Product Description
Product Description
Modern Hebrew for Intermediate Students offers secondary school, college, and independent-study students a state-of-the-art learning experience that takes full advantage of media technology and the World Wide Web. A sequel to Modern Hebrew for Beginners, this combination of text- and workbook is designed to be used with web-based audio, visual, and interactive materials to give students multiple learning opportunities suited to a variety of learning styles. The program provides for intense practice of all four language skills: reading, writing, listening comprehension, and conversation. Esther Raizen provides language training while focusing on a variety of general topics, such as geography and genetics, as well as on topics pertinent to Hebrew culture and Israeli realities. A dedicated website (www lamc.utexas.edu/hebrew/index.html) is rich with interactive tutorials, links to sites of interest that serve as virtual tours, short films based on contemporary Israeli life and society, and numerous interviews that provide listening and discussion opportunities. Raizen emphasises the spoken language, while also paying attention to various aspects of normative grammar, of the written language, and of cultural elements associated with Hebrew. With this variety of materials and the capacity for continuous updating via the website, teachers and students will find this book endlessly adaptable and highly suitable for self-paced training and a variety of academic settings. Esther Raizen is Assistant Professor of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures and Director of the Modern Hebrew Project at the University of Texas at Austin.

Nice changes
24 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
This is the follow on to Prof. Raizen's Modern Hebrew for Beginners. Like the first book, it uses reading exercises, videos, verb practices from the Web. However, she's made some changes that make the book easier to use. Vocabularly lists are now in alef-bet order. Units start with a reading selection and reading comprehension questions where before it could have been either the reading selection or a video.
I liked the beginners book and I think I'm going to like this second book even better.
One thing I don't like about the book is that it gives instructions for completing exercises in Hebrew. Although it's good to get students thinking in Hebrew, I think she did this a little too soon. That's why I marked it down to four stars.

Excellent Resource!
17 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback
This book by Dr. Raizen is great for learning Hebrew, whether on your own or in class. She thinks after my own heart, and provides detailed usage information in a separate section for much of the vocabulary and expressions that she gives in each lesson. It is very helpful to have a corresponding website with readings and games, to better reinforce the materials. I also like how she marks the accent if it is different from what you would expect, and that there are many exercises to learn the concepts.
I am also currently studying the Routledge introductory Hebrew book, and even as an intermediate student there are things in there that I find most helpful. That book and online multimedia package also has its strengths. I would recommend looking at both of them, to get broader coverage.
All in all, this is a great resource to truly see the language and how it works!

good book, very technical looking though
1 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
This book may be a bit advanced and technical for some even though it's a book for beginners. It's very thorough in its explanations and developments. It is a very adequate college textbook of the modern Hebrew language.
