Are you wanting to turn a homeless sheler into a battered womens shelter?  Or are you actually wanting integrate them? Women who have been abused do not want to be anywhere near a man!!! especially not the kind of men who are at homeless shelters!!! Not a good plan!

Do you mean Hebrew? Contact your local community college or Jewish Community Center and ask if they offer classes or can recommend a tutor in your area.

I took some classes in Hebrew from a local synogogue years ago (usually they're free) and remember some of what I learned.\n\nActually, the Rabbi who taughtthe class was the grandson of Eli Ben Yehuda the first native speaker of Hebrew.

A program called Rosetta Stone makes language tutors that are very effective (I learned conversational german in a week) although somewhat pricey. They do have Hebrew. Also you should check with a local synogogue. Most do teach Hebrew.

The best thing to do is to immerse yourself in a language - that's the theory with ulpan since the teachers don't teach you from your native language and you are with others.\n\nUlpan works/ The extent to which it works depends upon you. If you hang out with English speakers and attend an ulpan with a lot of English speakers it will not work as well, but if you don't your aliyah will be very difficult because you will not have anyone to connect with and share common experiences. You need to compromise.\n\nCheck out the ulpan at Kibbutz Maagan Michael if you are not religious it is a good choice. See http://maaganeng.bsmart.co.il/HTMLs/article_p.aspx?C2023=14818&BSP=12905&BSS235=14818&BSS=14818&BSCP=12905\n\nFeel free to email me for more info (I made aliyah 15 years ago and know a lot of the programs)\n\nTo learn Hebrew now, you can start reading the newspaper - there is a  Hebrew paper for beginiers called Shaar LMatchil, you can get outside of Israel. See http://www.slamathil.co.il/default.htm\n\nTo learn Hebrew in Israel stay away from the English hotspots like Jerusalem and immerse yourself in smaller outlying areas, but agin, your aliyah will be more difficult there. I know people who have lived in Jerusalem for 30 years and hardly know Hebrew! You couldn't do that in Beer Sheva!

Can't be done! In fact, living there may jeopardize your ability to converse in English. This is the reason most New Yorkers rarely cross the Hudson unless there's a good concert over there.\n\nJust kidding! There are the Berlitz schools all over NJ - not to mention more colleges & language schools than you can shake an obi at.

I am teen, and i love Brooklyn,  I live here and there are alot of things to do and a lot of diversity,  you have the mall, movie theaters, roller skating rink,  labor day parade if you are west indian,  Too much to even explain. Visit sometime with someone that can take you to all of these places.  See for yourself (and you would not get raped in brooklyn,  if that was the case you can get raped anywhere)

An amazing anatomy exhibit is Body Worlds. I do not believe they are in NYC right now, but check my source to see where they are and where they will be. Def check it out if you are in the area.

There are many students of English in Manhattan. It is a big place, but you will find schools that have english classes in The Voice, which is a free newspaper.  Also try visiting Baruch College on Lexington Ave and 25th Street.  Or Hunter College at Lexington and 68th.  These are just two of the many colleges/schools in NYC where you can get help with your English. Otherwise just hang out at Union Square(14th St.), most people that are also hanging out wouldn't mind a short conversation with you if you are kind and not interrupting them.

by the look of your avatar, you don't exactly like in the middle of kansas, miss nyc chick. you couldn't be in a better place to learn spanish, yet people on the post are telling you to take classes for a language spoken by the largest growing minority...... ummmmmm...... think about that. go stand on 125th street(that's pronounced "a hun-twunnie fiff stree" for non new yorkers) and see how quickly you will learn spanish. the point is, submerge yourself with spanish on purpose. lee las periodicas, y mira las noticias en la manana mientras esta haciendo desayuno, todo!! ya kno

Yiddish is, unfortunately, not one of the more commonly offered languages today (I wouldn't mind taking it either).\n\nI would try to contact a Jewish center or synagogue in your area - they might know of a place, or even offer lessons themselves.  A university might offer a course, but it's more unlikely.  If you don't want a formal classroom, per se, you could also try visiting a retirement home with Jewish members, and seeing if anyone there will be willing to teach you.  Good luck!
