Expectation: As these lessons are designed to benefit those who have lost their edge since studying biblical Hebrew in the past, our expectation of you is willingness to be transparent about what you no longer remember or understand. You can expect your instructor to welcome you by being intentionally positive, constructive, and knowledgeable to help you regain what you’ve lost—and to also create an enjoyable edifying atmosphere that supports your present and future learning.
