Isaiah 6:1-3

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1821, 30th September, 2011
I am an infant in Hebrew, going straight from a mere four quarters of relatively slow-paced Modern Israeli Hebrew to being dropped head first this quarter in a course alongside grad students of biblical Hebrew.

hebrew thursday: how to read hebrew out loud

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1732, 27th May, 2011
Yes, I realize it’s Friday. One common issue among Hebrew learners in finding out how to pronounce Hebrew.

I’ve read the first three chapters of Genesis in Hebrew (constantly referring back to the English, of course).
