I feel like I lost a fight. You know that feeling you get where you are overwhelmed? You don't really know what just happened, but you know you got the worst end of it?
Those were my feelings leaving Hebrew this morning. Today was the first day. Hebrew is one of the parts of Seminary I have been most excited about, and still am. I just understand that my normal academic style (read procrastination) will be of no use with this class.
I spent a couple of hours tonight familiarizing myself with the Hebrew alphabet (actually just the consonants). I can comfortably tell you the name and sound of those letters now, and with enough time and thought can recite the Hebrew alphabet in order for you. Tomorrow I need to tackle the vowel structure (yes it is a structure, they aren't just more letters) as we start pretty heavy with vocab on Friday. 10 words a day, 6 days a week, all semester. 60 words a week. Good luck me.
If you want to know some of the common biblical words in Hebrew, just ask, I'll probably even have my flash cards on hand.
