Your first steps into the biblical languages
You don't need a seminary background or any prior experience — only the desire to read the Scriptures in their own words. Here is how to begin.
Choose your language
Most students start with the language of the text they read most: Hebrew for the Old Testament, Greek for the New. Many eventually learn both.
Start Level 1 — free
Each path begins with a twelve-week Level 1 curriculum built on stories, pictures, and conversation. No prerequisites, no cost, no account required.
Learn with others
Keep our illustrated readers beside you as you grow. We also teach small, free classes live online, primarily in Hebrew or Greek, though registration is closed for now.
An honest comparison
Which language first?
Both are worth learning. Here is what each one opens.
עִבְרִית
Biblical Hebrew
Roughly three quarters of the Bible is written in Hebrew. Our Hebrew curriculum is the more developed of the two, with six levels available today.
Ἑλληνική
Koine Greek
The entire New Testament is written in Greek. Level 1 is available now, with further levels in development.
