4.0 out of 5 stars Lives up to expectations, August 6, 2005
By J. Plunk (Ellerslie, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book because I grew frustrated with Haiim Rosen's "A Textbook of Israeli Hebrew". This is more like a typical language textbook. This book does use vowels, the lack of which is part of what I didn't like about the Rosen book. It has a good number of translation and reading exercises, which is what I look for because I find that it makes me retain the vocabulary. No complaints so far. The vocabulary, at least at first, does contain a number of words one would only use in school, but that seems to be pretty typical of textbooks. By far, the vocabulary is useful right from the beginning. Unless you are looking for something specialized, you will probably be happy with this book. I am.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Pace, October 20, 1999
By A Customer
I chose this book as my textbook for my online Hebrew class at http://HebrewResources.com. The book is great, with one exception: there are few exercises. In other words it is not a workbook. Each chapter is 3 or 4 pages long, and there are 75 chapters. Each chapter introduces about 20 new vocabulary words. Several universities use this book as a textbook, and cover approximately 20 chapters for a first semester Hebrew courses. Thus, if you study one chapter per week, this book can carry you through 75 weeks of study, which is a great bargain!!! This book is modern Hebrew, not Biblicial (although there is a lot of overlap between the two). The book is not primarily a "conversational Hebrew" course. It does contain many elements of conversational as used in modern Hebrew; but it does NOT teach a lot of phrases like "Hello, how are you", "Where is the bathroom", and that kind of thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very usable self-study book, August 23, 2006
By Brian Beckman (Renton, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I compared this to "Hebrew: A Language Course" by Bella Bergman, et al. in 3 volumes, and finally decided to work through both of them concurrently to teach myself modern Hebrew. The approach is different, but the staging and phasing is similar. Ha-Yesod is a more traditional and formal book, perfect for those who have taught themselves other languages and thus find it helpful to learn formal grammar along with vocabulary and idiom. Bergman, et al.'s book is more "fun," reinforcing the information with cartoons, crosswords, and quizzes. Both are full of bidirectional translation exercises. The vocabulary and grammar coverage is surprisingly similar, so by using both books together, I get cross reinforcement and faster results. However, either approach by itself is completely workable.
