learn hebrew

I’m trying to learn hebrew, i’m probably going to take courses in september when school start’s again. This is not only a life dream, but i want to be able to speak with family.

up to Lamed now… the Middle… the King of Kings… the Grande Poobah.

these are not spelled right, but this is how i remember how to say them:
A = Aleph
B = Bait
G = Gimel
D = Dalet
H = Hey
V = Vaav
Z = Ziyeen
CH = Chate
T = Tate
Y = Yode
they are tricky to remember in the right order so far, but Practice, Practice, Practice : D

yesterday i learned how to write the first four characters in the Hebrew alphabet… using two scripts!

just like learning Chinese actually… practice, practice, practice :D

saba – grandfather
savta – grandmother

mayim/water
ani ohaiv/I love you

leelmode/to learn
ani lamaditee/I learned
hayeled lamade/the boy learned
hayaldah lamedet/the girl learned

...give you reasons to do and later to not do things. this one i no longere have a desire to do.

My father has spoke hebrew my entire life. Sadly though, my mom forbid him from teaching the kids the language so I never learned. I want to learn it behind his back so one day I can come home and understand everything hes saying, and respond fluently. How cool would that be!

Some days it feels like I’m making progress, days like today I just feel like I’m learning hardly anything and not ever going to get anywhere.

Sometimes learning a language is just too damn hard..

My new Hebrew book arrived today.. Still lots of work..
I know it is rubbish now and I can’t see much improvement, but I am going to persevere and get past the barrier. It would mean so much to me to succeed.

Is it really possible to teach oneself a language?

I’m working through Pimsleur 2, Rosetta stone level 1 and various books.

Has anyone tried learn hebrew online? THe thing where u get a live online lesson once a week at a set time with a teacher from ISrael??

Is it any good? How much does it cost?
