Summary: The best adult introduction to the Aleph-bet I've found.
Comment: This is, without doubt, the best introduction to the aleph-bet that I've encountered. I am a 40+ year old Jew-by-choice, and I wanted to learn Hebrew, but live in an area where such courses are difficult to find. I had tried repeatedly with other standard texts but, without a teacher or course to guide me, I was finding it slow going. I encountered this book as I was struggling to read the basic Hebrew prayers and blessings. Less than a month of study later, I could at least pronounce the prayers passably and I had acquired the entire aleph-bet and vowel points. It helped to turn what initially appeared to be an impossible task for a rapidly calcifying brain into a smooth introduction to Hebrew writing and pronounciation.

Summary: A good foundational Alef-bet tool
Comment: This book is good in that it teaches consonants and vowel points simultaneously. Instead of teaching the letters alphabetically, it teaches them as they appear in several brachot, first the blessing over wine and then the blessing over candles. So, you're learning to read by reading written Hebrew. You're learning nikkudot at the same time you learn the alef bet, so you can pronounce anything in the siddur by the time you're finished. As a plus, it also instructs you on how to pronounce the Name when reading a prayer. We've been using this with a class of adults for several years and now even those who didn't have a Hebrew education as children can read from the siddur. This book is not meant to teach vocabulary or grammar.
Rating: 2
Summary: Not Helpful At All
Comment: I'm a bit bewildered that this book has been highly rated by many readers. It left me absolutely flat. Aside from a reasonably good explanation of the vowels, I felt helpless with this book. The author's approach toward learning a language completely failed to connect with me. I was expecting to be led by the hand, and instead felt abandoned. I consider it a waste of money.
