3.0 out of 5 stars Fine if you don't want an authentic accent, January 26, 2005

This review is from: Teach Me Hebrew (Paperback and Audio CD): A Musical Journey Through the Day (Audio CD)

I've searched unsuccessfully to find Hebrew materials suitable for my young children to assist me in teaching them the language, and I was very excited when I came upon this item. The concept of translating familiar songs is nice, but the execution loses a lot in my eyes (or ears, actually) because they didn't bother to get speakers with native Israeli accents. It doesn't seem like it would have taken a whole lot of effort to do this and the product would have been infinitely better. If you don't mind your kids learning Hebrew with a very strong American accent, this is a good choice. Otherwise you (and I) will have to keep looking. I haven't listened to other languages in this series so I don't know if they are similarly American-accented or not.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Try, but . . ., February 17, 2009

This review is from: Teach Me Hebrew (Paperback and Audio CD): A Musical Journey Through the Day (Audio CD)

I like the idea of putting common English songs into Hebrew, but I found the execution lacking. The vocals are not of good tonal quality. I don't want my children to grow up singing like the voices on this tape. Also I found it out that the transliterations in the book are different than those of the cd. It seems that there should be more uniformity than this.
