Great way to learn the basics

This was the required text for a Hebrew class I am taking. I found the book easy to understand and use. Each chapter is summarized with a list of "shortcuts" that are very helpful in understanding the basics of Hebrew. The only negative is that the enphasis is on mechanics. Much of why things are as they are in Hebrew is becuase of how it is spoken. That perspective had to be added by my professor. I'm not planning to become a Hebrew scholar, but would like to understand what I am reading when I use a Lexicon or other tool. This book is excellent for someone who wants that kind of understanding.

Wonderful!

This is the best book for beginners of Biblical Hebrew language. I highly recommend it.
