zenjenn Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I guess this would pretty much apply to Jewish homeschoolers. Does anyone know of a *good* piece of software for Biblical Hebrew? (That is, just Torah-reading?) It SO lends itself to a point-and-click approach. We did Behrman House for a few weeks last year but ultimately quit because while I think the approach was good, the animation, sound, and interface were so grating as to be intolerable. I just want a basic Hebrew reading piece of software or website with audio that has a smooth intuitive interface and clean sound. I've searched and searched and so many are similarly amateurish/awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpidarkomama Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 There's just not much out there... Have you checked out this site? http://morahmoriah.com/ I haven't used any of the Qedoc-based things, but I've used hard copies of the workbooks and they're great for early elementary.

Thanks for that link -- some of those card sets look great. I'm afraid I have nothing to offer but will be watching this thread, OP. I just spent much of my evening looking at various Hebrew resources, too. :banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenjenn Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 It's hard because I was not raised with any Jewish education, nor do I have much of a community here to draw from. The Hebrew school is kind of a mess here and I'm not even sure it qualifies as Hebrew school. I won't bore you with the epic tale. I'd like something with audio so the sounds are just right. Kids just spent 4 weeks at Jewish camp with daily Hebrew for my rising 4th grader and I'd like to keep the momentum going. I am just blown away that Chabad doesn't have some sort of awesome interactive slick Hebrew-learning thing on their website. Seems like their kind of deal. Thanks for the link - will be checking it out for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Well, Sarah and David is used in Schuls. I bought it for my son to learn Hebrew. It's not really Ancient Hebrew, but I figure that if shuls use it... it's good, right? The authors are a daughter/mom pair and it seems the main difference is some pronunciation and the writing is a bit different... :) My dad who can fluently read the Hebrew Bible can get along fine with it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
