Course features

Thanks to all of you that took your time to fill out our survey on the sample lesson.

To clarify:  While the sample lesson shows the way we plan to teach the verses (p’sukim), there is a LOT more that is going to be in the course.  A lot.

Though many people made specific requests in the survey for additional features, I am very happy to say that many of them are already part of our vision of how the course will work.  Of course there is a limit to how much we can add, but here is a partial list of what we are planning (NO PROMISES YET).

  • A full pronunciation guide of all Hebrew letters and vowels
  • A link to a discount for our Instant Hebrew course, for learning to read Hebrew fast
  • A list of the most important vocabulary words from the lesson for memorization
  • A summary of important grammar rules from the lesson
  • A link to a 3rd-party product that will allow the students to speed up or slow down the videos
  • Archives of old lessons
  • A support forum with help from bilingual Hebrew Bible experts and the other students

Did I forget anything?  I probably did!

Are you excited about the course yet?  WE ARE!

First Sample Lesson — Feedback welcome!

Awesome news: Here is a sample lesson for our new course. Please give us your feedback in the comments!

Some important notes before you begin:

1) There are two versions below. They are identical, but one is Flash and one is a .wmv. Which works better for you?

2) In the actual course the video will probably be split up into 2 or 3 different parts, so one can do just the reading part or just the translation parts by themselves.

3) Some of the intro remarks are for this sample only to give you an idea what we are doing. We will move most/all of the intro stuff into a separate video in the course itself.

4) We are planning on listing selected grammatical points covered in the lessons in a separate video or file for easy review.

Flash-based (like YouTube; can be sped up or slowed down using the cool MySpeed Plugin from Enounce.com):
