[HANASHIR:6564] Biblical Hebrew methods of study

[Rachelle and Howard Shubert <notfranz...>]

In preparation for cantorial entrance exams, I have registered for the only 
university-level Biblical Hebrew course available in the area, only to find 
that it will be taught from a book with transliterations alongside the Hebrew.  
The teacher, who is a Christian grad. student, is not particularly fluent in 
the reading of the language, although she understands the words and is 
qualified to teach grammar and translation.  I am giving consideration to 
trying to find a Jewish scholar and studying  privately.  If anyone who has 
studied Biblical Hebrew can share an illuminating experience which could help 
me decide, I would appreciate it.  This is pretty specific advice I am seeking, 
so please e-mail me privately.

Thanks,
Rachelle Shubert
