Making a living, caring for children or housework all cut down the time available for your interests. It’s simple to make utilize of the time you spend driving to get up to date on books you can’t get around to reading.

Gelb and Sarah Miller Caldicott can contribute more depth to your enjoyment of reading and often will mean a great deal more than the words on a page.

My Hebrew Learning Experiences over the Last 10 Years

by Neal Walters I first had interest in learning Hebrew in about 1990 when planning to go to Israel. Due to the Desert Storm and the Gulf War, the trip was postponed (I finally made it in 1996). So in the late 1980s, how does one go about learning Hebrew in the middle of Oklahoma? Via a language catalog (there was no internet then), I discovered the FSI courses. I had used FSI for Brazilian Portuguese, and thus ordered it for Hebrew. At least Portuguese used the same alphabet as English, but Hebrew required learning 22 new characters, and reading at first was very slow. Back then, the FSI course included a large book and about 24 cassette tapes (today, you can find the book in PDF and the tapes are often on MP3 files). The course was designed for instructor-lead classroom use, and was definitely not designed for home-study. To this day, I have never finished that course. Back then, Borders was building it’s first huge book stores in large cities. On a business trip, I visited one, and found a small selection of Hebrew books not normally found in other bookstores. The book that helped me master the alphabet was a “reader” that was full of practice exercises of reading short two to four letter syllables or words. Attending synagogue and learning some of the Hebrew prayers really accelerated my understanding of Hebrew. The music, along with the weekly repetition, clearly helps with the learning the words and phrases. Each week, I would pick a favorite tune, and go home and break down the words of that particular prayer. I used Menahem Mansoor’s “Biblical Hebrew: Step by Step” to get an introduction to Biblical Hebrew. A few years later, a friend taught Biblical Hebrew to a small group using Jacob Weingreen’s “A Practical Grammar for Classical Hebrew”. This is a very serious book, which we finished a couple of years later, doing one lesson every week or two. For Modern Hebrew, I remember using “Hugo Language Course: Hebrew in Three Months” and also Eliezar Tirkel’s “Every Hebrew”. Both came with a book and 3 or 4 cassettes. I like the Hugo course slightly better. Eventually, in 2005, I took two semesters of “online” modern Hebrew from college in Boston. We used the “Hebrew From Scratch” textbook, and met online with our professor once per week. In 2008, via the same school, I took “Introduction to Talmud” and began learning my first Aramaic. Unfortunately, I still can’t speak Hebrew as well as I would like. My journey is still continuing. By creating software, and teaching others, I continue to learn each and every day. Children and adults both learn Hebrew the fast and easy way with the multimedia Hebrew courses created by Neal Walters. You can see video demos of his courses at http://HebrewResources.com.
