Grammar Rules are Better

I greatly benefited from Mounce's Greek Grammar and have greatly enjoyed the same approach applied to Hebrew. Learning grammatical rules as opposed to massive paradigms speeds up learning and enables longer memory retention.

Learning the basics

This is an excellent companion for the book by the same authors, "Basics of Biblical Hebrew. I hated homework as a kid and now I am excited to do the exercises in the workbook. Sometimes it takes a little thought to figure out what is required. But all in all, it is very helpful in cementing the lessons into our brains. I recommend this workbook in conjunction with the reference book mentioned above.

Simple and easy

Pratico & Van Pelt provide a concise starting point for Biblica Hebrew. To utilize this book to its fullest you must read the footnotes. It does lack some of the standard terms for the sake of convenience. Its layout is easier than Kelly's Intro to Biblica Hebrew but maintains some of the key terms that are utilized in Joüon's Biblica Hebrew Grammar.

A good starting point and used in several undergrad and graduate programs.
