Rating:  - A Very Dumbed-Down Way to the Alef-Bet
Don't buy this book. Better sources exist for FREE; search for:
1) ancient-hebrew dot org and you'll find a good site. on the left-hand side will be the menu; scroll down till you see "learn hebrew". "alphabet" and more is available--with audio files--for free.
2) "foundationstone" this is a free downloadable program that teaches hebrew.
3) "hebrew4christians" dot com and you'll have another good source.
These sites will not only teach you ... Read More
Rating:  - A Great Way to Learn
I received this book yesterday and went through the first few pages today. I was actually reading and speaking Hebrew - it was awesome!
The book is a soft-cover, workbook style that is not at all intimidating. The type is large and easy to read.
The only reason I'm not giving five stars is, as another reviewer has stated, the lack of a pronunciation guide. In order to tell if I'm using the correct pronunciation, I had to keep flipping back to the original lesson.

Rating:  - Excellent book for learning Hebrew
I think this is an excellent book for the beginning student. I already have a background in Hebrew and bought this for a friend to help him learn. The step by step guide that the book takes you thru is easy and before you know it you are reading simple words.

Fortunately I happen to know a couple of the prayers, and have Jewish friends who can help me with the others. But if you are approaching Hebrew from a more secular direction, and you don't know the common prayers by heart, ... Read More
Rating: - Easy and very user-friendly for the right type of student
I absolutely loved this book and it was perfect for me. I just want to add one thing. Know what TYPE of learner you are. Do you tend to remember things best when you HEAR them or when you READ them (or, perhaps, a combination)? I ask because most of us tend to be learn better one way or the other.
For those who learn from looking at words on a page, going over thing, taking time to read about the sounds and letter combinations, this book is among the best out there. For other people, I ... Read More
