[James Read <J.Read-2 AT sms.ed.ac.uk>]

I was planning on making my course multilingual. I would hope to  
cover, at least, the European languages. Is there any chance you could  
ask around and see if there would be any interest in a vocab driven  
course? I'm more interested in potential student's reactions than in  
Professors' reactions. My goal is to help people read the text not to  
pass a grammar exam.

> For your interest:
> In Dutch there is only one good book: J.P. Lettinga, Grammatica van het
> Bijbels Hebreeuws from Brill (1976, at least this is my edition) and as far I
> know it's used on all theological universities.
>
> Pro's: It's in the mother tongue (!!), many examples, lot of background
> information and it has a small dictionary.
> Contra's: Language is a little bit old-fashioned and it uses many   
> Latin terms.
> There is a syllabus from prof. Pieter Siebesma with many   
> explanations of these
> Latin terms and some old Dutch words.
>
> There are also some Dutch dictionaries, but I should suggest Peter D.H.
> Broers, Woordenboek van het Bijbels Hebreeuws from De Haan Boeken   
> (2007) it is
> comparable with Gesenius, but with many new additions.
>
> Most students are advised to buy besides these 2 books, the normal
> English/Hebrew grammars and dictionaries. But my experience is learning a
> foreign language via an other foreign language is difficult.
