5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding introduction to prayerbook hebrew., September 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Prayerbook Hebrew the Easy Way (Paperback)
This book is highly recommended for anyone who wishes to gain greater understanding of the Hebrew Prayerbook. This book only assumes that one can pronounce the hebrew letters and all vocabulary is built up step by step. One of the interesting features of this book is the use of actual prayers presented phrase by phrase so a complete understanding of Adon Olam, Ein Kelohanu, Shema, and the Aleinu is possible. This book is for BEGINNERS and is a very useful introduction to Biblical Hebrew.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Easy-to-Learn Hebrew Manual, July 12, 2000
This review is from: Prayerbook Hebrew the Easy Way (Paperback)
This book does not require any complicated grammatical prerequisites. You don't have to have headache to cram up the declension and the conjugation of the nouns and verbs. If you just follow the lessons, you will soon be accustomed to the practical Hebrew liturgy. This is a well designed excellent manual for learning Hebrew for the beginners.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book is good; tapes could be better, January 22, 2001
By 
I bought both the book and the accompanying tapes.

The book introduces no more than 10 vocabulary words, a grammatical concept, and reading from a prayer. By the time you're finished, you understand basic constructs of Hebrew thought, and several important prayers, including the Sh'ma, the Aleinu, and V'ahavtah.

It presupposes only that you know basic Hebrew pronunciation of the alefbet and vowels.

I really like the book, but I'm disappointed with the tapes, which I would have preferred to have been read by an Israeli speaker. Still, I may be too picky on this aspect, since it's designed to help you with prayer, and not with getting along in Israel. One thing that might help is if the tapes separated the grammar lessons from the prayers. I would be willing to listen to a tape of prayers in the car, just so I could get an idea how they sound, especially if the prayers were chanted.
