A comprehensive step-by-step textbook teaching modern Hebrew
language and grammar, geared especially to the needs of the
English speaking student. Possible difficulties in understanding
are anticipated and clarified in advance through careful
explanations of Hebrew grammar, sentence structure, and modern
usage. The readings are taken from a vast range of Hebrew
literature-ancient, medieval, and modern-and recast in language
that fully illustrates the grammar, idioms, and vocabulary of
the particular lesson, in addition to reviewing what was learned
in previous lessons. Excercises are geared toward strengthening
the students' abilities to compose correct Hebrew sentences as
well as reinforcing their vocabulary and grammar. This textbook,
now revised and augmented, has been adopted by many universities
and other schools. It is also recommended to anyone who wishes
to teach himself.
