Course Overview
The FASTEST way to learn how to READ Hebrew from SCRATCH.
This course is intended for English speakers with no prior knowledge in Hebrew
who would like to be able to read Hebrew texts with vowels very quickly.
In less than an hour you will be able to:
1) Identify all the characters in the Hebrew alphabet
2) Identify and use the 14 most common Hebrew vowels
3) Read Hebrew texts such as the Bible, books and newspapers
This is a basic reading course which covers the main rules and allows you to start reading very quickly.
It does NOT cover the many exceptions and esoteric vowels which are rarely used.
Each lesson contains:
1) A 10 minute long video lecture
2) A handout with a visual summary of all the new letters and vowels
3) A quiz to allow you to assess your new knowledge
Good luck!
Yoav.

I think this is a great course!! The graphics are great and the explanations are very understandable. I recommend this course.

The instructor doesn´t give the name of the individual letters and he doesn´t teach the letters in alphabetical order. For me, the course would be more helpful if he were to do that. Thank you.

Very good way to learn the letters, just the examplar ( ex. a golden zipper , a smoke ? ) you gave to make us remember the letters is rather distracting & annoying, you might conceder replacing them. Best regards.

I cannot recommend this course highly enough for anyone seeking to learn hebrew language. The unique approach taken by the author is simply out of this world. Having spent hours and money on other courses that emphasise cramming alphabets and words (frustrating and to no avail 😞), this course was a breath of fresh air. The emphasis was not about cramming stuff but understanding the structure that underpins every hebrew word. Firstly, the author lets you know that even though the course content is one hour long - you are not expected to go through the whole course in one sitting - he urges that a lesson be taken a day. I found this advice golden. You are only introduced to a manageable number of alphabets and vowels at a time - this builds your confidence and you are looking forward to consuming the next lesson the following day. Finally, the foundation that this course provides is essential for learning more advanced lessons. If ever a ‘free lunch’, this is it. 6 Stars for me.
