Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Andrew Kulikovsky <anku AT CelsiusTech.com.au>]

I taught myself Hebrew using Parson's Hebrew Tutor software put together by
Ted Hildebrandt.

Not only does it give you good explanations of the grammar, it also contains
many examples, references to the standard Hebrew grammars and it speaks to
you and lets you know the correct pronunciation, as well as containing many
tests and drills.

I thoroughly recommend it.

cheers,
Andrew
