Testimonials
-
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! Pierce Donna, Inervall, Australia
A Few Words About Me
As an undergraduate, Annie concentrated on Biblical Hebrew, Judaic Studies, and archaeology in preparation for future graduate work in Near Eastern archaeology. She continued her study of Biblical Hebrew at the University of Chicago, where her graduate specialization in Syro-Palestinian archaeology of the Bronze and Iron Ages was further supplemented with study of Aramaic and Akkadian cuneiform. She has excavated in both Turkey and Israel, and her Master’s thesis presented research on the goddess Asherah in ancient Israelite religion.
