Hi
Just found this forum on the Wikipedia site - great news!
Been learning for about a year now (using the FoundationStone course), but slow going - hopefully this forum will change all that. Struggling to build up my vocabulary really.
How did it start? Well, I visited Israel for work last summer, and got to meet up with a Jewish-born Christian who was saved as a student about 25 years ago at the local church I now attend - an amazing evening all round. Got to visit his Beth Ha'ke'heelah and listen to prayer and Bible study in Hebrew - a very special time still treasured by me and one I long to repeat.
I keep in touch with him, but he is so busy he doesn't have the time to answer my (many!) questions about Hebrew, so look out!
(Pleased to read that the previous post is written by a Christian too - Shalom Joan.)
I listen to Galei Tzahal radio as well in the hope of picking up pronunciation, but it's not really working just yet! I find their website quite helpful, as they talk about the news stories posted there in the bulletins.
Look forward to increasing my learning rate, and getting good enough to post in the Hebrew Only section!
