Many people think that Hebrew grammar (and probably all grammar) is an annoying, boring pain to learn.<\/p>\n

I know I used to think so!<\/p>\n

It was not until after several years of serious Hebrew study that I finally figured out that Hebrew grammar was my friend.<\/p>\n

In fact, grammar, especially Hebrew grammar, is the tool that helps one learn a language much more quickly.<\/p>\n

How? Because with grammar you can learn many words every time you learn a single new vocabulary word.<\/p>\n

Here is how it works:<\/p>\n

When you know the rules of grammar you can take a new word you have learned and apply the grammar rules to it to figure out many other words that you have never even heard before.<\/p>\n

In Hebrew you just need to figure out what the root (shoresh – \u05e9\u05c1\u05b9\u05e8\u05b6\u05e9\u05c1) of a word is and then the grammar rules can usually be used to figure out dozens of new words. Sometimes over 100! <\/p>\n

So how do you want to learn the language? One word at a time, or dozens of words at a time?<\/p>\n

I know what my answer is.<\/p>\n

When I finally figured out the amazing power of Hebrew grammar, I was excited by grammar instead of being bored by it. My new friend has treated me very well ever since. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And, by the way, if you want to know how to figure out what the shoresh is of a Hebrew word — it is easy! You just need to know Hebrew grammar!<\/p>\n

The grammar rules in Hebrew are pretty complicated, but fortunately the language is very organized and there are relatively few “exceptions” compared to other languages. <\/p>\n

So get to work! Make Hebrew grammar YOUR friend and see how much easier it is to progress in your Hebrew studies.<\/p>\n
