Book Review: The ONLY way to learn Hebrew...!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the book I have been looking for for years -- the perfect guide for adults who are looking to continue their study, adding both understanding and practical reading skills. It starts simple, covering concepts like root words, prefixes and suffixes. Each chapter is an easy-to-swallow bite of the whole; by the end of the book, students will be able to understand and follow HUGE chunks of services in almost any synagogue.

Though this book is put out by the Reform movement, and is intended, most likely, for converts and others within that movement, the selections are almost entirely universal -- what this book has to offer can benefit adult beginners of any denomination.

One of this book's biggest strengths is that it offers a sampling of how the same Hebrew passages are translated in different siddurim and texts; what a fantastic way to introduce students to the breadth of the Jewish experience! It also lightens up the educational experience by adding tidbits of Jewish knowledge and philosophy along the way.

There's also a set of flashcards available to go with this book. If you can't buy that at Amazon, though, go ahead and make your own. With those plus this book, you'll be well equipped to navigate your way through any siddur you come across!
