Sound Bites > Israeli Dance Companies

The following audio interviews, conducted in Israel in 1999, were produced at the University of Texas at Austin by Esther Raizen and Liana Brooks as part of the Modern Hebrew Project. Technical support was provided by Mike Heidenreich from Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services.

The interviews are presented in segments for the sake of fast downloading. While designed for use in Hebrew language classes as supplementary materials for listening comprehension and conversation practice, they can provide research data for students and scholars of linguistics and sociolinguistics.

Note: Because of our emphasis on the listening comprehension skill, we do not provide parallel transcription or captioning.
