Hebrew Reading Improvement Class
2022-01-18 19:30, 2022-01-25 19:30, 2022-02-01 19:30 | GA
Join us every Tuesday for Hebrew Reading Improvement Class, led by Hebrew instructor, Jim Dricker. This class functions as a "drop-in" for anyone who wishes to practice reading Hebrew to improve their fluency skills. Each session will stand alone, so weekly attendance is not required. Using passages from the Hebrew prayer book and bible, participants will receive guidance on practice-reading, looking for syllables, and dealing with complex words. Though there may be some discussion about word origins, this class will not deal with the complexity of verbs, grammar, or translation. No textbook is required; the instructor will provide all material by way of screen-sharing during the Zoom session.
