The course is designed primarily to enable you, gradually, to translate Hebrew biblical texts (the Hebrew Bible for Jews, the Old Testament for Christians) and access their original text. You will also learn to read and write this ancient language.
Biblical Hebrew is not an Indo-European language (like the Latin languages or Greek, for example) and follows its own organizational (or linguistic) logic, which must be understood step by step. Even in its rudimentary form, this language opens up a different way of thinking and constitutes a remarkable source of intellectual and cultural richness.
The course aims, firstly, to master the fundamental principles of Hebrew grammar and, secondly, to acquire a basic vocabulary enabling students to read and translate simple passages from the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament. The course also aims to progressively develop text analysis skills: identifying verb forms, noun structures, and the main particles specific to Hebrew. Historical and cultural elements may be addressed in dedicated sessions as needed.
The teaching method is based on a progressive approach (I prioritize understanding over performance), combined with attentive and caring support, using a variety of tools adapted to the expectations and profile of each student.
Finally, for the most advanced students or those already possessing a basic knowledge of biblical Hebrew, I offer an introduction to Aramaic and Syriac, sister languages of Hebrew, also present in some biblical writings.
