Shalom Israel is an interactive workbook that will teach you basic Hebrew conversation while exploring Modern Israel's history and culture. Previous knowledge of how to read and write Hebrew is a prerequisite (please see my other book, Read, Write, Recite Hebrew).There is a free, online companion at HebrewBasics. com that provides links to online resources, pdfs, videos, quizzes and more.
