I have heard that the French-based Assimil Hebrew course is good. You could just focus on the spoken aspect and not push the reading.
Pimsleur Hebrew is a good introduction, but it is quite boring and expensive. Edited by nogoodnik on 15 June 2010 at 8:57pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I would check out http://www.hebrewpodcasts.com
You have to pay for a membership to use all their resources, but some of their podcasts are free on ITunes and are well done. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I like this suggestion. It will have the added benefit of functional use of my French... 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks, I also looked at learnhebrewpod.com which I think is a similar concept. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

JW, what do you use to deal with the written aspect? I'd like to start Hebrew for a bit just to see how much my knowledge of Arabic carries over.

I am using this: http://www.amazon.com/Biblical-Hebrew-Step/dp/0801060419 Great book but, if you use it, don't get overwhelmed by the first five chapters. You need to keep coming back to these as they present an overwhelming amount of information. The pace is more appropriate starting with chapter 6. I would imagine Hebrew would not be difficult for you if you have Arabic. You would just have to learn the script which is not difficult.

learnhebrewpod is also a great resource. If you like the format of the free podcasts, the paid subscription offers two additional podcasts (if I remember correctly) plus written dialogues and games and all of the other bells and whistles. The topics are interesting and the language is modern and colloquial with a few grammar lessons thrown in here and there. If you sign up for a free subscription at their website, I think They'll send you a code for 20 percent off at some point. The downside of learnhebrewpod is that there is WAY too much English used in the recordings, which I feel wastes valuable Hebrew time. It's still a good program though that I'd recommend to anyone. 1 person has voted this message useful |
