Language material available:
*****
Living Biblical Hebrew for Everyone,
Volume One with 3 CD's
by Randall Buth
(Jerusalem Perspective, 1999)

It is 1000 pictures with audio descriptions in Biblical Hebrew. The book
can only be used with the audio CDs (or cassettes), and the audio CDs can
only be used
with the book. The method is fun and leads a person to start thinking
directly in Biblical Hebrew. It is useful for teenagers, non-English
speakers, English speakers, graduate students and people who have already
started learning through reading and a second language. It awakens the
student to what it means to internalize the language and leads them through
the first door in a way that reading a book can't.
After the student has learned the 1000 pictures through "immersion", a
recorded, self-discovery process teaches reading the alphabet/'phonics' and
then the written transcripts of the 1000 pictures are read and studied.
Instructions for printing Hebrew and an index of vocabulary are also
included.
Pronunciation is "mizraHi Israeli Hebrew" (i.e. standard 5-vowel israeli
plus `ayin and Het)
This is an opportunity for anyone who would like to thoroughly learn
Biblical Hebrew and who would like to "step inside the language".

How to order?
Volume One with 3 CDs is $65 (the same with cassettes is $60)
plus air mail shipping
to Europe is $10,
to US or Africa is $12,
to East Asia, Australia or South America $15

[[ How does one continue?
Currently, a 216-page Volume Two covers Jonah and Ruth with an
audio-lingual course. Each lesson has a required dialogue to memorize, many
drills, interspersed grammar notes in English, annotated and fully glossed
readings of the Biblical text, and a written assignment. Discourse and
literary notes are included in the annotations. Each lesson is fully
recorded on cassette. (English is required for Volume Two, though a
Korean version is already in development.) This 11 cassette course (beta
version) is awaiting laboratory time to be recorded on 6 CDs. "Beta version
Volume 2" is $65, Volume Two with 6 CDs [available as soon as a recording
arrangment can be made] will
be $120? ]]
