Book Reviews of Brandeis Modern Hebrew
Book Review: Awful as a Self Study Guide
Summary: 1 Stars
Perhaps this book is worthwhile if used in conjuction with a formal class, but if you're trying to learn Hebrew on your own, it is endlessly frustrating. It introduces words into reading exercises (for which there are no translations) that have either not been previsously defined or defined once 20 pages earlier. Time is wasted looking up words in the glossary in the back of the book. Moreover, vowels are not used after a word is introduced but before the word is truly learned. This gets particularly tricky when trying when a word is used in a differennt form, particularly with verbs.
Summary of Brandeis Modern Hebrew
Written by the core faculty of the Hebrew Program at Brandeis University, Brandeis Modern Hebrew is an accessible introduction to the Hebrew language for American undergraduates and high school students. Its functional and contextual elements are designed to bring students from the beginner level to the intermediate level, and to familiarize them with those linguistic aspects that will prepare them to function in advanced stages.This volume reflects some of the main principles that have shaped the Brandeis Hebrew curriculum during the past decade. These include:
* an emphasis on the learner's ability to use the target language in all four skills areas: speaking, listening, reading, and writing
* an effort to contextualize each unit within a specific subject or theme
* exposing the student to authentic and semi-authentic materials (texts written by native speakers)
* exploring different elements from Israeli and Jewish culture in the language drills, reading passages, and in selections of sources from the Hebrew literary canon
The text in this edition comprises a short introduction to the instructor, 11 units, supplementary Hebrew proficiency guidelines, and a vocabulary list. Included is a CD that contains audio material for some of the exercises and an enrichment program linked to the text.
