Making Hebrew Fun

A review of the Hebrew Tutor, CD-ROM, Torah Educational Software, $49.95

By Ariel Bard

This program was fun and challenging because it offers a chance to test your knowledge while having to beat a clock. It makes you use your brain and has a series of levels — Beginner, Immediate or Advanced and Low, Medium or High skill — that can challenge users who know relatively little Hebrew vocabulary and those who have greater knowledge. It is possible to play alone or with a friend. The two-player options are called Ping-Pong and Lightning. Since there are only two games to play, Hebrew Tutor or Mini Tutor, it can get old fast. For a short time, however, kids 9 and up will have fun and bolster their Hebrew vocabularies.
