I felt ...


Pretty good   January 7, 2003

Seems pretty good, especially in a group/class setting. I'm a student of language, though, and it doesn't explain much of the grammar in this book, preferring to use phrases, and I assume that the grammar comes from somewhere else (a teacher?). I would have preferred a verb conjugation chart, and more grammar. Perhaps a separate book just for vocab vs. grammar.


The most useful course I've found   July 9, 2002

I'm currently taking Intensive Modern Hebrew from a professor that helped Esther Raizen develop this course (he created the video clips). This skinney book is packed with information and very well laid-out. The examples are great and the concepts are sequentially introduced. Each new concept is throughly covered, and all the essential grammer and technicalities are thoroughly explained. I highly recommend this book. The only downside is that they are still working on getting the computer side of things working. The site gets more accessible daily, and will be great when it's working properly, but the computer side of things is not necessary for using this book.
