Learn Hebrew - Ma Kore

This is a great beginning to an app. The native speaker is accurate and authentic, the app includes useful words and phrases and explains important things within the 'lesson' portion, includes masculine and feminine identification where applicable, and it is easy to use. However, the app seems to consistently misspell words when the letter שׁ 'shin' should be used and replaces them with the letter שׂ 'sin,' and then uses the seen pronunciation in the English transliteration. It's not a problem if you're familiar with Hebrew but should be corrected and also note that the native speaker correctly pronounces the word despite the erroneous transliteration and spelling. There is a problem with my iPad, the shwa (ְx) is not displayed correctly in the update, instead it displays the (ִx) hireq. This is also the case for all the other vowel points that extend more than one dot below the consonant such as the kibbutz and segol. Simply put, the program is cutting off the bottom of the vowels and this needs to be fixed on my iPad, but again this is only on my iPad and my iPhone displays the vowels correctly. Please do a verb app for Hebrew like you did for Spanish!!!

It figures, the only reason I got the app was because I wanted to learn some travel phrases, but those require in app purchases.

Love this, I am having a great time learning Hebrew!

Great app for learning Hebrew. The best of its kind that I have tried. I wish I had discovered it earlier. You get access to some lessons for free, and then pay $10 if you want full access, which seems fair, and lets you try it out before committing the money. My suggestion for the developer is that the flash card quizzes (which are great; love hearing the words voiced by a native speaker) also go in the other direction of seeing the word in English and choosing the Hebrew translation. I have not tried this app yet on an iPhone 6 or 6+, only on my iPhone 5. So if it DOES effectively use the increased screen space of the new devices that would be a help.

While I may have just started; I have found this to be extremely helpful. Learning this language is one of my top priorities and have finally found one of the best, easy to use tools for learning it. It allows you to read it, hear it, and much more. I am so grateful I found this it is a must have for anyone who wants to learn!
