Superb, But
|

I learned Hebrew at university through the medium of Weingreen's Practical Grammar. As a reference book it is top notch. As a grammar exercise manual, however, it is unhelpful as it lacks a key. How is a student studying on their own to correct exercises? How indeed. Weingreen deliberately refrained from writing a key in order to keep lazy students out of temptation's way. But this is a drawback to learning a difficult language like Hebrew. Students must have access to correct answers if they are progress and not repeat errors. Perhaps Oxford University Press should be coaxed into producing a key. If not this superb primer will only be of limited use to beginners.

Oh, yes, you too can learn Hebrew.

This is a well put together book. Weingren steps you through the Hebrew language very nicely. This is my college text book and it's a great asset to the class. Sometimes he gives you even a little more than you need to know, but over all a great book.
