Language learning tip

: Get 8-hours of sleep. In a day when people brag about going to work with 5-hours, we must realize that God renews our minds when we sleep well. Don't fall for the lie that says you can get more done if you often sacrifice quality sleep.

Here is how you say "sunrise" and "sunset" in Biblical Hebrew. Interestingly, it differs from our modern, Western mindset. Literally, the sun "departs/goes forth" from the earth, and the sun "goes" (i.e. returns) to the earth. The earth is central in the Biblical mindset!

Learning grammar deeply is necessary for rightly understanding any ancient language. However, it should never be a substitute for reading MANY source texts OFTEN. Being a pro in grammar does not mean that one understands the texts that they read. That comes from reading a lot.

Contrary to the story of Pinocchio, where having a long nose is a result of lying, in the Hebrew Bible Yahweh has a long nose (more literally, "long nostrils"), because he is "slow to anger". Interesting how both anger and patience are connected to Yahweh's nose descriptions!

I used to go to church with Scott McQuinn. He is a great guy and has written an exceptional MA thesis on biblical language pedagogy from the communicative language approach.
Professors are often constrained to maintain a system of instruction that caters to students who are in a rush and have unrealistic or naive expectations of how long it should take to learn Hebrew. These students could benefit from this perspective:
