Modern Hebrew for Beginners Reviews

This new introductory textbook is far-and-away the most interesting, innovative, and promising development in Hebrew education that I have seen... Its strength lies in its integration of multiple modes of presenting Hebrew to the learner... This variety in modes of presentation helps teach students the range of communicative skills they would need to function in everyday life in Hebrew. -Daniel Lefkowitz, Assistant Professor of Asian and Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures, University of Virginia
