Websters New World Hebrew English English Hebrew Dictionary Review

Websters New World Hebrew English English Hebrew Dictionary
I am learning modern Hebrew and was nearly put off buying this book by the negative reviews. I’m so glad I bought it. It is absolutely brilliant and not too complex, easy to read print and well laid out. The words are also written in Hebrew lettering as they are used in Israel, after the transliteration. (It is not a Biblical Hebrew dictionary.) Thus far, I haven’t had a single problem finding any particular word in it. Having said that, it is not a stand-alone dictionary. You will still need at least another good one (e.g.Oxford), written in Hebrew lettering, but it is easy to find any written words, providing you have them already written down in transliteration or already know the Hebrew letter sounds. It is very inexpensive and great value for money. I’ve found it extremely useful and I already had two Hebrew dictionaries. It achieves what it sets out to do and you do need to learn transliteration to be a good all round Hebrew scholar.
