I bought this book + CD set thinking it would be a useful addition to my Hebrew studies.
I have already found some rediculous errors.
Bad font used for the Hebrew. It is too thick and too small.
Reading the opinions of others it seems to have been a departure from the usual quality of the series.
Does anyone else have anything to say on this?
Anyone know of errata for the book? It really needs it.
Shalom,
Yehoshua.

I decided not to buy it based on the reviews on amazon.co.uk and amazon.com. They criticized the font as well - and after all that's a very important aspect of any Hebrew course!

I just wasted 100 dollars on it.
Well, I guess the audio is going to be useful.
I wouldn't waste your money on it.
The font is not even the biggest problem I have with this pathetic attempt.

Perhaps not, but there will always be something useful you can gain from it I guess.
Amazon has told me that I'm due to receive the two Raizen books by 8 October. So we'll see what they're like.
