This journey (studying Biblical Hebrew) has been a wonderful experience. After my first year, I didn't think I could learn the language. However, with such encouraging teachers and their patience I have made improvement and friends that I truly treasure.
In all my dealings with E-Teacher, from initially signing up, to class time, to resolving technical and scheduling issues, all the staff I've dealt with have been amazing. Myy teachers have been not only gifted educators, but also have known how to deal with tough situations kindly, professionally, and tactfully. So far, this is an incredible experience limited only by my absorption rate!
This Course is a wonderful way to improve one's knowledge and appreciation of the Jewish times, history and reality which form an authentic background to the New Testament. I have enjoyed and looked forward to every lecture and have also appreciated the scholarship, clarity and teaching methodology of our lecturer, which in my case is Peter Shirokof. I would recommend this course to any serious student of the New Testament. It has certainly altered the way I am viewing the Gospels.
I was not quite sure what to expect when I embarked on this course, but found that the tutor's lovely patient attitude really put my fears to rest and I have enjoyed every week's lesson. After daylight savings it has been a bit brutal getting up at 4am but I continue to do so because the lessons are so good. The website is very clear and well designed and the online help is always just an email away. The sequence of studies leads us through the process of becoming familiar with Biblical Hebrew in a very logical way.
I am so pleased with the courses I am taking through eTeacher. I have taken 2 previous courses and currently taking three more consisting of internet lectures, open classes and additional seminars. All the instructors present the information clearly and allow for discussion and differing opinions on the given topic. I was quite impressed to receive an email from one instructor asking about my well being because I had missed attending her session one evening. I highly recommend these courses for content and for the personal attention the students receive from their instructors.
I started studying through eTeacher since 2012 and am in my final course of Biblical Hebrew. Throughout I got excellent support from the support team and my teachers were all highly educated and took effort and time to help their students. It was really a pleasure studying through eTeacher and will recommend it to everybody who wants to study Biblical Hebrew. They do not teach you a new doctrine, the teach you facts! Once you learn the Biblical Hebrew, a whole new world opens up and the Bible becomes more exciting than ever to read.
I am now in my second semester with eteacher Biblical, doing Biblical Hebrew B. I am very satisfied so far that every thing is done to ensure that my needs are met, both by teachers and other staff members who are all helpful and courteous. Response from Support Staff is always speedy. The class sessions are presented in a clear manner, and allow enough participation for the benefit of students. For me, doing Biblical Hebrew is a rich and enjoyable experience.
I wasn't really sure what I'd be learning when I signed up, I just knew that it would be about the geographic locations mentioned in the bible. I had no idea that I would be introduced to places in such an interesting and interactive way. We were shown places and how they looked today that were mentioned in the bible in Israel. It was fascinating to see them on old maps and then explore actual images of these places today. I felt like I could really imagine the biblical stories happening now that I saw where they took place, it was like being guided through the bible and visiting ancient lands that, to me, had always felt so far away before.
Everything about this type of learning was new to me from using headphones to participating in class via the internet. Initially I wasn't planning to do it that way. I just jumped in and started swimming and am so glad I did. I thought I wouldn't be able to keep up with the rest of the class, but we all seem to be at about the same learning level which is encouraging. Also, the teachers and staff have been patient with me and very helpful. I look forward to class each week and feel a little disappointed when the routine is interrupted by holidays.
Learning Hebrew is not easy! The most important part is to take it as a mission and never give up! The course is consistent and the exercises are helpful to me to digest what I have learned! I review before and after the class, initially it was so hard! But I overcome it and learned to read bible as well! I am thankful that the opportunity that the school have offered me, so that I can accomplish my goal of learning Hebrew! Praise the LORD!
