📖
Read and translate the entire first chapter of Genesis, straight from the original Hebrew text
Read the Bible as it was written
Read the Bible in the original Hebrew. Really read it!
In 8 fascinating weeks, you'll read and translate the first chapter of Genesis, בְּרֵאשִׁית (B-Reh'SHeeYT — “in the beginning”), straight from the original Hebrew text!
Wherever you're starting from, you are in exactly the right place :) Brand new to Hebrew? We begin at the very first letter, and nothing is assumed. Already reading a little with me? Wonderful, you'll feel it all click into place and then carry you further than you thought you'd go! Either way, by the end you won't be reading ABOUT Genesis. You'll be reading Genesis.
Here's what you'll be able to do (yes, really!)

How it works
Step 1
You're reading the Bible from Lesson 1!
Not someday, not after months of drills. I teach you just a couple of letters and a vowel, and right away you read a real word of Genesis. A few marks in and you're reading בְּרֵאשִׁית (B-Reh'SHeeYT — “in the beginning”); a few more and בָּרָא (BahRah' — “created”). You build the very first verse of the Bible, word by word, as you learn!
Step 2
A method that actually sticks.
You hear every word pronounced until the sounds feel like second nature, practice on a simple worksheet, and lock it in with a short quiz. This is the structure that turns “I could never keep the letters straight” into “wait, I just READ that!”
Step 3
Memory tricks that do the remembering for you.
The very tricks that have carried tens of thousands of students from “I'll never learn this” to reading real Hebrew.
Step 4
Go at exactly your pace!
The course is laid out as 8 weeks of short lessons, two a week, so it never feels like too much. But it's completely self-paced with lifetime access, so fly through it in a few sittings or take a whole year. YOU are in charge :)
