Are you learning another language?

[Tarheeler]

Hebrew is hard. It took me about 6 months just to be able to recognize and read from a siddur. Its hard because of the mix of different alphabet and different ways of saying things.

Good luck

I haven't even began to learn to read it, but I am able to identify words and know their meanings during the service. I figure if I know how to say the word and what it means, it will make identifying the letters and the sounds that much easier.

I'm learning Esperanto at the moment.

Good luck with Esperanto!

I spent a lot of time working with its offspring, Ido, which I still greatly prefer over Esperanto. My favorite auxlang, though, is Lingua Franca Nova (LFN).

Oh, see I spent more time at first learning the letters and the bots(i forget actual name of these) and how to put them together.

But considering it is a semetic language, its very challenging.

I still remember alot and know of a few very good websites and resources I can suggest to you. Just let me know in a PM if you want links and all

Ok I am going to suggest this book.
Amazon.com: The First Hebrew Primer for Adults, Second Edition (9780939144051): Ethelyn Simon, Nanette Stahl, Linda Motzkin: Books
It is pretty cool in that it starts you off using the English words spelled with Hebrew characters. A kind of phonic training.
I am just up to the second chapter and boy is there a lot of writing(each letter 10x each with and without the vowels), but I think it's worth it.

I am trying to learn Arabic and Hindi.

I am learning how to write in arabic. Its very beautiful

 

[elmarna]

I find it is best to learn from a native of the language.
Books & tapes have their purpose, but lack alot in the true understanding & applications in the ways to communicate in whatever dialect you take on!
