<p>I'm an incoming freshman at UCLA and as of now I'm a Jewish studies Major...I was wondering if anyone graduated with that major or is currently in that major. </p>
<p>I researched it and it said that I have to take a year of hebrew language...I wanted to know if the language classes are hard for someone who does not know anything in hebrew..like the Hebrew 102a-c classes.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>

<p>Are you Jewish? Are you a guy or lady?</p>
<p>I’d warn you that JS classes are not at all about real Judaism–they’re merely interested in Judaism “as a culture.” You will be seriously misled in them. </p>
<p>Also, as you probably know already, the “hebrew” that is taught here is MH, not lashon kodesh. (unless a course specifically says otherwise.) And if it matters to you, they only use the sephardi pronunciation.</p>
<p>In other words, change your major!</p>
<p>Private Message me if you want to learn about Jewish life here. Official classes are not the way to learn Judaism here, but I can tell you how. (I’m a second year engineering major, becoming BT.)</p>
<p>so yeah, PM me.</p>
