We have completed our Hebrew class for this year. A new Beginning Hebrew class will convene in September, 2008. We will be posting the exact information for the class on this page in August, so if you are interested, please check back then.

We have found The First Hebrew Primer from EKS publishing to be a very useable beginning grammar. It begins by teaching the Aleph-Bet and takes the student through the basic verbal and noun systems in 30 lessons that include vocabulary, sentences, stories and biblical texts to translate.

You can click here to go directly to the EKS site and the page describing the Primer. EKS also provides an Answer Key for the Primer, as well as other materials for learning biblical Hebrew. The Primer is also available in a digital format for use on your computer (Windows only).

These are audio recordings of various exercises from Chapters 1–8 of the Hebrew Primer, read in Hebrew, so that the student can learn the correct pronunciation of the Hebrew. These are in mp3 format.
