Talk:Hebrew
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
It will make things easier for you if you use the / system to organize the pages. Hebrew/Intro, Hebrew/Verbs, etc. The secondary page, Intro or Verbs, has an automatic link that is created to the parent page, Hebrew. --Karl Wick 23:15, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Feedback
Is this helpful? --CocoaZen 05:54, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
IMHO the Hebrew course is quite helpful, at least for beginners (such as myself).
[edit] General Guidelines
- I suggest that most lessons should not introduce more than 20 vocabulary words (fewer if possible). More advanced lessons can have "prerequisite" lessons. For example, a lesson on cooking terms could have some basic food lessons and measurement as prerequisites.
- Lessons should have a common format and components. There are several options. Here's one example, Hebrew/Lesson formats. Some language books put vocabulary first; others start with a dialog and then explain it with vocabulary etc. Some common components could be
-
- vocabulary (broken into parts of speech: Nouns - Verbs - Pronouns - Adjectives - Adverbs - Conjunctions - Prepositions - Interjections) with diacritic marks and transliterations/phonetic guidelines
- dialog
- usage hints (modern versus prayerbook Hebrew, colloquial use, more polite forms)
- related lessons (prerequisites, more advanced, overlapping topics -- for instance days of the week and numbers are related)
- exercises (translate individual words, phrases, sentences, first with the diacritic marks and then without) link to correct answers

[edit] Layout and Formatting
As a suggestion, i think you should go over the book and make the layout and formatting consistent and then try and keep it consistent as the book develops.
[edit] Fonts
- The fonts "Ezra SIL SR" & "Ezra SIL" display the Dagesh badly (too much to the left of the letter). If no one objects, I'll remove it from the Hebrew templates. Dan Pelleg 21:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- Since no-one has objected for almost a month, I'm removing these fonts from the templates. Dan Pelleg (talk) 23:28, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
