Is Hebrew an easy language to learn?

If you learn modern Hebrew, you will be able to read biblical Hebrew.

By the way, biblical Hebrew is not all the same. It comes from different time periods for over 1500 years. The language of Genesis is simpler than that of the later books of the Pentateuch, the Prophets more ornate, and Psalms and the other writings are a different kind of literate language.

The Easy Learn Hebrew program is based on the original Hebrew teaching methods developed by Rabbi Lampert, that have enjoyed outstanding success in the classroom environment for over 50 years.

Modern Hebrew is a revival of biblical Hebrew, so they are not far apart. The structure and grammar of modern Hebrew is the same as biblical Hebrew, but the vocabulary keeps on absorbing words from other languages.

An example of how modern words creep in replacing “purer” Hebrew constructs: The word that is used universally for ‘telephone’ is ‘telephone’, not “sach rachoke” (converse at a distance, using Hebrew roots.) The verb is ‘li talphen.’ New coinages appear all the time. There is a street in Tel Aviv named Dizengoff street. It is a popular place to promenade. So, the verb becomes l’hizdangef’ (“doing Dizengoff”.) There is a part of a truck known as the back axel. In Hebrew, it is ‘bechaxel.’ The one in the front is ‘frontbackaxel.’
