Mastering Biblical Hebrew (Hélène M. Dallaire)
Mastering Biblical Hebrew Video Lectures brings the language of the Hebrew Bible to life through proven second language acquisition (SLA) methods. Moving beyond traditional grammar-translation approaches, this video series and its accompanying textbook, Mastering Biblical Hebrew: A Living Language, emphasizes interactive pedagogies that engage students in listening, speaking, reading, and writing for full language integration.
Designed for undergraduate and graduate students, along with homeschool or independent learners, this video series and textbook (sold separately) promote active, multi-sensory learning. Students experience Biblical Hebrew through oral, aural, tactile, written, and performative activities combined with grammar and syntax exercises. Each session introduces new grammatical features that are revisited throughout the sessions, reinforcing retention through meaningful practice and repetition.
The goal of Mastering Biblical Hebrew Video Lectures is to equip learners for intermediate-level reading proficiency and exegesis of the Hebrew Bible while also developing listening, writing, and speaking skills. The videos follow along with the chapters in the textbook and also include short devotional sessions centered on a passage from Scripture and instructor tips for those in a formal or online classroom setting.
