One of the few Hebrew grammar books written with the student in mind rather than the scholar, A Modern Grammar for Classical Hebrew focuses on pedagogy for the minister who needs to learn Hebrew. This book does a rapid overview of the essentials of grammar and then gets into the original text as students learn new material and review previously learned material. This textbook is geared toward being easily used in the classroom and easily integrated into any teacher's teaching schedule.

This review is from: A Modern Grammar for Classical Hebrew (Paperback)
I like classical hebrew better than new hebrew because all the letters sound unique and there are fewer rules and exceptions. I don't think I paid that much for the book, so maybe you can locate a cheaper link. This book doesNot treat you like a child, goes deep into sounds, vowels, teaches many words, goes pretty far in general, and doesNot teach ugliness first. Numbers are not introduced until page 151 with a warning "The Hebrew number system is very complex". Words like man and woman which must be introduced early are clearly stated as being irregular and by the time they are introduced, you will know what it means toBe regular. I canNot speak well enough of this book.
