Everything in the Dvash app
Dvash is a daily Hebrew reader: real Israeli news and songs with a safety net on every word. Here is every feature, from tap to translate and Hebrew flashcards with spaced repetition to the grammar games and Word Snake.
Easy Hebrew news, every weekday
Our editors take stories Israelis are reading, from politics to sport to the odd thing that happened in Haifa, and write them in easy Hebrew at four levels. 386 articles per language so far, a new one every weekday, each one recorded and ready to tap.
Israeli songs with line-by-line translation
Current hits and the classics everyone knows by heart. Each line translated, the audio in sync with the lyrics, every word tappable. Learn Hebrew with songs and you learn the Israel behind them.
Library: Israel in short texts
Short pieces about holidays, places, people and history, written at the same four levels. Read them in any order, bookmark the ones you like, and come back to the archive whenever you want.
Tap to translate
Tap any word for its meaning in context, its base form, its root, a picture and audio. Long-press a sentence for the full translation. You never leave the story to look something up.
Hebrew with nikud, or without
Keep the vowel marks on while you need them and turn them off when you are ready. Switch between seven Hebrew fonts, from newspaper print to handwriting, so the Hebrew on a street sign stops looking strange.
Read aloud
Every story and song has audio. Listen at full speed or slow it down, and follow the text while it is read. Your ear catches up with your eyes.
My Words and Hebrew flashcards
Every word you tap is saved to My Words. Flashcards with spaced repetition bring each word back just before you would forget it, and every word moves through four mastery levels as you get it right.
- New
- Learning
- Familiar
- Mastered
Verb tables
Tap a verb and see its full inflection table with root and binyan (the verb pattern). Every form, every tense, every person, from the verb in front of you.
Hebrew grammar exercises as gamesComing in the next app update
Six quick games built on the verb tables you meet in real stories. Two minutes a day keeps the forms alive, and the verbs come from what you read, so the practice stays real.
Form Match
See a verb form, pick the matching person and tense. Fast recognition of who is doing what, and when.
Listen and Tap
Hear a form read aloud and tap the one you heard. Trains your ear for the endings that fly past in conversation.
Build the Verb
Assemble the form from its pieces: root, prefix, ending. The way the language is actually built.
Fill the Table
An inflection table with gaps. Fill them in and watch the whole pattern take shape.
Odd One Out
Four forms, one does not belong. Spot the wrong tense, person or binyan.
Speed Round
As many forms as you can before the clock runs out. For the days when the other games feel easy.
Word SnakeComing in the next app update
Steer a snake to eat the right translation of the word shown, out of four. A wrong answer makes the snake grow. Every round counts toward your spaced repetition, so a game on the bus is a review session. Free mode and a nikud switch included.
Comprehension quiz
After each story, a short quiz checks that you understood what you read. A finished story feels finished.
FiltersComing in the next app update
Pick the topics you care about and the levels you read at. The feed shows only those, so a football fan at level 2 sees football at level 2.
A warm design, in light and dark
A reading app should be easy on the eyes. Dvash has a warm editorial design, a dark mode for the evening, seven Hebrew fonts and a text size you set yourself.
In your language
The app interface, translations and word meanings are available in English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian and Arabic. Pick your language once and everything follows.
