Review: Baruch Hashem! - I just started studying this book today (Sunday, May 29, 2016)and I'm on chapter five already, which is a little over halfway through the alphabet. Thus far this book has made learning Hebrew far easier than I ever imagined by building on the aleph bet a few letters at a time. I will try to remember to update my review as I finish to give a full account of my learning experience. Thus far I'm extremely happy and very excited to be one step closer to learning a new language. THANK YOU! UPDATE, MAY 31, 2016: I finished this book last night and was able to transliterate the Kaddish prayer included at the end with almost no effort. If you want to learn how to read and pronounce Hebrew I cannot recommend this book enough! It does not teach any grammar beyond explaining why some of the marks are not pronounced because they are for grammatical purposes and not pronunciation. Though it is not a dictionary, it also teaches some popular words in Hebrew, such as camel, succot, shabbat, etc. It is very much worth the time, money and effort to use this book. The lessons build on each other as you learn, and do so well. I am purchasing these for other people to learn or refresh their own ability to read/speak this beautifully powerful language. Note : I devoted the majority of my time over two days learning this, which may not be feasible for people who do not have as much free time to devote to study as I do, so others may not necessarily be able to accomplish learning it that quickly, but I had a competition within myself to see if I could, as someone who was unable to read any Hebrew at all, learn to read it within 24-48 hours, and I did. Anyone else who is attentive, patient and diligent should be able to get through this book quickly.
Review: Learning to read and write Hebrew fast! - Amazing little book! Barely half-way through, I was able to read and pronounce real Hebrew words! Of course, the language vocabulary in itself has to be learned separately. But this is a real start at learning to read and write Hebrew. The book is beautifully done and easy to follow. At later times, I would find out that the actual pronunciation of some words were different than how I had thought them to sound while learning them - the point being though, I was now able to make real sense of real letters or words and also to read and write them out! In times past, I used to look at the Hebrew alphabets in despair, wondering how and if I was ever going to understand the language. If I had a word which I wanted to learn presented somewhere, I used to try hard to memorize the "pictures" the word makes, to be able to recognize it later on - and was almost convinced anyone who could actually read the letters of that or any Hebrew word must have been endowed with very extraordinary and special abilities! After just some chapters in this book, I could already discern various word settings and my overall feel for the language was greatly improved. As presented in this very neat book, I believe anyone can be up and running much more steadily in a short period of time. For someone just beginning to learn Hebrew, I most highly recommend it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful, but a word to those who are studying without a teacher
*by E***S on November 22, 2015*

This is an excellent book for self-study--the best I've seen. The instructions are clear and there is a lot of practice material. Each lesson includes material which has been covered, thus reinforcing learning. Printing the Hebrew characters is a part of this book. Exercises help fix the letters and words in your mind. Vocabulary contains prayers from the siddur (prayer book) There are answer keys in the back. The back cover unfolds to reveal a chart of all 22 letters (all of which are consonants), including final forms for the five letters that have them. Both print and cursive forms for each letter are shown. Vowel points are also a part of the chart. The last page of the book states that after finishing all the lessons, you can read any prayer in the siddur. It suggests other books that will further your study, e.g., prayer book Hebrew or Biblical Hebrew. Though the publisher doesn't have modern Hebrew, the page states that after completing this book, you are ready for Modern Hebrew; and that books can be obtained from other booksellers. However, I am disappointed. The book mentions accompanying tapes to ensure proper pronunciation. I checked, but the tapes are not available on the EKS web site BUT, what is available is another copy of this book with 3 accompanying CD's. If I'd known this before I ordered, I would have spent my money more wisely. I assumed that Amazon would have the latest edition.
