Description Hebrew - Learn as you read Complete teach-yourself set, including audio cassette A SEAN advanced course Hebrew - Learn as you Read is a carefully programmed course of ten lessons in which the student learns the basic principles of the language while studying the Hebrew text of Genesis. If done intensively, this course can be completed in ten weeks! It is a totally self-instructional method of becoming familiar with the Hebrew characters, text, pronunciation and grammar for the complete beginner. Accuracy monitored by the Rev A Motyer, M.A., B.D. Objectives On completing this course you will be able to: 1. Read the creation narrative in the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 1:1 to 2:3), using the pronunciation of modern Hebrew, and understanding all you read. 2. Continue studying Hebrew in a more traditional form with the satisfaction of having already broken the back of the difficult initial stages of mastering the strange characters, grammatical forms and pronunciation. Course materials 1. A lesson book with 10 self-instructional lessons Containing from one to two weeks' home study. Modern type face is used for the Hebrew characters in the Lesson Book. 2. A Hebrew reading book, consisting of: a) the Hebrew text of Genesis 1:1 to 2:3, with interlinear pronunciation and translation into English, and with other useful helps, such as notes, code numbers and root identification. The Hebrew characters used in this reading book are from the British and Foreign Bible Society's Hebrew text, by their kind permission. b) a coded vocabulary of all the Hebrew words (both Hebrew to English and English to Hebrew) which appear in this passage, with their references. c) The answers to the tests; to be used as feedback AFTER doing each test. 3. Audio cassette An audio cassette recording of the passage allows the student to read the passage aloud with modern pronunciation. 4. Five revision charts Setting out the simple points of grammar needed to understand the passage studied, these can be hung in a prominent place for constant reference.
