Hebrew's coming along nicely
I'm beginning to get the hang of the alphabet to the point that I need to lok at my sheet far less each time.

I don't know what a lot of the words mean yet- but I'm getting a general feel for the language as I read familiar verses in their hebrew form (which can sometimes be a bit of an effort because the chapters aren't in numbers but hebrew letters- and the books all have hebrew names. The only thing that any random english speaker would understand in this book is the verse numbers, at the side of the text.

I've pretty much sussed what a full stop/period/end of sentence mark is, by process of elimination.

We'eleh Shemot (Exodus), Gimel (chapt. 3) 14

Wayi'mel Elohiym el-Moseh ehiyeh asher ehiyeh


God said to Moses "I am who I am".

I'm picking the alphabet up quite well now, and I'm learning a few phrases as I go, but it'll be a while before I consider myself anywhere near able to read hebrew and understand it.
