Not very useful:
I own several books on learning Hebrew - and I didn't find this one very helpful (read: waste of money). If you want to really learn the language well and quickly, try ALEPH ISN'T TOUGH, by Linda Motzkin. It is in workbook format, will teach you how to write cursive AND script, and uses biblical phrases to teach the language. The book also offers and excellent chart on all of the letters (both cursive and script), as well as vowels - well worth keeping long after you complete the book for later reference.... more info
Hebrew in 10 minutes a day:
The Kershul method of learning is a great way to learn a new language. I took this method of language learning to help me learn Russian well over twenty years ago and I still remember much of the course curriculum. I would recommend this method of learning as a supplement to actual immersion training for everyone.
Fun book!:
I really enjoyed working my way through this book. It was a lot of fun, and a good start for someone familiar with the Hebrew Aleph-Bet ( say from Hebrew school ), but otherwise starting from the beginning...especially if planning a trip to Israel! Only serves as an introduction in terms of verbs.
Hebrew in ten minutes:
The book is great. It is helping me to learn the language in a fun manner and it is relatively simple to understand.
