Thank you Alice!! I am glad you enjoyed it!!
Wow this is awesome! I love how in depth you are! I just read another post where the writer went into depth teaching Hebrew. Thank you Diane! This is wonderful! ❤
Thank you Donna!!
Great phrases, and it’s nice to hear them spoken.
Thank you!!
What a cool tool! Thanks so much for sharing this! Learning Hebrew and Greek are on my list of things I would really love to do, but probably never will. Haha… but maybe you’ll teach me enough to ignite my passion enough to actually do it! So cool!
I would love to!!!!
Diane, this is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing part of your Jewish heritage with us through these lessons! I LOVE the beauty of language, and what a gift it is to be able to read the Bible in Hebrew! My husband has taken Hebrew in seminary, and now I will be able to share with him what I have learned! 🙂
That is so awesome Christin!! I will have lesson 3 coming out shortly that will start to go into the Names of God and other things that will lead up to learning some of the blessings. So you can wow him with your knowledge LOL
This was wonderful Diane, thank you! Is it possible to put the written Hebrew in with the phrases we are learning? I find the more exposure there is to the language, the easier it is to pick up. Anyway, just a thought. Thank you again for your time and care!
You mean the actual Hebrew lettering? Yes I can do that
So glad I found this site and your lessons. Been trying to study on my own.
I’m glad you found me! More lessons will be coming soon!
Thank you!! I am new to this and am so very excited to be learning about it!
Awesome!! I’m so glad!!!
