 I am currently enrolled in Level C (third year) Biblical Hebrew. I have taken Hebrew at my synagogue and also attended Hebrew Ulpan (intensive language school) two times in Israel as well as trying to learn on my own. eTeacher is by far the most effective for me. The pace is perfect, not too much and not too little and the teachers are the best – and very patient. Having class in the privacy of my home is also a big...

 My husband and I have been to Israel four times. But not until I took the Historical Geography class last month made the Bible come alive! It was like visiting Israel in 3-D. Bible stories took on more meaning when I realized how the geography of the Land impacted the events. I felt like I was living our history in a virtual world. Absolutely wonderful. Now I can't wait to go back to Israel to walk through the river wadi's, explore...

 I love the Bible in English.... I wanted to know more about the language behind the Old Testament to make sure that what I was reading in my Bible was correct. I wanted to know about the ancient people of Israel who are God's chosen race so I looked to see what I could learn and where I could learn it.

I googled and found many sites that said they could teach me Biblical Hebrew.... confusion..... eTeacher responded to my request for more information by taking the time to...

 When I was a child in Toronto in the 50s and already attending "Sunday School," my parents gave me the option of going to Hebrew School as well. What with Sunday School, regular school, and music lessons, I decided enough was enough, and I said no thank you. After running away from Judaism and returning to the fold some 30 years later, I wanted to learn Hebrew. Over the years, I studied Hebrew calligraphy, and loved the feel of making the letters. I still do! I started several Hebrew...

 I am currently taking Biblical Hebrew with eTeacher and it has been a journey from my limited perspective to a vast wealth of understanding. It is so enjoyable! I enjoy my teacher Sigal Zohar. I love just taking the course because unlike other classes you may take that it is based on how well you do, this class is to assist you in learning.

I feel my teacher's goal is to assist me to understand and test my knowledge not see how good of a student I am, but to see where I...

 Currently I am studying Biblical Hebrew with Sigal Zohar. I have studied with other e-teachers in the past. Each time I "tune in" I feel like I am transported to a garden in Jerusalem.

I would love to visit a real garden in Jerusalem but for now it is very beautiful to "smell the flowers" as the words are pronounced in flowing Hebrew. Every now and then there are some weeds (mistakes that I make) that need to be pulled up, but the scent of the sentences...

 I signed up for the Biblical Hebrew course (Level A) back in 2008. I had zero knowledge of Hebrew then. My class started with 5 students but 1 dropped out after the very 1st lesson and a 2nd one dropped out not too long after that. The 3 of us who remained have kept together since, sticking together as a class and going on to each subsequent level together. We've been together now for the last nearly 4 years and are now more than 1/2 way through Level D. At the start of...

 Even after having studied both modern and Biblical Hebrew for years, eTeacher registered me in Biblical Hebrew B. One might wonder why I was not registered in C or D.

The answer is simple -- without living in Israel, we do not have the opportunity to practice. By making Aliya, daily interactions would be mostly in Hebrew. We would visit the חנות מכלת or the שוק or the בית המידרש, all the while speaking in Hebrew. So when will we make Aliya? ... ולי בשנה הבאה לירושלים...

 Studying with  eTeacher was stiff with certain amusing events that transpired which led me into enrolling to it. For as much it might not be appropriate to mention them here, I would stick to what has been asked what to write.

It is quite dramatic as I find it,  curiosity  was not the reason, honestly, I have a profound  personal  attachment to the Word of G_d. Recalling all...
