Have been reading and enjoying your blog for several years and look forward to what you have to share. This is the first time to make a comment and hope that it might be helpful.<br /> Ten years ago we began attending a Messianic Jewish congregation where we began learning about the foundation of our faith and participated in 4 Hebrew classes. The last session was by far the most helpful due to the teaching materials used. This was Biblical Hebrew not to be confused with conversational Hebrew.<br /> The materials used were:<br /> 1)"The First Hebrew Primer: the Adult Beginner's Path to Biblical Hebrew, Third Edition" and can be used in a group or for self study. It begins with the very basics and builds from there. The first ten lessons provide the basics needed for scripture study.<br /> 2) The "Complete Jewish Bible" translated by Dr. David Stern from the perspective of a Messanic Jew with many informative insights found in the Introduction.<br /> 3)The Stone Edition of the Tanach (the Torah, Prophets and Writings). It is the writings of what is called the Old (Foundation)Testament. It also offers much insight in the Preface and Appendices. The pages are written with Hebrew being used on the right hand page and English on the left hand page with comments offered as needed at the bottom of the page. (Note: It reads from what we think of as Back to the Front.)<br /> May you be blessed in your study of His language.<br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-50217654520554696582017-04-02T08:10:45.509-07:002017-04-02T08:10:45.509-07:00I want to lean Chinese, I like the foodI want to lean Chinese, I like the foodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-17980689488124303222017-04-01T20:42:07.814-07:002017-04-01T20:42:07.814-07:00שׁלום אנולה! בצלחה וכול הקבוד עם השיעורים שלך ישו...שׁלום אנולה! בצלחה וכול הקבוד עם השיעורים שלך ישוע הוא יברכך אותך ואני סמחה מאוד בשבלך אנחנו אוהבים אתכם<br />מכב...:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-37906428120670992502017-03-28T20:41:10.426-07:002017-03-28T20:41:10.426-07:00I've enjoyed reading the Orthodox Jewish Bible...I've enjoyed reading the Orthodox Jewish Bible (a messianic full text) at Bible Gateway.

Rosetta Stone will teach you Modern Hebrew, rather than Biblical Hebrew. And large portions of the OT(the Book of Daniel, for example) are written in Aramaic, the everyday language that Jesus spoke. And while Aramaic is similar & is written using Hebrew letters it is a very different languageAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-13170273868310645512017-03-28T16:27:20.842-07:002017-03-28T16:27:20.842-07:00My mother learned at a late age and when she died ...My mother learned at a late age and when she died I brought all her stuff home.

Hebrew is VERY different.<br /><br />One thing I will suggest: when you get far enough along to puzzle out Scripture verses (with help from an English parallel - for this purpose, I found the KJV and the "old" Revised Standard the best), choose a few short Psalms. Write them out, and read/pray one of them every day. That keeps my mind connected with the language and the Hebrew way of thinking even if that is all of the Hebrew that I do that day (which is most often the case), and over time, this handful of psalms becomes very familiar. Writing it out seems to be an important part of it; there is something about simply making the Hebrew letters and words.<br /><br />A more general comment: I love your blog, and read it regularly. God's blessings be with you all.Castanea_dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041129689248653381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-11066350907477817682017-03-27T19:07:43.240-07:002017-03-27T19:07:43.240-07:00God bless you.God bless you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
