Hi everyone:

 

Here’s the collation for Exercise One from Weingreen. Even though some

of the material in the textbook up to this point was a little difficult,

the exercises were pretty straightforward. If anyone has any questions

or comments at all – either about the Exercises or about any of the

material covered so far – please don’t hesitate to post them to the list

(selfstudyhebrew@yahoogroups.com). I may have a few which I’ll post

either tomorrow or Motzei Shabbos. I apologize for the awkward

transliteration.

 

Next up: Exercise Two, Hebrew-to-English, pp. 30-31, due May 2. Anyone

is welcome to join at any time. Please see the group’s website for

details: http://www.oocities.org/berelbeyer/index.html.
