Biblical Hebrew Study at WIZIQ.
Power Point Presentation
In august 2010 a new Course in Biblical Hebrew will start at WIZIQ.com.
The main focus will be on reading the text from the Torah - I believe that you will understand the grammar of a language best by just reading and hearing the text explained to you. Grammar after all is not a goal in itself, just a means. You will never be called upon, probably, to speak fluent Biblical Hebrew. That's why I focus on reading more text and studying as little grammar as possible.
To prepare for the Classes on Biblical Hebrew the best thing to do is first learn the alphabet by yourself. In this post I attached the FREE power point presentation that you can use for that purpose. It is also to be found on WIZIQ.com. Just take a look at the free content.
You can also listen to the FREE VIDEO'S I made about the Hebrew Alphabet and you can apply for a session on WIZIQ if you get stuck and need assistance with the alphabet. Classes on Biblical Hebrew will start in August.
The classes will consist of readings in Tenakh, with short explanations of Biblical Hebrew Grammar, which we will keep to a minimum.
Download the FREE e-sword program at www.e-sword.net.
There is a Hebrew Bible available, and also a Hebrew Bible with Strong notes, but both only give the consonant text. I encourage you to use that program to help you read the Torah.
You would also need a version of the Torah in Hebrew with the masorectic vowels, that you can read and download here:
Most of the teaching will consist of podcasts on this site. Every week I will also take you through the text of the Torah at wiziq.com. I will schedule one hour sessions for that purpose.
Classes on the hebrew Alphabet are free. WIZIQ lectures on Biblical texts are free also.
The courses on Biblical Hebrew Grammar and avanced level Biblical Hebrew are separate and NOT FREE. I will charge 6$ per hour for these advanced level classes.
