Learn Hebrew Through Songs: “Makhela Aliza” – An Interactive Listening Game

Learning Hebrew through songs is a great way to practice listening, learn new vocabulary, and get used to the rhythm and sound of spoken Hebrew.

In this interactive Hebrew listening game, you’ll learn through “Makhela Aliza” (מקהלה עליזה), a beloved Israeli kid’s song performed by Chava Alberstein, with lyrics by Leah Naor and music by Nurit Hirsch.

Listen, read, and learn

Start by listening to the song and following along with the lyrics. As you read, you can click on highlighted Hebrew words and phrases to see their meaning, pronunciation, and an English explanation.

The game includes two levels, so you can choose the kind of practice that works best for you. The Beginner level focuses on basic vocabulary and English translations, while the Advanced level gives you explanations in Hebrew and highlights more challenging words and expressions.

Put on the song, follow the lyrics, and see how much Hebrew you can understand. And if you enjoyed this one, you can also try my previous interactive Hebrew song game – “Omrim sheHaya po SameaH”
