Learn Biblical Hebrew

I took three semesters of Hebrew in seminary, but I still can’t read most of the OT worth a hoot. And actually, we never finished the Thomas Lambdin textbook, so I’m going back through it, doing even the English-to-Hebrew exercises that I HATED before. I still hate them, but I want to read the OT in Hebrew more!

I love Biblical Hebrew for all its rich layers, it’s flow. I’ve been trying to find a FREE teacher with the following criteria: FREELY giving FREE services to people who can afford FREE. :c) I search all over the web yet I can’t find the right program for me. Well, please (help me to) find it anyone out there!

Yoninah Tovah (that’s a Hebrew name, and it means good little dove, or little good dove. I do not remember the correcct sequence). 20 years old.

Sure I still have around 2 months of my Hebrew class left but for practical purposes I know enough to “read” any text with a lexicon, grammar, parsing guide and time.

I’ve started taking Hebrew courses at the CAE, it’s been lots of fun and is really helping my Hebrew be more natural and intuitive instead of so analytical. It’s much more fun having conversations than parsing grammatical forms! And this week we did the Hokey Pokey. haha.

Well, I had a Hebrew exam for this on Monday and that motivated to actually get my books out and try to spend some time on study. I think it was really good and I feel a lot more motivated about learning now, even though the test itself didn’t really go very well. I’m still a bit behind and there is still a long way to go, but if I keep up the effort I’m sure I can do OK.

If I can just motivate myself to focus for more than 10 minutes at a time…
