Hebrew Tutor teaches over a thousand words used in Tanach and daily Hebrew conversation. Just imagine how good it feels to control a 1000 word Hebrew vocabulary. One thousand words in Hebrew is a lot, after all most of us do not use that many different English words in the course of a days conversation! Now with Hebrew Tutor you can become proficient and enjoy your Hebrew home work, Bible, Chumash and Navi Class. The program grades you and corrects your mistakes. It will also keep track of your progress so you can monitor your own steady improvement. And if by any chance you are headed to Israel, you will not sound like you just got off the boat. Just think of the money you will save by knowing how to bargain in Hebrew! Hebrew Tutor will not only teach you the words it will pronounce the words in a clear human voice with the correct Israeli inflection. And do not worry if you missed the pronunciation the first time the computer will repeat it, and repeat it until you get it right. This way you will be able to train your ear to the sound of a genuine Hebrew. Hebrew Teacher is approved by the New York State Board of Education.

About

Learn the vocabulary of the New Testament — all 5,483 words — through the screens you already look at dozens of times a day. HOW IT WORKS • New words appear on your lock screen with their meaning, several times through the day — no app to open. • The Recall widget on your home screen quizzes you: read the Greek, tap to check, then grade yourself. • Every PASS stretches the next review out (1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 90, 180 days). Every ↺ brings the word back sooner. Miss a word two days running and it returns to the lock screen for relearning. A REAL DICTIONARY BEHIND EVERY WORD Tap any word for its full entry: the Middle Liddell definition, the forms that actually occur in the New Testament with their parsing, its frequency across the Septuagint, the Apostolic Fathers and wider Greek literature — and every NT verse it appears in, with translation. MADE TO BE SUSTAINABLE • A two-minute placement test finds where you should start. • Choose which days introduce new words — take Saturdays off. • Reviews are capped and smoothed automatically, so the backlog can never snowball. • Words common in the Septuagint and the Fathers but rare in the NT are woven in, so your Greek grows beyond the canon. ALSO INCLUDED Hebrew and Latin vocabulary decks, and Hebrew verb-form drilling, available under Manage Languages. Built by a student of the biblical languages, on the conviction that the lock screen is the best flashcard you own.
