Reviews"This new introductory textbook is far-and-away the most interesting, innovative, and promising development in Hebrew education that I have seen. . . . Its strength lies in its integration of multiple modes of presenting Hebrew to the learner. . . . This variety in modes of presentation helps teach students the range of communicative skills they would need to function in everyday life in Hebrew." -Daniel Lefkowitz, Assistant Professor of Asian and Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures, University of Virginia
