Renyi Picture Dictionary Hebrew By P. Renyi
Hebrew: A Language Course By Ora Band Level One Level Two Level Three	This three-volume course is the ideal Hebrew program for English-speaking high school, college, and adult education students. The only entry requirement is the ability to recognize Hebrew letters and to read basic words. This course requires only one or two hours of class time each week. Features include: Varied reading selections that range from contemporary stories to Hasidic tales, midrashim, and biblical narratives Lessons that train students to read confidently both with and without vowels Grammatical concepts explored through comparison to English structure Description from Publisher I used this book when I was a kid and thought that it was the best Hebrew book that I had. I am now using it to teach my own students. It is a very great book because it does not assume that you have outside knowledge. The texts build on each other like you would hope that a language text would. The series is aimed at adults however I would recommend it for any age group. This book assumes that students aren't in an ulpan or other immersive environment, which is good because I'm not and most American students aren't. It takes it slowly with lots of exercises. The other thing I really like about this series is that it uses examples from Jewish culture, the Bible and other Jewish writings. It goes beyond teaching language to teach culture. Ora Band and Bella Bergman have shattered the rules of Hebrew instruction with this ground breaking work. The "Shelabim," in the vernacular, works with all sides of the brain to ensure total absorption of grammar, language and usage. One can use this text for young and older adults, teens and younger kids with equal ease. Students will come away from this work really having learned something. I used this text on a college level, and the students learned a great deal without feeling they had overly exerted themselves. I was Bar Mitzvah 37 years ago and had not studied since then. I wanted to be able to speak Hebrew, and to understand the Siddur. Studying with a tutor and using this book was a terrific start. It is entertaining and warm. While you learn, the stories in each unit will heighten your mood. Then you can go ahead to Level 2, and it get's better. I doubt that there is any better way to learn Hebrew for one who vaguely remembered the aleph-bet. Descriptions from Amazon.com Customer Reviews
