RE: Pictures: Self-Contained Hebrew workbook

shalom Mark,

The response of people who actually use the picture material
in Living Biblical Hebrew for Everyone
is heart-warming.

Here is a comment from a 60-year old lady I received this week:

"Regarding our Biblical Hebrew, we are serious about our language
course, and continue to work on it daily. I am so thrilled as to its
simplicity and effectiveness. It is very rewarding. "

Another comment, this week, from someone working with children
(parentheses mark the ages of the kid!):

"Book One has been very rewarding. David (8)
and Joy (6) have at least an 80% mastery through lesson #3. I took them
aside individually and went over each line of three and asked them which of
these says ___. With Hannah (3), it is more difficult for me to tell what
she knows. I would say she has about 35-40% of lesson #1 "

Well, maybe three years old is too young to expect compelling results!

In any case, the picture listening system actually works like a real human
language. It engages students in a way that grammar/translation simply
can't. Plus students learn at a faster rate, about double.

Your biggest problem will be price, (3 CDs cost money to produce)
but if you are running a group there are group/bookstore prices available.

At the heart of the Biblical Language Center is the idea that learning
to read biblical texts in the original languages is a normal human
activity, for all those "created in the image".
Finding methods that actually work and that lead to
internalization of the languages is our job.
