Product Description:
Colloquial Hebrew aims to teach Hebrew as it is spoken and written today, giving you a level of competence to be able to travel around and engage in conversation on a range of topics as well as being able to read signs, menus, posters and other basic written texts. Each unit contains dialogues of everyday encounters and situations which can be performed in the exercises which follow. The Hebrew alphabet is introduced from Unit 1, but all dialogues are given in Romanized form alongside the script until the final stages of the book.

Wang's book is good for several reasons: it starts off assuming you know absolutely nothing and progresses from there. She starts you off with the alphabet (and not just the block letters, but the script). ... Read More
Rating: - Extremely helpful...
I started with 'Living Israeli Hebrew For the Very Beginner' and it proved an invaluable foundation for both speaking and reading...you do have to know your aleph-bet visually and aurally. I have done 'Pimsleur I' and it was a great start on pronunciation and conversational style. 'Hebrew in 10 Minutes a Day' is modestly helpful, mainly for the stickers... and now I have a live personal tutor whose idea of rapid immersion makes me empathize with the Salem witches... but the one thing that has allowed ...

Rating: - Great
One of the best books of this series. It's definetely worthy. I learnt a lot from it. Of course it can only teach you till a basic-intermediate level. Then you could go on with a tutor or "A reference grammar of modern Hebrew"
