Color Coding in the Hinneh Tool Box

 ‘קידוד בצבע בארגז הכלים של ‘הנה

Color coding has been one of Hinneh’s essential methods of effectively imparting the complex Biblical Hebrew verb system.  This method is an extremely useful tool for both instructors and students, helping them to teach and learn Hebrew verbs (stem, form, root group) and enables students to read verbs in context and soundly interpret them. Throughout volumes I and II (the paperback edition or e-book), and as they progress through the Hinneh program, instructors are advised to present the verb stem paradigms, printed on sheets of different colors, to their students, while the students manually highlight verbs in the different root groups in the fully conjugated lists of frequently occurring verbs, following an assigned color scheme. Students have found this color coding method highly successful when internalizing the complexity of the material. For more on presentation of the verb system in Hinneh program, please see the two articles:

Presentation of the Hebrew Verb System in the Classroom.

With the publication of the full Hinneh New Revised edition (in both print and e- book), the new e-Tool Box, appears now in color and integrates the color coded verb tools. Color is also used in the new e-Tool Box to distinguish between the singular and the plural in the noun list, as well as between the singular-like and the plural-like in the preposition list.

Moreover, from now on, this NEW color e-Tool Box may be purchased as a separate product!

Teachers and students already following the Hinneh program, using the paperback or electronic editions will be able to enhance their teaching/learning experience with the new, multicolored, visual e-Tools projected on their classroom screen or on their own personal computer.

Teachers and students not subscribed to the Hinneh program also have a chance to benefit from this solid, rich resource. With the multicolored, detailed picture of the complex Hebrew verb system it depicts, the color e-book will effectively support and significantly enhance any introductory Biblical Hebrew program used.

Others depending on Hinneh as a reliable reference for review and consultation (Hebrew Bible teachers, Modern Hebrew teachers in elementary schools and high schools, library patrons, rabbis, clerics or laypeople in their congregations), would surely appreciate the detailed and accessible grammatical picture painted by the new Hinneh color e-Tool Box.

The new color edition of the electronic Tool Box can be purchased either:

  • as part of 3 volumes Hinneh E-Book
  • or separately as Hinneh E-Tool Box
