Real World Hebrew: Throwback to 1904 Posted by on Apr 26, 2013 in Learning Hebrew

 

We are going back in time when this book was published in Warsaw, Poland. This is a Hebrew primer intended for use after learning the alef-bet. It contains over 200 detailed illustrations, stories with review questions and a color chart. The pictures here are based on the copy currently housed at Yeshiva University Museum in New York City, USA

Here is the text from the cover:
הַדִּבּוּר הָעִבְרִי
סֵפֶר לִמוּד שְׂפַת עֵבֶר עַל פִּי הַשִׁטָה הַטִבעִית
(הָרִאשוֹן אַחַר הָאָלֶף־בֵּית)

Then, breaking it down into the vocabulary:

אַחַר – after
אָלֶף־בֵּית – alef-bet
דִּבּוּר – speech
טִבעִית – natural
סֵפֶר לִמוּד – textbook
עֵבֶר
עִבְרִי – Hebrew
עַל פִּי – according to
רִאשוֹן – best
שִׁטָה – the method
