"Unlike most academic books on Biblical Hebrew, this course provides a sep-by-step approach that will enable you to understand the Hebraic mindset while learning the alphabet and vowel signs."
I'm very quickly re-reading this book as part of our summer project of improving our Hebrew. It's a very good basic refresher course in the Alef Beit. I grew up speaking Hebrew but unfortunately don't get to use it as much as I would like and think that a good basic review is in order. This book seems to be a good start. Although it is Christian-oriented, it is still a wonderful review of the Hebrew laguage. (No slight intended to Chirstians at all...I'm Jewish.)
