(Part 2) Top products from r/hebrew

Wow! Good on you for taking that time and putting it to use. And you taught yourself Arabic last time! You sound like an impressive person! So remember that the Old Testament or the Tanakh was written in Biblical Hebrew that is not exactly the same as modern Hebrew. So here's what I would recommend. First get the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible. This is the scrolls put into a book with vowels so as to make each word more more distinguishable (the original scrolls do not have vowels, just consonants). So make sure the Hebrew Bible you get is the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS), because that's the text us academics use for translation purposes. This is usually the cheapest option or this one if you need bigger print. Many, many people complain when they're learning Biblical Hebrew about the small Hebrew print and how it gets in the way of the learning process! You'd be amazed. I've been teaching Biblical Hebrew for a while and in my modest opinion the best book and workbook to learn Biblical Hebrew is Seow's book
and workbook. It's intense and demanding, but somehow I think you might be okay with that. You sound like a determined person. If you'd prefer a book that demands a slower pace or doesn't go in too much depth, then I'd suggest Pratico and Van Pelt's Basics of Biblical Hebrew and its workbook. They have a really helpful Laminated Sheet that's like a helpful cheat sheet. Another thing I would suggest is focusing on narrative in the Hebrew Bible and, at least in the beginning, staying away from poetry and songs. Those are a genre of their own and are much harder to translate. Focus first on narrative (Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Joshua, Judges, Ruth and others). This link talks a little bit more about which books are which genre. Start with narrative and once you get a handle of that you can move on to poems like Lamentations or songs like the Psalms or the Song of Solomon. I hope this helps! If you have any questions at all please feel free to pm me!

Duolingo is great for vocabulary. The biggest barrier to learning Hebrew is the Alphabet though. People are intimidated by any non Latin Alphabet. There's a great book that teaches Hebrew reading with fun memory tricks available on kindle or in paperback:

You might have a hard time finding this specific of a resource. Most dictionaries will not have the English transliteration of Hebrew words, and certainly not for every conjugation. I recommend learning to read with niqqud (which is explained at the beginning of any good English-Hebrew dictionary) and learning how to conjugate all the different binyanim. This way, you can read the Hebrew word and know how to pronounce it without much ambiguity. If you are not yet at this level, maybe you should start with a more basic introductory text book as opposed to a full-fledged dictionary.

As far as specific dictionaries go, I reccoment the Oxford English-Hebrew/Hebrew-English Dictionary or the The New Bantam-Megiddo Hebrew & English Dictionary, Revised.

This is what you need.

In my opinion though you'd be better to spend just a little time learning to read Hebrew. For the first year of learning Hebrew I didn't bother with learning to read and it was a mistake.

Once I could read read I started to recognize the Shoreshim (root letters) as part of words and, from there, all sorts of patterns became apparent and I could start to infer meaning from context and the shoresh.

Hope the link helps.

As far as an internet resource for biblical Hebrew, this is top to bottom, the best. Videos taking you from the very basics up.
He also has a book teaching biblical Hebrew that I believe this video instruction follows.

I had this book when I was little; don't know if there are new editions available. It has those nice old tables. [EDIT: found another version that might be the one I remember; 201 didn't sound like the right number. The cover I remember was just closer to the (prettier) old version.)

I also found this convenient site online [EDIT: changed link to one that actually knows Hebrew phonology], though it's a bit weird in that it titles the entries by infinitive; usually in Hebrew grammar the singular male third-person past tense is considered the "base" form. But you can search by any conjugation, so it's all good.

My personal advice, and the philosophy used by most such references - treat the binyanim as etymology, not conjugation. There are very regular rules for plugging in a root to a binyan, but there are no rules for figuring out the meaning based on root + binyan, except for the passive/active pairs of binyanim which are very useful to keep in mind while learning conjugations. But for these purposes, just focus on the tense-and-pronoun (or aspect-and-pronoun) variants.

Yes it does , they are only similar though, not 1 to 1.

This book was used for learning Hebrew in my Conversion course: http://www.amazon.com/Aleph-Isnt-Tough-Introduction-Hebrew/dp/0807407267/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1405438671&sr=1-2&keywords=aleph+isn%27t+enough

I supplemented it with the next book in the series: http://www.amazon.com/Aleph-Isnt-Enough-Hebrew-Adults/dp/0807407488/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1405438702&sr=1-1&keywords=aleph+isn%27t+enough

And the 3rd: http://www.amazon.com/Bet-BReishit-Hebrew-Adults-Introduction/dp/080740845X/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1405438714&sr=1-3&keywords=aleph+isn%27t+enough

And the 4th: http://www.amazon.comITorah-Introduction-Hebrew-Adults-Paperback/dp/0807408476/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1405438714&sr=1-4&keywords=aleph+isn%27t+enough

If you master all of these books- you will be able to read Torah.

I also used Rosetta Stone for Hebrew- but this will not be biblical Hebrew and will teach you modern terms you won't need to know for prayer etc.
