Join a summer course in Ethiopia to learn to read Biblical Hebrew and master the fundamental skills of Biblical Hebrew beginning with an intensive course in Addis June 30-July 4.

 

The course

Participants will learn to read Genesis 1 in a week. Successful learners will be admitted to an online course with local instruction over the next eight weeks in order to learn Biblical Hebrew in Amharic. Successful learners can get a certificate upon successful participation. 

The Online Professor’s new and improved learning solution will now help Ethiopian students to learn Biblical Hebrew during the summer at their own pace during the summer. It is a precondition that they complete an intensive course with full time participation. Learners continue part time and online at their own pace during the summer until around September 1 when they can get a certificate based on their actual skills.

The upstart intensive week will be offered June 30-July 4 at the Evangelical Theological College in Addis Abeba. The Online Professor will direct the intensive course in person from 9-16 in collaboration with teaching assistant Tigtistu Lobisso and possibly other advanced students.

The team will help language learners to use Bible Online Learner in hands-on activity based on our own successful learning experience and experience from decades of development of the most successful and instructive solution for learning Biblical Hebrew fast, easily and effectively.

The vision for the mission

The Online Professor is working independent of local institutions in Ethiopia in order to offer Biblical Hebrew.

The main mission of The Online Professor is to  train locals to become trainers in Biblical Hebrew. He is now following up on a pilot project to offer intensive Biblical Hebrew at the ETC in January Improved material will now be offered for all Ethiopian students who want to start learning Biblical Hebrew for real.

Another important mission is to train instructors to use TheWell box in order to offer Biblical Hebrew language learning in remote areas without stable internet and electricity. For this the door is now wide open in Southern Ethiopia.

The final vision is to support local seminaries with a vision for Biblical Hebrew.
