This book was purchased used and missing the CD, which put me at a disadvantage since the thrust of this book puts an emphasis on SPEAKING Hebrew, and not READING Hebrew at all. In fact, very little of the book contains any Hebrew lettering or text, so if you are looking to be able to read or decipher written Hebrew, this book may not be a good choice.

Anyone wanting a solid introduction to everyday Hebrew with the addition of learning several prayers and customs would enjoy this book. A friend is a member of a Messianic Jewish congregation and they do just about everything in Hebrew...so I was lost as to what was going on when I attended their church. Now I have a better understanding and can even participate in their services and know what is being said and done! This book is well suited if you want to learn how to speak and converse in Hebrew, but not what you would want to use if you were wanting something for in depth Bible study. Also, the seller had an excellent rating and provided quick and courteous service. The writers use good humor throughout the book and treat you with respect for wanting to learn some Hebrew. I have used "Dummies' books before and this one definitely follows their successful formula for informing you on several levels and maintaining your interest. A good book to have and use if you are headed to Jerusalem!Read full review
Hebrew is made easy with this book. I wish I'd had this book earlier. I've tried other methods, this is r e a l l y easy to follow. My problem with other language teaching books has been lack of step by step instructions. So glad I found it!!!
I am new to learning Hebrew, and have just started reading this book and have found it to be well written and "up beat" so far. I think Ms.Jacobs has done a tremendous job, and her efforts are much appreciated.
