Learn how to speak Hebrew like an American (not an Israeli) April 25, 2008
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
The concept in this cd is great. The price is fair. The technical features on the cd are very easy to use and to play back. I installed it on my laptop in a few minutes and played it back on Windows Media player immediately. The tracks are labeled correctly. Everything seems fine.
Then I played it for my Hebrew instructor. He started laughing. The pronunciation is not at all like modern Hebrew. So, if you are like me and you want to learn Hebrew in order to read the bible, but you also might want to be able to say something to Israeli's if you ever go there on a trip, then by all means DON'T use this product. It will drill into your head the wrong way to speak Hebrew.
However, if you don't plan to go to Israel and do plan to use your biblical Hebrew in a context where the older American style Seminary pronunciations are in play, then this is the perfect tool. Unfortunately, those pronunciations are falling out of favor more and more.
So, if you are like me, then this product is not something to spend time and money on at all, even though it is well packaged and priced fairly.
I think products that feature audio recordings of a language ought to use a native speaker of that language. Shame on Zondervan for failing to recognize this and provide us with a native speaker, and for not labeling this product with some sort of declaration that it uses a method of speech that most Israeli's think sounds funny to their ears.
I'm sorry I cannot recommend this product. Someone ought to come out with an audio recording of a real Israeli speaking all the words correctly.
