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

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.

Beginning Biblical Hebrew Level D continues building on the communicative and grammatical foundation laid in Levels A, B, and C, but expands learner’s understanding of the Hebrew verbal system and develops greater fluency—both spoken and reading—through intentional fluency building activities. Dialogue and verse memorization, audio-lingual drills, vocabulary stories, text comprehension audio, and annotated readings will also be used to increase learners’ grammatical knowledge of and intuitive understanding of the the Hebrew language. Hebrew will be used for at least 90 percent of all communication that takes place, as learners describe pictures, express ideas, read, discuss, and summarize texts, and ask one another questions in order to obtain information, all with a focus on immediate comprehension in Hebrew, and not via translation. More time will be given to student production of the language and fluency building. Word order with verbs, infinitives and infinitives with suffixes, the nif’al binyan, and stative verbs will be covered, as well as Jonah 1:9–2:3, 11 and two corresponding vocabulary stories
