hebrew grammar texts choose english or german greetings probably a tired old horse but maybe with a slightly different twist i wanted to know if there are any good english language texts for learning ancient hebrew and how these compare with german educational texts qualitywise if anybody has an idea i can t figure out if i should buy one here for later study or wait until i get back to the u s something i find interesting about studying theology in germany is the fact that the students get their ancient language learning out of the way early i m not a theology student but i spend a lot of time with such folks in their careers they take the first two years or so to just do greek and latin and hebrew possibly aramaic too who knows what s it like at divinity schools or seminaries in the states is there a lot of language instruction done i really don t have a basis for comparison regards phil philip sells is anything too hard for the lord k hobbes kzoo edu gen for better of worse we don t have the tradition of classical education in the u s so generally if a seminary believes students should know greek they have to teach it it s common for seminaries to require at least a semester each of hebrew and greek though of course more is required for serious scholarship clh
