PREFATORY
NOTE
This
little
volume
is
intended
for
the
use
of
persons
desirous
of
acquiring some
degree
of
facility
in the
use
of
Hebrew
as
a
spoken
language.
It
is
not
intended
as
a
text-book
for
beginners, but
rather
as
a
help
to
those
who
have
already gained
some
knowledge
of
elementary Hebrew.
The publishers have
had
specially
in
mind
the
needs
of
persons
intend-
ing
to
settle
in Palestine, or
to
go
there
as
tourists.
This is,
as
far
as
we
know, the
first
serious
effort in
this
direction made
by
the
protago-
nists
of
the
Hebrew
Revival, and,
as
such,
this
work
is no
doubt
open to
many
criticisms.
We
are
keenly
aware
of
this fact,, and
hope
that
many
suggestions
will
come from
readers
and
critics,
which
may
prove most
helpful
when a
second, more
complete and revised edition
is
published.
Due
to
many
unforeseen difficulties,
the pub-
lication of
this
volume
has been repeatedly
delayed,
and
the
apologies
of
the
authors and
publishers
are tendered
to
those
who
have
been
impatiently awaiting
its appearance.

York,
