Hebrew for Dummies PB £17.50 |
||||||
| One of the most amazing things about Hebrew is that, in less than a century, it has gone from an ancient language of prayer and ritual spoken by a few holy men to a modern language of sunbathing, dining, going to the movies, and countless other everyday activities, spoken by millions. Modern Hebrew is a beautiful language, but for a native English speaker it can be tough wrapping your tongue around exotic expressions. Like any language, the quickest way to master Hebrew basics is to immerse yourself in its sounds and rhythms.

Modern Hebrew |

This is an introduction to reading, writing and speaking Modern Hebrew which uses a book/CD combination. It is suitable for a complete beginner or for someone who has some rusty Hebrew. The book covers all the language and situations needed for a trip to Israel, whether on business or pleasure. The course is very communication-centred and the emphasis throughout is on speaking and being understood in practical everyday situations. New grammar is presented through dialogues and there is plenty of opportunity to practise and check understanding throughout. The Hebrew Script is introduced right from the start with transliteration for the early units, to help with reading and pronunciation. |
