At the end of 2025, I was looking for a site to learn Hebrew by reading stories.
Reading websites exist for other languages, so I was surprised that there wasn't a good one specifically for Hebrew.
As a software developer, I decided to build this myself.
I launched it in January 2026, and have since received many kind messages and bits of feedback from learners.
It's now a full time endeavor for me, where I am constantly adding new stories, as well as features which people have requested.
If you discover a bug or want to request a feature, I would love to hear from you! (hello@storyhebrew.com) I'm a one-person team and I read everything myself.

Yes, if you start at A1. You do not need to know the alphabet first: every word has transliteration and translation. Expect to tap words often at first. That is normal. Your job in the first few stories is to follow the meaning, not memorize everything.
Duolingo is strong for quick drills and basic vocabulary. StoryHebrew is built for reading full sentences and stories in context. Most learners hit a wall when apps never give them connected text. StoryHebrew is meant to fill that gap.
Take the free level test if you are unsure. Otherwise start at A1 and move up only when you can read most of a story without tapping every word. Rushing to a harder level is the most common reason people stall.
Yes. Stories run from A1 to C2, with longer sentences, less common vocabulary and fewer vowel marks at higher levels. Stay at a level until it feels manageable, then step up one level at a time.
Premium unlocks the full story library, vocabulary tracking across all stories, native audio, and new content as it is added. Free users can still read all free stories.
New stories are added all the time, so there is always fresh reading material as you progress.
Yes. The full reader works in mobile browsers, and you can add StoryHebrew to your home screen.
Premium is $12/month when billed annually or $19/month when billed monthly. It is a subscription. Cancel anytime from your account page.
Yes. Cancel from your account page at any time. Your Premium access continues until the end of your billing period, and you won't be charged again.
Yes. You can request a full refund within 30 days of purchase. Email us at support@storyhebrew.com.
Your saved words and reading progress stay on your account. You can still use free stories and your vocab list.
Very positive news on my end. StoryHebrew has been doing really well over the summer, and I am so excited to make it my full-time focus.
I was so pleased to see students from all across the world sign up and start using StoryHebrew. What started as a fun project in January has turned into a full-time app with hundreds of passionate learners.
I have dozens of new features and hundreds more stories ready to publish soon. I am so excited about the future of StoryHebrew, and I hope you are too.
Now that I am going full time, I can read every feature request, bug report, and email that comes in. If you would like to reach out, my email is hello@storyhebrew.com.
All the best, Robert
