FAQ
What to know
What is Milo?
Milo is an iPhone app for people who already read Hebrew and want to deepen their Modern Hebrew vocabulary. It presents a few words at a time with full nikud, a root (shoresh), binyan when relevant, a Hebrew definition, an English translation, and example sentences. Milo is a vocabulary tool, not a beginner course or conversation tutor.
How is Milo different from Duolingo Hebrew?
Duolingo offers a structured course that starts with the basics. Milo starts later: it assumes you can already read Hebrew and focuses on individual words, their structure, and their use in context. The two can complement each other; Milo does not replace a complete language course.
Do I need to know Hebrew already to use Milo?
Yes. You should be able to read the Hebrew alphabet, understand simple sentences, and recognize everyday words. If you're starting from zero, a beginner course or ulpan is a better first step. Milo is designed for the stage after that.
How are words selected for me?
During onboarding, you choose a level and complete a ten-word recognition check. Milo then uses that result and your Got It or Again feedback to adapt what it shows next. The aim is to keep the feed close to your level while continuing to introduce unfamiliar words.
Does Milo show vowels (nikud) for every word?
Yes. Every headword in Milo has full nikud. It helps you read the pronunciation and see the structure of the word more clearly.
How often will I get notifications?
You choose from one to six words per day. The default is three, delivered during the schedule you set. If you miss a notification, the word remains available in the app. Milo has no streak requirement.
Is Milo available now, and how much will it cost?
Yes. Milo is now available to download on the App Store. Current pricing and purchase details are shown on its App Store page.
Does Milo teach Modern Hebrew or Biblical Hebrew?
Milo focuses on Modern Hebrew vocabulary used in contemporary life, study, and work. It is not a Biblical Hebrew course and does not teach Biblical grammar or text interpretation.
Can I use Milo to prepare for ulpan, bagrut, or psychometry?
Milo can support preparation by helping you encounter and review more Hebrew vocabulary. It does not replace an ulpan, teacher, textbook, or exam-specific course, and it does not claim to cover an official exam word list.
