1 | Hebrew language? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 192716 | ||
Mike - I browsed the web site; it looks interesting and legitimate. The information about the Hebrew language is probably accurate -- at least it appears to me that the people who put it together know their stuff. Learning any language well, even one's own native tongue, is difficult and calls for much study. In addition to majoring in English, I studied Latin and French in school and learned German in Germany under a tutor when I was in the military stationed in Stuttgart. I've never attempted to learn a language on my own without a teacher. I should think it would be enormously difficult to learn ancient Hebrew or any other language on the web. Such an undertaking would require a large amount of commitment and self-discipline. But if you have a knack for language, are sufficiently motivated, and are willing to shift your brain into over-drive and study hard, then go for it! If you have access to a university in your area that offers courses in biblical Hebrew or Greek, you might ought to check it out. One little caveat, if I may. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing so the old maxim goes, and one is not going to become an expert in Hebrew or anything else without many long hours of toil and sweat. Translators who become skilled enough to translate the ancient Hebrew Scriptures into English devote years to study. Now and again we have someone come on this Forum who is a self-appointed language expert based on nothing more than his ownership of a Hebrew or Greek dictionary! Please don't make that blunder. I wish you well, Mike. --Hank | ||||||

Hi Mike, I'm aware of that site also (although I'm very happy it passed inspection by Hank, one whose opinion I highly prize) and it's about as accurate as others. As you study Hebrew, you'll find some call a Yod a Yud, a Kaf a Kuf, etc., nothing major. See if there is a Messianic Jewish fellowship in your area, they very often offer Hebrew lessons, and I would imagine delving into something like that would be a lot more fun, not to mention easier, with others. My Messianic fellowship is starting up Hebrew lessons in the next month or so and I'm soooo excited!! I, too, started trying to learn Hebrew on my own (it's absolutely amazing), but needless to say, once I got the letters down and their numerical values, I kinda got stuck, so really looking forward to the classes. Good luck from me too. :-) Cheri |
