Chaim was discussing a Hebrew Club...
« on: July 30, 2007, 12:30:44 PM »
I think that is an excellant idea! I really should learn hebrew and doing some sort of online club sounds perfect! Anyone want to do this? Organize this? Ideas?

I would join it for sure.  The member Dexter has already taught me lots of Hebrew and he LOVES to teach Hebrew, he thinks it's fun.  He could join the group and teach us Hebrew because his English skills are good enough.  I'll let him know and see what he thinks about this idea.
"The Jews will eventually have to face up to what you're dealing with here.  The arabs will never love you for what good you've brought them.  They don't know how to really love.  But hate!  Oh, G-d, can they hate!  And they have a deep, deep, deep resentment because you have jolted them from their delusions of grandeur and shown them for what they are-a decadent, savage people controlled by a religion that has stripped them of all human ambition . . . except for the few cruel enough and arrogant enough to command them as one commands a mob of sheep.  You are dealing with a mad society and you'd better learn how to control it."

if a hebrew teaching club beings, please let me know. I would like to also learn conversational Hebrew and learn how to read and write better as well.

So far I can read Hebrew well with the vowels, and can form a few sentences. That's about it.

I'm pretty much where you're at dannycookie.  I know lots of words but I don't know the structure well at all.

Not to worry Shoshana, we've all gotta start somewhere.   ;)

I think that there are plenty of people on here who are at nearly the same level of Hebrew so this would probably work out really great!

It was over instant messaging sessions.  He's a master of Hebrew.

if the instant messaging is over AIM (aol), mine is obviously dannycookie57.

No, he doesn't have AIM.  One good option for us would be the program Skype.  It's free and we could set up group chat rooms as well as group voice chat rooms where all of us would be able to speak to each other in a virtual "classroom".  It works with Hebrew so we could work on our spelling and writing and vocab in the typing chat rooms, and our pronunciation and speaking in the voice chat room.  I also believe that there is a way to do a combination of both voice and text.

It might be a hassle though for everyone to find a time where we can all get on Skype together.
Good idea though we'll have to figure all this out.
I don't have AIM either.

I'm in Europe. I would also like to join the Hebrew club if some common time could be found.

I speak Hebrew fluently and used to live in Israel for 3 years. I was there a total of 18 times.



Wow Yacov, you've outdone me, I think I've (only) been there around 10 times.  Are you saying that you'll be available some time to help tutor people?

why don't we set a time on the jtf chat?  I'm not sure how the class coudl be tought...

OR why not match partners..one that knows Hebrew really well and another that doesn't really konw much.


OR

Why dont' we list everyone's ability to the following categories:

1. Don't know squat
2. I'm ok at reading Hebrew with vowels but need more practice
3. I can read Hebrew with the vowels but struggle without them
4. I can read but dont' understand a single word
5. I can understand a little bit, but i want to learn more
6. I can speak Hebrew and perhaps read it too.


I'm category #3. So i can help anyone in category 1 and 2.

For whatever reason Java won't download on my computer. I have a new windows Vista and I'm not sure why this is so if yall do chat I won't be able to do it that way. The partner idea is a fine idea. Or we someone who speaks hebrew well could start out with the basics and send it in a group email.
My level of ability is 1.

I have the same problem. There is a version of Java that's supposed to work for my system.....but it won't download either. It's infuriating.
