More about the book
Presents a radical new approach to learning the Hebrew script. It recognizes how exotic & daunting it can appear at first to natives of other cultures, & breaks this down by revealing the script s shared roots with the Roman & Greek alphabets, & showing how it can be understood largely in terms of the natural inclinations of the hand when switching to writing from right to left. Written with the empathy of someone who made this transition as a child, the book & its method are the product of over 10 years of successful testing, & demonstrates how the skill of writing in Hebrew can be mastered independently of its grammar & vocabulary. With its informal style & copious illustrations, this book makes the Hebrew script accessible & relevant to everyone.
