BEGINNING BIBLICAL HEBREW: Levels A | B | C | D | E | F

HEB101A – Beginning Biblical Hebrew, Level A

HEB101A

Registration for HEB101A includes access to all of the material used in Living Biblical Hebrew: Foundations, as well as all additional resources needed for the course.

Beginning Biblical Hebrew, Level A introduces learners to the basics of the Hebrew language in an engaging and interactive way. Starting from the absolute beginning level, Hebrew will be used for at least 90 percent of all communication that takes place, which will increase in complexity as the course progresses. Learners will describe pictures, express ideas, read and discuss texts, and ask one another questions in order to obtain information, all with a focus on immediate comprehension in Hebrew, and not via translation. This forces learners to think in the language right from the start, building the necessary foundation for fluent reading. Noun and verb morphology and syntax patterns for biblical Hebrew narrative are introduced implicitly and contextually absorbed. For homework, learners will continue their immersive experience as they work through video and audio material in Hebrew, reading exercises, and assessment quizzes that measure the learner’s progress. Between the homework and the live classes, learners will be exposed to the breadth of the language, including singular and plural nouns, adjectives, participles (present tense), qatal (past tense), vayyiqtol (sequential past tense), imperative, and number and gender concord.

HEB101B - Beginning Biblical Hebrew, Level B - Prerequisite: HEB101A

HEB101B

Beginning Biblical Hebrew Level B continues building on the communicative foundation laid in Level A, but begins introducing the grammatical structures of biblical Hebrew via dialogue and verse memorization, audio-lingual drills, vocabulary stories, text comprehension audio, and annotated readings, all intended to give learners basic fluency—both spoken and reading—in the Hebrew language and a working knowledge of the foundations of Hebrew grammar. Hebrew will be used for at least 90 percent of all communication that takes place, as learners describe pictures, express ideas, read and discuss texts, and ask one another questions in order to obtain information, all with a focus on immediate comprehension in Hebrew, and not via translation. Pronouns, interrogatives, verbless clauses, word order in Hebrew narrative, and an introduction to and summary of all the Hebrew verb forms and functions, including several of the most common weak roots, will be covered, as well as Jonah 1:1–3 and three vocabulary stories. (Note: while all five major binyanim/stems have and will continue to be used, each binyan will be considered in more detail in subsequent levels.)

GRK101A – Beginning Koiné Greek, Level A

GRK101A

Beginning Koiné Greek Level A introduces learners to the basics of the Greek language in an engaging and interactive way, based on our newly revised curriculum. Starting from the absolute beginning level, Greek will be used for at least 90 percent of all communication that takes place, which will increase in complexity as the course progresses. Learners will describe pictures, express ideas, read and discuss texts, and ask one another questions in order to obtain information, all with a focus on immediate comprehension in Greek, and not via translation. This forces learners to think in the language right from the start, building the necessary foundation for fluent reading. Noun and verb morphology and syntax patterns for Koiné Greek are introduced implicitly and contextually absorbed. For homework, learners will continue their immersive experience as they work through video and audio material in Greek, reading exercises, and assessment quizzes that measure the learner’s progress. Between the homework and the live classes, learners will be exposed to the foundational elements of the language, including singular and plural nouns in all four cases, adjectives, present indicative (both active and middle/passive), aorist indicative, imperative, and number/gender/case concord.

GRK101C – Beginning Koiné Greek, Level C – Prerequisite: GRK101B

GRK101C
Greek Level C introduces increasingly complex verb forms that expand your ability to talk about everyday activities. Language tasks such as getting oneself washed up and dressed in preparation for a dinner party as well as throwing a dinner party are taken from ancient Greek-Latin conversation manuals (details here) in order to provide authentic language communication. New Testament texts that parallel the vocabulary and language structures learned in the curriculum will be introduced. Participants learn approximately 100 lexemes in roughly 370 inflected forms and demonstrate a working knowledge of the following grammatical topics: verbs—present middle/passive indicative (sing. & pl.), imperatives (mid./pass. sing. & pl.) with an increased emphasis on the semantic distinction between active and middle/passive forms, periphrastic constructions with perfect passive participles (e.g., ἐνδεδυμένος εἰμί), and infinitives with an emphasis on the aspectual distinction between present and aorist forms.
