Course Catalog Description:
For beginners whose goal is biblical or post-biblical Jewish studies or modern Israeli Hebrew. Leads to speaking, listening comprehension, and reading and writing Hebrew. Emphasizes communication proficiency. Cultural materials are incorporated.
Class Description:
Modern Israeli Hebrew seeks to serve several kinds of students. Typically, students in this course present a wide variety of backgrounds and interests, which include Jewish, or Israeli cultural studies, archaeology, linguistics, travel or work in Israel, and biblical studies. This is a course for complete beginners. You will learn basic listening, speaking, reading and writing skills with stress on proficiency in communication. Cultural materials are incorporated. The course serves as a good base for subsequent work in biblical Hebrew. The difference between this course and Hebr 1104, Biblical Hebrew, is that this course has a spoken, conversation component and prepares students to read texts without the diacritic marks. (This reading skill is necessary for those interested in reading Hebrew journal articles and post-biblical Hebrew commentaries.) The pronunciation of Hebrew taught will be the same in both courses.
