Course structure and goals

Even grammatical topics are taught within the framework of some of the Bible’s most compelling stories. By the end of the term, students will possess a basic vocabulary, be able to read and pronounce all the letters and vowels of the alphabet, and have a working knowledge of the language’s elementary syntactical features. Last but not least, you will acquire a deep sense for the original Hebrew meanings of the Biblical stories.

I am thoroughly enjoying my Biblical Hebrew class with Beth. It has been very helpful for me to be able to work on this material without the pressure of grades or trying to take five other academic courses simultaneously.
Andrew More, South Carolina, USA -
I have a wonderful teacher. She is so patient and I love the way she explains each lesson. I re-play the recording of my class at least once a week, sometimes 2 or 3 times. The recordings have been a hugh help to my learning Hebrew.

I have to acknowledge that with the help of Malka as a remarkable teacher I became able to read the text... her dedication together with her patience to my questions and comments which exceeds hundreds and she answered the same diligently and with utmost accuracy as she could.

I am still hanging in there with much encouragement from my brilliant and long suffering, patient, teacher Netanel. Thank you Netanel and eTeacher for providing this course. God bless you, with love, Shalom. A very grateful student.
Helen Jean Dooley, Ontario, Canada -
I am learning so much about the history of the Hebrew language, and our instructor Stephen is very patient, and an outstanding instructor. I am also learning how the Old Testament comes together in Hebrew and the English languages. I look forward to the coming weeks of study and being able to read and speak in Hebrew.
Harry Wilkin, St. Petersburg, Florida -
If such a treasure as reading the original words given to us in God's word could possibly be measured, its value would surpass all the mysteries and beauty of life, and no pursuit could equal its knowledge. Every class I attend, each week, unlocks a little more of this incredible gift to all of us and I cannot begin to express how amazing it is to be learning this treasure's beauty. Thank you E-teacher for teaching me.
John Harrison, Alaska, USA -
The teacher was very helpful and covered everything very well. Everything was explained and presented very well.

Curtis McCorkle is a great teacher, and I enjoy the classes tremendously! I will be visiting Israel for the second time during September, and can't wait to be there once again. I love Israel and the chosen people of God with all my heart!
Anneliese Giezing, South Africa -
The history lessons accompanying the language tuition are unreall - they provide a platform for confidence in the the preservation of not only the 'word' but of accurate history as well so all the information is great! Can't wait till next week - two a week would be good. Many thanks!

As always, Luke Miller carefully explains Hebrew very well and at a very good, slow pace so we all can keep up. He is always patient and never intimidating. His ego does not show.
