huge plus, as is the links to other related podcasts and of course the songs and commercials and videos he references. So grateful to Guy and TLV1.
  • Weissattys
    Amazing podcast!

    The best!
    I LOVE this podcast!! It has helped my Hebrew so much. Guy is warm, brilliant, charming and creative. I feel like he’s my personal friend. He covers so many subjects and gives us so much in 7 minutes. It moves fast and includes culture, grammar, songs and so much more. It’s always interesting and moves quickly, you’ll never be bored for even a moment. Avail yourself!

  • Psfrankel
    Fun, interesting and useful
    This is one of the best Hebrew podcasts out there. I love hearing native speakers on the streets, and also learning so much about the culture. Highly recommended!
  • Atzmauta
    Learning Hebrew is Fun with Guy
    As a native Hebrew speaker who left Israel at a young age, this podcast has filled in many blanks in my mind about usage and colloquialisms so that now I have the confidence to understand “between the lines” when I visit. Your latest episode on Panim was a brilliant amalgam of old and new idioms for frequently used phrases. Genius!
  • jillsherm
    טודה!!
    אני אוהבת את הפדכסת! זה ממש טוב לאני כי אני אוהבת לשמוע ליברית! אני לומדת עיברית לשלש שנים! טודה רבה!
  • Secondalto
    Great fun
    Been listening to Streetwise Hebrew for years and it’s always entertaining as well as educational. Thank you Guy Sharet.
  • barvazyarok
    One of the best Hebrew learning podcasts
    I’ve loved this podcast for the past ~10 years. Keep going strong, Guy! Listening to the Hebrew version with the transcript is especially helpful.
  • MrsBloom21
    Clear and entertaining way to learn
    I especially love when we learn from commercials and songs. It is also wonderful when the episode matches something I have learned in Ulpan!
  • Adam-324
    Wonderful Podcast
    This is a wonderful podcast teaching not only modern Israeli usage but also giving some historical perspective of how the language is evolving. I am still at a basic level, but enjoy listening to and learning from Guy.
  • ElCapitanNico
    Best learning companion you could imagine
    This podcast is helpful for learners at all levels. It’s short enough and covers bite-sized material so it’s not overwhelming for a newbie like me but it also gives you real-world vocab with context. The topics are up to date and teach you about Tel Aviv and Israeli culture as well as the language. Guy and the entire TLV1 team do an excellent job.
