It's Greek to Me!

I am sorry I have not blogged recently. Homework has kept me quite busy (and a sick cat). Recently, I have been spending a lot of time looking at Seow's A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew.

I love my Hebrew class! The first 5 lessons we spent immersing ourselves in the Hebrew language (similar to a Spanish class where the teacher says something, you repeat and then learn the meaning). But those five classes are over... and now we are looking at the written language.

Ever heard the saying "It's Greek to me!" Seriously, I wish I could say it was that simple! The language may look different but it definitely is not Greek! (although the Hebrew "gimmel" does look a lot like a Greek "lambda").

I am not struggling... yet. But there has been lots of iPod flashcard studying recently and there is plenty more of that to come. I wish learning biblical languages were a little easier! Too bad they are mostly dead languages!
