Hebrew from Scratch: Part 1 (English and Hebrew Edition) 2007 Edition by Shlomit Chayat, Sara Israeli, Hilla Kobliner [2007]

Hebrew from Scratch is also known as 'Ivrit min hathahala'. It's a comprehensive textbook, grammar and exercise book for the beginner adult student. Widely used by high school and university students. The instructions for the exercises as well as the translations of the vocabulary lists are in English. Otherwise, the course is based on Hebrew-only instruction. One of the best, friendliest, Hebrew teaching books, this book immerses the student in Hebrew, but without overwhelming the English speaker who is trying to learn a language that is so very different than English.
