The drils are very very good. The book, of course, is superb. I highly recommend it.

Everything necessary to learn the language on one’s own is provided." As a student of several dead languages (Hebrew, Greek, and Latin), I've found that there is nothing more essential than a good teacher to interact with. In a real sense, the material is all one needs to gain the fundamentals, but there are always those questions that remain unanswered which if answered could make it all fit together. When I worked through Mounce and Wallace, I also purchased several other grammars in order to see how others approached the subjects. Often I found that those pieces missing from one were supplied by another. A good teacher often has all the grammars and has consulted them often. He will be able to help his students approach each subject from a multitude of angles in the hope that one of the approaches will stick. Looks like it's time to discard my old Fuller binders and get the real deal. Warmly, CT I agree with everything written here except this, “Theoretically, this method could be used by those not enrolled in a Hebrew course at an institution.
