LANG 6423 - Hebrew II

3 credits

Building on LANG 6413, Hebrew 2 develops further proficiency with the forms and uses of the Hebrew verbal system. Through continued use of spoken Hebrew, participants read many chapters of Hebrew narrative and a few psalms as they gain experience not only in translating Hebrew but also in understanding Hebrew style and idiomatic expressions. The pedagogical approach focuses on the functions of language in context, gradually building vocabulary and familiarity with the verbal system through repeated yet creative exposure to large passages of biblical text.
