Summer Hebrew - Day 01

We finished our first day of Hebrew class at 12:30 today and I hadn't written down a thing! In fact, the teachers encouraged us not to write anything, even when we got back to our rooms. The key learning words this summer are: relax, enjoy, absorb.

Now, after that description it may seem like we didn't do a thing today, but in fact we were very busy. Though we knew some of the vocabulary coming into class, we interacted in a living setting with approximately 70 different Biblical Hebrew words or forms in just 4 hours.

I have some homework to do later this afternoon and then we're required to get 8 hours of sleep. Ha! How's that for homework.

Many thanks to all who are praying for our family and for my studies. Here's just one photo off my balcony of the hill-country just north-west of Jerusalem. (we're on top of one of the taller hills)
