BOSTON & TEL AVIV, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)–eTeacher Group announced the immediate availability of eTeacher’s Biblical Hebrew application for iPhone and iPad users offering 30 Biblical Hebrew lessons free of charge.
“One of our key goals is to work with students in the ways they most want to work – whether through computer, audio podcasts, repetition exercises or ‘on the go’ learning”
Recorded and taught by Sigal Zohar, one of eTeacher’s leading Biblical Hebrew teachers, each lesson is four to five minutes long and provides an introduction to eTeacher’s Biblical Hebrew program.
Lessons focus on teaching the Hebrew alphabet and Hebrew grammar through various verses from the Old Testament. The purpose of the lessons is to enable students to read the Bible in its original language and to gain a deeper understanding of the Biblical text.
“One of our key goals is to work with students in the ways they most want to work – whether through computer, audio podcasts, repetition exercises or ‘on the go’ learning,” said Boaz Binnun, co-CEO of eTeacher. “We believe this approach helps students learn new languages in small doses, just as they did when they were children, making them more comfortable to then move on to more intense study.”
