אני אוהבת שיעורים כאלה, כי לא רק שאנחנו לומדות מילים חדשות, אלא שאנחנו גם משתמשות בהן מיד.

Because the speaker is female.

In Hebrew, the verb in the present tense agrees with the gender of the subject:

• אני אוהב = I love / like (said by a male)
• אני אוהבת = I love / like (said by a female)

So אני אוהבת שיעורים כאלה means I like lessons like that / such lessons, said by a woman or girl.

Because the speaker first talks about herself alone, and then about us as a group.

• אני אוהבת = I like → singular, feminine
• שאנחנו לומדות = that we are learning → plural, feminine
• שאנחנו גם משתמשות = that we also use → plural, feminine

So the sentence shifts from I to we:

• I like such lessons
• because we not only learn new words, but also use them right away

This usually suggests the speaker is part of a female group, such as an all-female class.

In Hebrew, words like כזה / כזאת / כאלה often come after the noun.

So:

• שיעורים כאלה = such lessons / lessons like these
• literally: lessons such

This is a very natural Hebrew structure. English usually puts such before the noun, but Hebrew often puts כאלה after it.

It means because not only ... but ...

In this sentence:

• כי = because
• לא רק = not only
• אלא = but rather / but

So:

• כי לא רק שאנחנו לומדות מילים חדשות, אלא שאנחנו גם משתמשות בהן מיד = because we not only learn new words, but we also use them immediately

A very close English pattern is:

• not only ... but also ...

Hebrew often uses:

• לא רק ... אלא גם ...

Even though here the גם appears inside the second clause:

• אלא שאנחנו גם משתמשות...

שאנחנו is ש + אנחנו.

• ש is a very common Hebrew particle meaning that
• אנחנו = we
• so שאנחנו = that we

In this sentence, Hebrew naturally says:

• לא רק שאנחנו... אלא שאנחנו...
• literally: not only that we..., but that we...

This ש is extremely common in everyday Hebrew and often introduces a clause. In English, we usually would not translate it literally every time.

In this sentence, it is the most natural choice.

You may sometimes see more formal or literary Hebrew with less use of ש, but in normal modern Hebrew, especially in structures like this, לא רק שאנחנו... אלא שאנחנו... sounds very natural.

So for learners, it is best to understand this as a standard pattern rather than trying to remove the ש.

Because both words are feminine plural.

• מילה = word (feminine singular)
• מילים = words (plural)
• חדשה = new (feminine singular)
• חדשות = new (feminine plural)

So:

• מילים חדשות = new words

Hebrew adjectives must agree with the noun in:

• gender
• number
• definiteness

Here, both are plural, and the adjective matches the noun.

Because בהן means in them or, with certain verbs, simply them, for a feminine plural noun.

The verb להשתמש ב־ means to use, but it always takes the preposition ב־ (in / with / by, depending on context). So Hebrew says:

• להשתמש במשהו = to use something
• literally closer to: to make use of something

Since מילים is feminine plural, the pronoun must also be feminine plural:

• בהן = in them / them for feminine plural
• בהם would be masculine plural

So:

• משתמשות בהן = use them
• literally: make use of them

Because the verb להשתמש does not take a direct object; it takes ב־.

Compare:

• אני רואה אותן = I see them
  Here אותן is a direct object.

But:

• אני משתמשת בהן = I use them
  because להשתמש requires ב־

So אותן would not be correct with משתמשות.

גם means also / too.

In the phrase:

• אלא שאנחנו גם משתמשות בהן מיד = but we also use them immediately

It adds the second idea:

• we not only learn new words
• we also use them right away

Its placement before the verb is very natural in Hebrew.

מיד means immediately / right away.

So:

• משתמשות בהן מיד = use them immediately

Putting מיד at the end is very natural and common in Hebrew. It highlights the idea that the words are used without delay.

Hebrew word order is often flexible, but this placement sounds smooth and ordinary.

It can mean either, depending on context.

• אני אוהבת שיעורים כאלה could be translated as:
  • I love lessons like these
  • I like lessons like these

In English, like often sounds more natural for classes or lessons, even though Hebrew uses אוהב / אוהבת very commonly in places where English might prefer like.

So the best translation here is usually:

• I like lessons like these

They are feminine because the speaker is including herself in a female group.

So we get:

• לומדות
• משתמשות

If the group were masculine or mixed-gender, Hebrew would normally use the masculine plural:

• לומדים
• משתמשים

This is an important point in Hebrew: plural verb forms usually show gender.

Not very naturally. A more literal breakdown would be:

• אני אוהבת שיעורים כאלה = I like lessons such
• כי = because
• לא רק שאנחנו לומדות מילים חדשות = not only that we learn new words
• אלא שאנחנו גם משתמשות בהן מיד = but that we also use them immediately

A natural English translation is:

• I like lessons like these, because we not only learn new words, but also use them right away.

That is usually the best way to understand the whole sentence.
