EKS Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 We like Shalom Uvrachah from Behrman House. It comes with a worktext and a CD with pronunciation (very helpful!) and activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I like a book recommended by Jews for Jesus and written by Zola Levitt. For modern Hebrew, I like Rosetta Stone. Outside of that, I use flashcards for vocab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeOnTheRanch Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 When he was about 9-11 (I don't remember right off) oldest used Hebrew Made Easy. I see they are offering it at a special price for a download. We also had the Hebrew Bilingual Baby video that helped with some pronunciation. DH took Hebrew in Seminary, so he was another pronunciation resource. DS took a few years off of Hebrew to do Greek (Hey, Andrew!) and Latin, and this year he reviewed that Hebrew book and is using some of DH's Seminary Hebrew texts.

Scuff Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Mine are loving Sarah & David It's cute and makes it fun. We're working through the Aleph Bet workbook right now, but they know much of it already just from reading the book and listening to the CD. We also use Rosetta Stone.

ELaurie Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I like the Behrman House materials as well. You will find a link to their website in my signature line :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpidarkomama Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 We're using Shalom Uvrachah and Rosetta Stone for oral/modern Hebrew (oldest is 5), and it's taught by three puppets - Tzemi the sheep, Zeevi the wolf, and Bar Haachbar (like in the book!). We're most interested in their biblical Hebrew skills, though. I'm hoping to start reading Berei**** in the original at the end of 1st grade. For alef beis, we used a book called Shaarei Alef Beis. Nothing fancy, but the book looks old-fashioned and very grown up. :) We also look for letters in the siddur (prayerbook) to find the tefillos we do every morning. We have also used Judaica Press's Sha'ah shel menucha. We finished the Kindergarten level and will start 1st grade after the chagim. After that, we might use a new series called the Migdalor Program by Shy Publishing Corporation. They also have many good chumash and mishnah workbooks. Morah Moriah has many wonderful online downloads that we've purchased too. If you have contacts at a day school that uses the Tal Am program, that's a very good, very complete resource. For beginning reader books I got the Nitzanim series. It's leveled readers, maybe 5 books at each level. They're inexpensive but hard to find. I can't remember offhand where I got them. Chinuch.org has many, many resources including lots of Hebrew. That's free to use. Many teachers have contributed their lessons to it. Great resource. We use something from there nearly daily, including a complete rigorous Kindergarten curriculum that I downloaded which we are pretty much following. We also have cds of torah stories in Hebrew, and another book by Behrman. I think it's called Tall Tales in Biblical Hebrew or something like that. Stories like The Boy Who Cried Wolf and the Three Little Pigs in biblical Hebrew. It's really great! Other stuff too, but that's what comes to mind! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpidarkomama Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 CRACKING UP!!! In my message above I wrote B-E-R-E-I-S-H-I-T and when it posted it changed the last part into asterisks. Oh, what a way to end the evening, LOL. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
