Hebrew Learning Software

The industry standard language-learning software is, and has been for some time, Rosetta Stone. Their "immersion" approach to language - which guides you through progressing levels of linguistic complexity sans translation, relying on you, the user, to pick up cues from photos and audio samples to identify the scenario - lays claim to being the best way to comprehensively and rapidly acquire a new language. Rosetta Stone works; I know because I've used it and I have friends who have used it with great success. The only downside to Rosetta Stone is the several-hundred-dollar price tag. For all three levels of Hebrew (their language courses all develop over three levels - beginning, intermediate, and advanced) the price tag exceeds $500. The price points are similar for their other language courses.

Hebrew Exam 1 Review

Click Language in the menu to the left, then Hebrew/עברית from the menu and select Hebrew 1 Test Review from the list of articles.

Don't forget to check out the new notes, which include all sorts of fun new info. Coming soon: an article on secondary openings and on the mappiq he (מפיק הּּ).
