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).

A good program for conversation

I really like this program and I have tried many because it requires that you stay focused and talk back. I have studied Biblical Hebrew in the past so I am able to catch it quickly but I believe this is the best spoken Hebrew program I have come across and plan on completing them all.

It works!

I speak several languages, which I've learned thru travel experience, schooling and other methods. This is the quickest and easiest yet

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.

Good but way over priced

Overpriced for very little learning content. At this point, I don't know very much Hebrew and I would have to spend about another $90 on this course in order to learn a useful amount.

Good for slow learners and fast alike

I took French in high school. I didn't have good study skills and it was very hard. I felt like I wasn't a 2nd language learner. But if you committed to following the instructions. (Listening & repeating). Then you've got it. Go at your pace but do it daily and you'll be surprised as I was how quickly you learn.

Expensive

Is it a good program? Yes. Is it worth 18 credits to get through the 90 day program? Not so much.

No.

I saw a lot of good reviews for Pimsleur. Maybe its okay if you've never heard Hebrew before in your life. But it guides you how to say words one syllable at a time. 'You' 'at....at.....at.....at....' 2.5 hrs of that. probably the least effective way to learn
