I'm learning Hebrew now

[Spiraling Leopard]

I subscribed to learnhebrewpod.com.
For $120 a year you get full acces to their website and all it's lessons. I looked at their free lessons on youtube and thought it was a good deal to learn Hebrew.

If you look at the lessons on their site, you can see they dedicated one whole lesson to rabin, who according to them 'gave his life' for peace. Apart from that the lessons seem to be ok for beginners.

I have only just started and it is still hard to read with vowels and learning to read without vowels will be even harder.

I just wished you success, literally "rise and succeed". Learning to read in a new script is not easy, but I think the real challenge as in any language is to learn enough words and the grammar, basically learning to speak is the hard part.

What Ive learned so far is:

אובמה כושי מלוכלך

[Zelhar]

וגם מוסלמי נאצי

אורניום מדולל זו מתכת רעילה ביותר !

[Ephraim Ben Noach]

אני אוהב אורניום מדולדל.

למה אתה כל זמן אומר את זה?

Shalom Spiraling Leopard,

How is the learning going?  Keep updating if you can as it gives a boost to others in the same position.

When I first started most of the day I was underway in traffic so I only listened to the audio programs whilst working. This is difficult when sometimes you don't hear things correctly and many times you really have to pay attention to other commuters. I did this for a while and unfortunately it gradually developed into not listening at all. I am now trying to pick it up again and as you suggested I will listen to Hebrew to get used to it and I will try to listen to Hebrew songs with translation to make it more easy to understand and get accustomed to.
