If you're a self-learner, and just need the resources and the "pressure" of being in a graded class, this might be a good option for you. RTS - Biblical Languages | Do you have to get on-line at a particular time--a class time when everyone else is on line or can you get on line whenever it's possible? Also, do you need a scanner in order to transmit hand-written Hebrew to RTS for correction? Have you any idea of the cost? |
The classes are self-paced. Assuming Hebrew works in a similar fashion to Greek, you work through the textbook and workbooks at your own pace, as long as you finish all the work within six months.
There are no lectures to listen to, just the book and some supplemental instruction from the professor.
You take exams in one of to ways - either entirely online (with the free Teknia Hebrew font installed on your proctor's machine), or RTS will email your exam to your proctor, who can print it and mail it it when you finish the exam.
The cost, unfortunately, is the same as taking the course on campus, currently $325 per credit hour. Since Hebrew I and II are 3 credits each, they're about $1000 each. This may be more than you're looking to spend, but if you need fully accredited language courses for seminary, it may be worth the money. (They also give a 30% military discount, which has been nice for me!)
