Let's Learn Hebrew Picture Dictionary: Hebrew Picture Dictionary

1) The pictures here are colorful but the other book actually lets you paint or crayon in the pictures. for me, Cirker/Steadman is great fun! Straight from the post office, I went to [the store] and bought a cheap watercolor paint set. I am an adult but this was fun - mixing colors, painting and learning the hebrew word. I am using this painting not only to learn hebrew, but also to relieve stress from work :)

2) When the hebrew word is transliterated, one tends to remember the english word and forget the hebrew word because it is easier to look at. It would have been better if they had printed the transliterated words on another page or upside down.

This is a great beginner's book for children and adults alike. We are having a lot of family fun with this one. My 7-year-old and 6-year-old learned how to count to 100 (in Hebrew) in just a few weeks. If you and your family are learning Hebrew, add this book to your collection.

This is a very fun dictionary for kids (and adult kids)! The illustrations by Marlene Goodman are colorful and help reinforce learning the words for common nouns. Each entry is illustrated, with the Hebrew word (including vowels), the English word and a phonetic translation. The book is divided by sections ("At the Supermarket," "In the City," etc.) to facilitate learning the vocabulary for a specific topic. It includes an index in phonetic Hebrew and in English. I would definitely recommend it for both children and adults.
