Definitely NOT

Revisado: 02-10-06

I can already speak a little Hebrew. I bought this audio book thinking it would be similar in nature to Pimsleur's approach or one of the "On the Move" or "Learn in your car" type programs. Instead, right from the start, there is very inappropriate and annoying Western classical music playing in the background, which has absolutely NOTHING whatsoever to do with Israeli culture or with creating a setting conducive to remembering anything specifically about Hebrew. On top of this muzak-garbage is a completely useless, random spouting of vocabulary words that have nothing whatsoever to do with each other, create no theme, are not presented in any way which might encourage memorization or incorporation into practical conversation, and have no provision for repetition or use in context. This is the most useless "beginner's" language learning tool I have ever come across and if it had been more expensive, I would have complained and demanded a full refund. I imagine that maybe a year from now after my ability to carry on basic conversations is more solid, I might be able to use this audiobook by hitting the pause button after every single word and repeating it, using it in a sentence, doing ANYTHING besides what VocabuLearn provides to help me "remember" these words. We will see if this thing ever proves useful.
