Good Book, Bad Small Print

I have to agree with the majority of reviewers here. The book leaves a lot to be desired. I don't have a problem with the concept and structure of the book, but I do have a problem with the ridiculously small print; especially with the vowel signs. I had to use a magnifying glass to tell them...

One of the worst language courses available

I can only agree with most other reviewers here, the book is awful. In recent years, the Teach Yourself series has expanded and published courses in many new languages. That's great... were it not for the fact that this expansion has resulted in a drastic decline in quality, at least for some...

A truly AWFUL introduction to Hebrew

Don't waste your time with this one. It's a horrendous step down from the usual quality of the Teach Yourself series. I'm at a loss to see how anyone other than a shill can find anything in this book to compliment. If you come to this book with zero knowledge I doubt you'll leave with much...

A Travel Guide to Israel?

'Teach Yourself Modern Hebrew' is one of the worst texts I have seen for learning Hebrew. The book struck me more as a travel guide than a Hebrew language text, a terrible one at that. The author describes locations and points of interest in Israel in much more detail than any grammatical...

The cds are excellent, the material in the book is good, however, the Hebrew letters are too small to even try to read or write. Plus the font used for the Hebrew causes one to wonder if it is even Hebrew. Unless you like using magnifying glasses and know enough Hebrew to figure out what the...

Not so bad at all....

I totally disagree with the first reviewer; but rather than write a completely new review, I'm going to simply address that review point by point:First, about accents not being indicated, I think any serious language learner should ALWAYS buy the recordings if he wants to have any chance of...

The other reviewer is right on the money

Besides heartily seconding everything Makarov9 has said, I might also suggest "Colloquial Hebrew" as an alternative written resource (I haven't heard the accompanying audio) as it has basically everything that the Teach Yourself book is lacking, & also the Pimsleur audio-only course, which unlike...

TERRIBLE BOOK

as a long time reader of Teach Yourself series in several langs. I am amazed at how low they have sunk in quality. this latest one in Hebrew is awful. there is no indication of accent marks(you have to buy tapes), the book tries to be a travel book + language, but succeeds at neither, no...
