Hebrew for Beginners
Practical Learning with SynapseLingo
About this book
E-book including audio access and learning software via link.
This friendly beginner's course is your clear entry into modern Hebrew—designed especially for English-speaking learners. You'll start with the essential sounds and correct pronunciation of the Alef?Bet, then build step by step to useful words, sentences, and short dialogues for everyday life, travel, family, and small talk—so your first real conversations come quickly and confidently.
Each unit follows a simple rhythm: brief explanation in English, compact vocabulary list, sample dialogue, pronunciation tips, mini exercises, and a short review to lock in what you've learned. Grammar is explained in plain language—word order, gender and number, personal pronouns, question patterns, core verb patterns (binyanim basics), and key tenses—without unnecessary jargon and with memorable cues you can apply right away.
Culture notes help you use Hebrew naturally and respectfully in Israeli contexts—from greetings and politeness to café, market, and transit situations—so the language feels alive and authentic.
Perfect for self-learners at CEFR A1–A2 level, the book gives you clear learning goals, time-planning tips, checklists, and quick quizzes at the end of each chapter to keep motivation high. Hebrew terms are highlighted with supportive transliteration to help you recognize and pronounce new words faster and more accurately.
Powered by SynapseLingo, the course is built on smart learning psychology: short steps, frequent review, and immediately useful language. With integrated audio for pronunciation and listening, plus link-out practice tools, you'll progress in focused, manageable sessions—and enjoy seeing your Hebrew take off. This e-book was developed with AI-assisted tools and subsequently editorially reviewed to ensure the highest learning quality.
