Such a reference book of Modern Hebrew has been needed for a long time. The only previous reference grammar in English, by Lewis Glinert, while an excellent work, is expensive, very technical, very heavy on syntax, and often outdated. This new volume is easy to use, and includes tons of useful and helpful information. It is not a comprehensive grammar with every last detail, but will still be of great value to the student of Hebrew, from the beginner to the advanced level. Recommended.
When I bought the book my need was to understand and use the different verb conjugations and prepositions better. The first aim has certainly been achieved. The second not so.What the book does well is to provide a logical order for presenting the elements of grammar. It is thorough in that it gives examples of each component along with variations and exceptions. Pronunciations are aided by English transliterations. There are thorough appendices giving tables of the grammar components. What the book is not is comprehensive. That is, it does not go through every single verb and how it is used, leaving some intelligent work to be done by the user. Similarly with the prepositions, which is why I haven't yet come to grips with them.But what has gained this book full marks is simply because it is readable and it is easy to dip in and out of.
The examples are particularly helpful. The discussion of "registers" - the level of formality of language and so on - is also interesting and helpful. Bolotsky's 501 Hebrew verbs is of similar quality and usefulness. These books help to span the gap between studying Hebrew and really being able to use it. However, to get the most from this book, one must devote a good deal of effort.
I am a disabled veteran with puncturing head wound on the left side of head with prosthetic skull on the same side. I mention this because language is most affected by this type of injury on that area of the head. Am taking Modern Hebrew classes at a small liberal arts college in a degree program and have been searching for other resources/books to help supplement my learning and understanding. Being in the second semester....I wish I would have found this book in the first semester! It is that good! It is easy enough for someone like me with severe Traumatic brain Injury but enough depth and detail for a college level introductory course. I highly recommend it!
