Hebrew Mekhina (preparatory course)

Required Textbook

The textbook used by Hebrew College for Hebrew Mekhina is the first volume of Ivrit Min Hahatchala - Chadash (Hebrew From Scratch - New Edition) published in Israel by Academon. The book is available from the Israel Book Shop, 800-323-7723, israelbookshop.com. The cost is $40 per volume plus shipping. Mention that you are a Hebrew College student for a $4 discount. A companion collection of audio CDs can be purchased with each volume of the book. They are not required for participation in the course.

You Will Need a Dictionary

Part of learning Modern Hebrew is learning how to understand words from context, and how to use a Hebrew dictionary. That's why the textbook glossary contains only certain words key to the textbook lessons, and leaves gradually absorbing the other words as part of your language-learning process.

You will find it helpful and sometimes essential to refer to a Hebrew-English / English-Hebrew dictionary. Here are two recommendations. (We welcome your comments and recommendations. Please send these to rschindler@hebrewcollege.edu)

Michal Levy's first choice:
Multi Dictionary-Bilingual Learners Dictionary, by Edna Lauder & Liora Weinbach ($36).

A smaller dictionary with 82,000 entries:
The up-to-date English-Hebrew Hebrew-English Dictionary, by Shimon Zilberman ($12.75)

Both are available at the Israel Book Shop, (800) 323-7723, and possibly through other online booksellers.
