Cynthia Said:

Can anyone tell me where I can learn Hebrew online*?

We Answered:

Well, since you have a base, you are in a MUCH better position than someone who doesn't.

I have to ask: How fluent is your family? If very, then talk with them, B'Ivrit Be'takh. In the end, actual verbal communication trumps what you will learn online. Or, see if your local JCC, Synagogue, College, University, or other has a class you can sign up for and take.

Since you do have a base, learning from online is easier. Here are a few list type sites:

http://www.my-hebrew-dictionary.com/ - It gives a word, with a picture, it's phonetic writing using Roman letters, and how it is written in Hebrew. Also, you can listen to how it's pronounced.

http://www.hebrew-verbs.co.il/ - Complete conjugation of selected verbs. It's not all the verbs you can think of, though, and it doesn't give the pronunciation nor transliteration; however, you can read, and you'll be find, considering it uses Niqqud.

http://www.hebrewonline.com/default.asp - Another list site.

http://hebrewpodcasts.com/ - For podcasts, to boost your listening comprehension.

youtube.com - Find something Israeli or Hebrew speaking there. There is actually a lot. Try finding Israeli t.v. programs or music videos, and of course there are amateur and professional teaching materials posted there as well.

whats the best way to learn HEBREW online?

We Answered:

There are many free websites out there (just google "learn Hebrew"), but I know that Rosetta Stone is one of the bests. Also, I would recommend on buying a book, which is- to me- much more helpful.

There are several "types" of Hebrew, according to the time and area where they were spoken. There is the Archaic Hebrew, the Classic Hebrew, Sephardic Hebrew, Ashkenazi Hebrew, Tiberian Hebrew, Medieval Hebrew, Modern Hebrew etc...
You'll be glad to know that all these "Hebrews" are not very different, and most of the differences are in a matter of style.

There is only one "live" dialect, and this is the Israeli Hebrew/ Modern Hebrew. This is the official language of the state of Israel and I recommend on learning it.

As for the scripts: There are two different sets of letters- both are widely used in Israel.
"Dfuss" ("block letters"): the traditional script. The bible was written in this script, and it is used in formal documents, computer communicating, newspapers, books, and any other "formal" thing.
"Khtav" ("hand-writing"): This script was developed in Ashkenazi communities (basing on the "Dfuss"), and it is much more round and "flowing". It is used in informal documents such as personal letters, notebooks, or anything else that is not made for publication, but for personal use.

It is sort of like the difference between the cursive script in English and the "printed" letters.
