Introduction

Hebrew is spoken by about 7 million people world-wide. It is the national language of Israel, used by Jews for community and religion purposes and by religious scholars to understand the history of various religions (more about the history and variations). This Hebrew WikiBook is to help English readers learn Hebrew.

Taking advantage of the capabilities of hypertext, this Wiki Book can be used in several different ways. The prerequisite for all of them is the phonetic Hebrew alphabet. After that, a learner can go through in numerical order starting with Hebrew/Basic 1 or focussing on vocabulary based topics. For instance, a student could begin with Hebrew/Food and move onto related topics like Hebrew/Meals, Hebrew/Drinks or Hebrew/Fruit. Lessons have links to suggested prerequisites, related topics and more advanced lessons.

At this point the lessons are introductory. More advanced levels should come. In general, the level 2 lessons assume students have become familiar with the content of level 1 and so forth.
