Critic reviews

"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed." (AudioFile magazine)

learn learn learn. repeat repeat practice practic

pimsluer courses work. but you have to put in the time daily and repeat the words out loud.

Easy to follow

everything is broken down and easy to remember. even their timing is conducive to memory recall.

Amazed! Thank you, Pimlseur!

I am amazed at how we live retained this language. I took Spanishfor 2 years and hardly retained anything.

I started this series of lessons 8 days ago and just finished today.
Already purchased the next series
It’s definitely worked/working for me. I would recommend this 100% to anyone looking to retain a language quickly.

Perfect!

This is just what I needed to give me the mental boost to keep pursuing my dream of learning the beautiful Hebrew language. They speak clearly and repeat everything enough for you to remember what you just learned come next lesson! Thank you Pimsleur for this wonderful start I've already started the next one!

Ok with another book for reading skills

I went through the whole Pimsleur Hebrew (1, 2 and 3) and I it is a very efficient method to unlock speaking difficulties as well as oral understanding.
However the course does not provide with sufficient grammar explanations (especially with regard to the verbs), and the reading material is too poor.
I highly recommend to start by an alef-bet and then go on with pimsleur + a book for reading skills (Ora Band or Ester Raizen are excellent to get familiar with the reading in hebrew).

perfect learning modality for Aural learners!

I've finished lesson 1 and am very proud of my abilities so far. This is the second course I've taken with this product, and it has proven successful. more convenient now... I learned Hindi in the CD format years ago and can still remember much of it!

Pronunciation

I know the Hebrew alefbet and it certainly helps. Going through this has helped me tremendously and added to my vocabulary!!!

Very helpful if you are learning Biblical Hebrew

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. I am learning Biblical Hebrew and have found this to be very helpful. There is a lot of crossover.

GREAT CONTENT, but some recording errors.

This language learning program through the Pimsleur method is honestly SO GOOD, and has REALLY helped me practice and learn conversational Hebrew as a traveller very quickly!!! The only thing that I didn't like about it is that, for some of the words in this unit, when they are playing the recording of how to say the specific word, there is a 1-2 second lag in the the record and a lot of times half of the word is cut off or doesn't play at all, which was frustrating sometimes because it was a lot HARDER to learn how to say the real words, and I think this is something they should be easily able to fix if they wanted to. Still, even with the cutoff in pronunciation for a few words, there is still enough content that covers it that a determined learner can still figure out the true pronunciation of the word, but as much as I truly LOVED and am grateful for the quality of the content, this is something I need to address and definitely something that keeps this unit from getting 5 stars...

Hopefully the future units don't have the same problem, because I plan to keep on moving forward to learn Hebrew!!

still need to take notes.

just helps me. whatever the lesson man says. making me write more for review
