Why you will never learn Hebrew from a book

"Every verb requires a certain object form (case) and it is of extreme importance to know what case is required by each and every verb. This is of particular importance for speakers of English, since in English the object is mostly directly linked to the verb(with no linking element intervening), as in the sample sentence given above, or, if a linking element is present, there is absolutely no correspondence between such linking element in English and the Hebrew cases, in that one and the same linking element required, in English, by different verbs may correspond to two different Hebrew cases, and vice versa." A Textbook of Israeli Hebrew by Haiim B. Rosen, U of Chicago Press, 1962, p. 62.

First he strays from the path, then he stumbles and falls.

Shin for short

There is only one use for the letter shin (as a contraction) so everything about this lesson is short.
