Learning Hebrew

[CoUrTnEy]

1dell, I have been wanting to learn the hebrew language, but not sure where to go.. I have tried finding things in bookstores, but haven't come across much.. do you have any suggestions?

[1dell]

Sure, there are some online sites that teach it free. I'll look them up for you

May I ask where you learned it? If it was offered at a university i would take it in a heartbeat.. I did take ancient greek in college but it's been a few years and since i didnt do anything with it at the time i dont remember a thing.

I taught myself. But see, Hebrew was the 6th language I have studied. The first few languages I got instruction for either in high school or in the military.

The way I taught myself hebrew was with a book that I got, can't remember where I got it and it came with a cassette so I could hear the pronounciation of the letters and words. I studied it every other day until I it started to stick. Once I finished that book I would get a moor advanced book.


If you were to join a messianic jewish fellowship they would teach you for free, thats what Anav is doing

When I lived in New Orleans I worked with a Messianic Jew.. perhaps I could ask her about that.. I found a website or two that I might try.. perhaps I will look on amazon.com and see what I can find too.. I was just concerned with whether or not i could learn it the way you just described.. but you have seemed to do well with it. here's one of the websites i found - it has books and online learning:

Yeah thats one of my favorite websites. The good thing about them is that they teach both the modern and ANCIENT hebrew had me licking my chops

Did the "V" exist in ancient hebrew, from my studies it was really the "B"
Abram or Abrahm?

[1dell]

I am against the letter V period in hebrew. I know that the rule in modern hebrew is that the letter Beth (B) gets a V sound when it's INSIDE of a word. for example Abraham would be Avraham, but when it STARTS a word it's B as in B'rashyt.

Thanks for the site...I hope it helps me as I'm trying to learn to read and speak as well. And I REALLY need the assist. Too bad there's not a local ATL location where we go and get this teaching (or am I speaking outta turn)?

NO problem. I haven't had much time to work with that site.. really when it comes to learning languages I do better with in-class study. Perhaps I will research finding a local place to study.
