Transcript

nterested in learning Hebrew or reading the Bible? A New Practical Hebrew Grammar: With Hebrew-English and English-Hebrew Exercises and a Hebrew Chrestomathy is a great introduction to Hebrew grammar studies. Written by Solomon Deutsch, this practical guide was written to help students learn Hebrew. Deutsch's other aim was to provide a foundation in Hebrew grammar for those who were self-studying the Bible. The book is well organized. The first half consists of exercises and grammar rules. Deutsch makes it possible for students with no experience to begin to learn the alphabet. The Hebrew alphabet consisted of 22 letters, all consonants. Vowels were added later. A New Practical Hebrew Grammar: With Hebrew-English and English-Hebrew Exercises covers the most essential aspects of the language, like pronunciation, etymology and sentence structure. The second part illustrates important rules through chrestomathy, which is a collection of literary passages used as an aid in learning a subject. Almost the entire Old Testament, composed over a thousand years, was composed in Hebrew, and the passages used to illustrate the language are from the Old Testament. Deutsch selected passages that are both simple and grammatically correct, which allows students to actually learn a few Biblical passages. A New Practical Hebrew Grammar: With Hebrew-English and English-Hebrew Exercises and a Hebrew Chrestomathy is useful and authoritative for students of all backgrounds and experience level. The English-Hebrew index is a great resource. If you love languages, then this is a perfect way to learn something totally new.
