501 Hebrew Verbs - a great resource

If you want to learn about Hebrew Verbs and know almost everything about how to conjugate and use Hebrew Verbs in all the forms and all the verbal constructions then this is the book to get!

Contrary to what you might see in some Hebrew Grammar books, there really is no verb in Hebrew that can be conjugated in all the stems, and this book will help you to speak Hebrew correctly.

 

I bought my copy at Sefel V'Sefel in Central Jerusalem http://www.sefervesefel.com/ for 128 NIS, on the spot, but you can get yours at Amazon: http://amzn.to/1Gg2BJ6

The Relative Pronoun in Hebrew! אשר

Relative pronouns.  In English we have many relative pronouns, that, which, who, sometimes we can use when as a relative pronoun.  

In Hebrew we only have one relative pronoun:  אשר 
This fact makes it difficult for Hebrew speakers to learn English , but easier for English speakers to learn Hebrew. 

Some examples 

הילדה הקטנה , אשר לובשת חולצה ורודה מנגנת בפסנתר

The little girl , who was wearing a pink shirt playing the piano

החנות אשר פתוחה מאורת הלילה יש מכירה מיוחד 

The store, which is open late tonight is having a sale.

Hebrew with Pleasure, a great book to learn Modern Hebrew

This is the book that I use to teach Hebrew Grammar.  It is up-to-date, and teaches Modern Hebrew, but without all the names of the verbal constructions.  It is for people who want to be able to speak Hebrew fast.  I use this after the Talmud Torah book. this is the link on Amazon to the print book.    http://amzn.to/1P4TqlX  For the first part of the book, they do print the transliteration under the Hebrew.  but since I have learned how to read Hebrew, I can't understand the English transliteration anymore!    I have also bought copies at Tefillin Beit El http://www.en.tefillin.co.il/index.php?homeen=1 and mailed them to students. 

It says that you don't need a teacher, and you can buy a copy of the book that comes with a CD http://amzn.to/1P4TGl5  and if you remember to put on the CD, and don't lose them, they will be a good resource for you.  

Of course there is nothing like taking lessons with a teacher, and using the CD's to go over as homework!  I think that this is the best strategy!
