Instructor: Samantha Joo
Course Synopsis:
This online course is an introduction to basic Biblical Hebrew grammar and vocabulary. The goal is to enable you to read prose in the Hebrew Bible with aids after two quarters of lessons. So the focus of the class is to help you learn how to translate the language rather than to become a grammarian.
