Book Description:

Webster's New World---+ Hebrew Dictionary is an innovative dictionary that makes the Hebrew language more accessible to students by eliminating the barrier of the Hebrew alphabet. It's easy to locate words quickly, because the Hebrew-to-English section is alphabetized according to the transliterated English spelling. The English version is marked for correct pronunciation and followed immediately by the Hebrew spelling of the word. This work of linguistic scholarship is packed with useful features for rapid progress, even for those with no familiarity with Hebrew. It contains:

• Extensive grammatical information including parts of speech, variant verb forms, and the formation of feminine and plural forms
• Listings of idioms and compounds and indications of colloquialisms and slang
• Common variations in pronunciations
• Geographical, historical, and cultural entries
