About HebrewO
HebrewO is a web course for learning to write Hebrew by tracing each letter on a canvas. Learners start with print letters and move on to Israeli cursive (Ktav Yad), then work through 500 everyday words. It is aimed at beginners who want to build handwriting skills alongside letter recognition rather than only learning to read.
The tracing canvas works with a finger, stylus or mouse, shows a short pass bar after each trace, and requires passing a quiz to open the next unit. It is mobile first, suited to iPad with Apple Pencil, and installable as a PWA. Progress is saved to an account so lessons can be resumed. One new word each day is free to trace for everyone, and the site also publishes free guides on the alphabet, final letters and Ktav Yad, plus a tool that traces your name in Hebrew. Full access is sold as a paid subscription or a one-time payment, while the free daily word lets visitors try the tracing canvas before signing up.
