PREFATORY NOTE
This little volume is intended for the use of
persons desirous of acquiring some degree of
facility in the use of Hebrew as a spoken
language.
It is not intended as a text-book
for beginners, but rather as a help to those
who have already gained some knowledge of
elementary Hebrew. The publishers have had
specially in mind the needs of persons intending to settle in Palestine, or to go there as
tourists.
This
is,
as far as
we know, the
first
serious
effort in this direction made by the protagonists of the Hebrew Revival, and, as such, this
work is no doubt open to many criticisms.

many suggestions will come from readers and
