Perfect for English people!
Va bene, non è che per gli Italiani sia un brutto libro, anzi!
Molti concetti sullo sheva che non si capivano sulle grammatiche li ho trovati in questa sede alquanto cristallini! È un ottimo libro per imparare l'alfabeto ebraico, però bisogna stare attenti ad alcuni esempi che, in quanto riportati in lingua inglese, potrebbero condurre in fallo uno studente italiano.
Per il resto, libro perfetto e molto utile! -ci sono anche gli esercizi!- :) Perfect for English people!

This is super helpful. If you have the time to go through the exercises, you volition begin to get the hang of information technology. I did supplement with a spider web site (shameless plug... doitinhebrew.com) to help me with pronunciation and to validate what I thought a word sounded like. I am very happy with this book.

I have gone through several books for education starting time Hebrew, This one has been the best and so far.

Here are some of my reasons:

ane) the author takes the students through the alphabet consecutively rather than randomly. 2) there is a strong emphasis on learning how to write block letters. I wish the cursive letters were included. 3) the Hebrew used is prayer book focused rather than Scripture based.

I have gone through several books for teaching get-go Hebrew, This one has been the all-time and so far.

Hither are some of my reasons:

1) the writer takes the students through the alphabet consecutively rather than randomly. 2) there is a potent emphasis on learning how to write block letters. I wish the cursive letters were included. iii) the Hebrew used is prayer volume focused rather than Scripture based. I was non too pleased that nothing from the Tenach was no,used other than biblical words, only not passages. At the terminate of the book, the student is asked to read the Kaddish which is not Hebrew but Aramaic(very shut to reading Biblical Hebrew). 4) the last chapter focuses on reading long Hebrew words. Other Hebrew primers only provide two or iii syllable words.

Then far I would recommend this Hebrew primer over annihilation else I read. Once again, I am assuming the pupil has no exposure to Hebrew and wants to jump in feet offset from correct to left.

No grammar, but a good and short introduction to reading and pronouncing Hebrew words that's more intuitive than the technical language yous go at the get-go of a Hebrew textbook.

I actually loved and enjoyed it. Yep it does have a few things i wish they could go deeper virtually. For example theres like 2 things that they didnt explain could be said differently only i see how it is put to a way that a beghiner understands and it doesnt matter if they didnt expalin 2 things because yous will learn or can later in a more than advance volume. This fashion i guess it did help me because i understood intermidiate lessons pretty skillful; so knowing this brand me similar how this book is written. Manus I actually loved and enjoyed it.

This is a skillful bones review of the pronunciation of Hebrew consonants and vowels. It is very bones and for beginners, just still a skillful review.

I used this volume with the Audio book and together they were so helpful to me as an absolute beginner. I tin now pronounce Hebrew (every bit long as the text uses vowels) and this was a nifty first stride in learning to read Hebrew!

Very good primer to get i started in reading Hebrew. This made information technology piece of cake for me to sometime the sounds of words and letters I saw while in Israel a couple weeks dorsum. My only complaint is that it lacks English language phonetic transliterations in the text (I go on having to refer to the back flap).
