...wants to improve her Hebrew... interested mostly in improving 
reading - but
I figure speaking the language can't hurt

Hadassah has a program which sounds rather cute:
http://www.hadassah.org/pageframe.asp?page=ivrit%2Ehtmlsection=educationheader=Ivritsize=60

This is what the web page has to say:
If there isn't an Ivrit la Hadassah group on your level in your 
community, you can be involved in starting one: Women with a strong 
Hebrew background are encouraged to become teachers. With the Ivrit 
la Hadassah method, you don't need professional teaching experience 
to give the gift of Hebrew literacy.
For more information, contact heb...@hadassah.org

Happy secular new year to one and all!

[ha-Safran]: Improving on beginner's Hebrew

[Nancy Poole]

L'shalom, safranim

I figure out there is someone who is able to provide advice for an 
adult student (namely me) who wants to improve her Hebrew. I can read 
script (Biblical) - but do not speak it.  I will have folks to speak 
with around here, and am interested mostly in improving reading - but 
I figure speaking the language can't hurt...I recently did my first 
Torah reading and loved it.

Is it better to study in a US intensive class - eg something like 
Brandeis or Middlebury or others? do ? or better to find an ulpan and 
spend a month or two in Israel (obviously - I don't think I'm going 
to become fluent overnight.) No - can't leave and just spend a year 
in Israel...wish I could! (Unless you know of an incredible 
fellowship program)

Todah rabah
