@Corinnebelle , one of the links in your OP goes to a 404 (Learn Biblical Hebrew.)

I see that most of the resources you linked are aimed at Christians who wish to learn Biblical Hebrew. You might want to clarify that and separate the Christian resources from the ones that are not Christian.

The main consideration, from my point of view, is that Christian translation and understanding of Hebrew Biblical text often differs quite a bit from Jewish understanding of it.

@JudieLC That is a good idea! I personally like to learn from both. I was hoping to have this subforum named classical Hebrew, but apparently that name for that era of the Hebrew language is not well known by Jews. I don't know where that link went, it was a good one. Wish I could find it. I found something else. Thanks for letting me know. I guess you would have to search for free courses on the Tanakh to get more Jewish ones?

Yes, probably.

@JudieLC I looked up Tanakh, I didn't find many courses, did find a cool learn the alef-bet language game, I put over in the Alef-bet resources. I did find some texts. Did you try the dramatized Hebrew reading of the Tanakh? I like reading some Hebrew commentary and stuff, I like Jewish thought, I like to learn how they understand Hebrew works. After all they are the ones who should know!

I'm not aware of many courses off the top of my head, though my daughter may know of some. I haven't tried the Hebrew dramatized reading of the Tanach, no.

At the moment I'm kind of busy getting ready for Passover. It requires a lot of cleaning, making the house and especially the kitchen kosher for Passover, and a lot of shopping for Passover food. So I won't have a lot of time for other things in the upcoming weeks.

Also want to mention that people call the Hebrew of the Bible Biblical Hebrew. I don't hear the phrase classical Hebrew much the way you hear people talk about classical Greek. Though technically, I guess, Biblical Hebrew and classical Hebrew are the same thing. My preference is to call it Biblical Hebrew.

@JudieLC This is what Wiki says:

Biblical Hebrew (עִבְרִית מִקְרָאִית, (Ivrit Miqra'it) (help·info) or לְשׁוֹן הַמִּקְרָא, (Leshon ha-Miqra) (help·info)), also called Classical Hebrew, is an archaic form of the Hebrew language, a language in the Canaanite branch of Semitic languages spoken by the Israelites in the area known as the Land of Israel, roughly west of the Jordan River and east of the Mediterranean Sea. The term "Hebrew" (ivrit) was not used for the language in the Bible, which was referred to as שְֹפַת כְּנַעַן (sefat kena'an, i.e. language of Canaan) or יְהוּדִית (Yehudit, i.e. Judaean), but the name was used in Ancient Greek and Mishnaic Hebrew texts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_Hebrew

Obviously wiki isn't always up with common terms.

No problem about finding things. No pressure. I may not be searching in the right place or with the right search words. How's your foot? שבת שלום!

Yes, I saw what Wikipedia says about it.

My foot/ankle is better, still swells up if I'm on it too much. Still doing physical therapy. Thanks for asking.

I had a quick search around and I didn't find too much that's free, to be honest. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has classes in Biblical Hebrew, but they cost a lot.

@JudieLC I know mango has a Biblical Hebrew course. No idea what the religious ideology involved with it is. That would be free if you have a library that has mango. The free trial I got was quite good.

Take it easy with the ankle especially with all that cleaning for Pesach! I hope you mend well.

I'll check out the Mango course.

Did some cleaning today and my ankle seems okay. But I didn't do my ankle exercises yet, and that always causes some swelling. Thanks for the good wishes.
