I'm in my first year of M. Div studies at Heritage Theological Seminary in
Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.
We currently use Bibleworks 5 as the core component in Language Tools, (my
third
language course). It helped me to prepare by quickly read the transliterated
text a few times. Then I would read direct from the Hebrew text. Having
spoken
the words first helped with reading the text directly in a smoother manner.
For
each verse, I place the Hebrew text at the top of the page, then the morph
text,
then several English translations
