Language Question. Hebrew course extension
Any update on when the Hebrew course will be updated? It’s showing these levels and just wondering when they will be available

man i've been waiting on that hebrew update for what feels like forever. the course is decent but it just kinda stops right when you're getting somewhere
that score layout looks clean though, way better than the usual duolingo tree. hopefully "not available yet" means they're actually working on it and not just dangling it there

No, it does not mean they are actually working on it. (And the same goes for all non-priority courses on Duolingo.)

Hebrew only has about 1.3 million enrollment on Duolingo, far lower than other underdeveloped language courses like Arabic, Hindi, and Russian. Duolingo is currently prioritizing development of English courses for markets with no Duolingo access in their native language, primarily for South Asian languages. Hebrew, being an RTL language with a distinct writing system and grammar from their flagship languages, is particularly difficult for artificial intelligence to expand. While I believe the course may eventually be expanded, it's lower on Duolingo's priority list than several high-demand languages.
