Summary

Shalom! Are you ready to dive into an ancient-yet-modern and rich language full of nuance? Then open up Hebrew For Dummies and get started learning your way around Hebrew by immersing yourself in its sounds and rhythms. You'll start with the basics--like simple grammar and the Hebrew alphabet--before you move onto commonly used phrases and small-talk. This book gets you used to the more unfamiliar sounds of the Hebrew language--like gutturals--that English speakers aren't used to seeing. It will also help you: Recognize what Hebrew has in common with English (and what it doesn't), learn to read from right to left, get a handle on the basics of Hebrew grammar, and pick up your first few phrases, and discover commonly used expressions that help you get around, shop, eat, and have fun.
