Thank you so much, shapd! doitinhebrew.com is excellent. It seems to be accessing the morfix.co.il dictionary for
pronunciations, so one could just use that, but it's also a great help to have the two translators, the frequency, and the thesaurus alongside. The "niqqudizing" output looks like this: סִינַי Sinai peninsula סִינִי Chinese (person) It's easy to use context to figure out which meaning is intended, and now I know one is sinay and the other is sini. Unfortunately it doesn't handle all verb conjugations, but I'll check out Dictbox. Still an upgrade over Google Translate. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Rav Milim is your best option for this. There is also a website called Teach Me Hebrew that gives you a lot of what you're talking about. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Rav Milim looks excellent, I only wish there were a good alternative that didn't cost $99 per year. Seems a little
steep. Teach Me Hebrew seems quite good as well, but my problem with these small-scale websites is they simply don't have enough content. I'll go through the 15 dialogues in about 2 days before I have to find new sources of content. If there were, say, 300 dialogues, it would be a different story... Sure I'm being a little greedy, but I'm still not positive these things don't exist. Morfix is all right but there could be something better. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If you are dealing with Hebrew really often, then Rav Milim is worth it. You can't reasonably ask for a great product for free. You can put in any word, and it will give you the nikkud. It's the best out there. And I'm guessing you would want those 300 dialogues for free, too, right? You are correct in labeling yourself greedy. I'd add cheap as well. ;) I'd also suggest you check out LearnHebrewPod, but I'm guessing you'll just complain that there isn't enough free content. Sometimes you have to spend money. Especially for rarer languages like Hebrew. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Haha, of course I know I'm not entitled to a great product for free. But there are a lot of great products for free out
there, so it's only natural to try and seek them out and take advantage. I certainly do pay for language materials when they are better than the free alternatives and reasonably priced. Unfortunately Hebrew is not that high a priority for me. If it were, I might be willing to spend what it takes to get the best things. But, $99 per year for a dictionary? Call me cheap, but no matter how good it is, that's out of my range. I would pay $99 for it total. And, if you're curious, for 300 of those dialogues I'd probably be willing to pay about $10-20. Which is 2-3x the price of a typical ebook. 1 person has voted this message useful |
