Course Description
This course earns 0.5 elective credits
Ready to strengthen your Hebrew skills and build greater confidence in reading, understanding, and using the language? This course is designed to help you take the next step in your Hebrew learning journey.
Students are welcome at their individual level of proficiency, and instruction will build on each student’s existing knowledge and experience.
For students who have completed two semesters of Hebrew at PRS, the course begins with a review of verb conjugation in the Pa’al binyan, including the Perfect, Participle, and Imperfect forms (past, present, and future). We will also explore verbs with gutturals and other vulnerable root letters, as well as common irregular forms. From there, we will expand into additional binyanim, including Piel, Hiphil, Niphal, and Hitpael.
Whether you are looking to solidify foundational concepts or deepen your understanding of Hebrew grammar, this course will help you continue developing your skills in a supportive learning environment.
