Jonah: Audio Q & A
($29.00)
-
Jonah: Audio Q & A takes the narrative text of Jonah read in Hebrew, breaks it down into its smallest comprehensible clauses, and then using a Question & Answer approach, asks questions about each clause followed by their answers, all in biblical Hebrew. It is purposefully in audio format only, to force the student not to rely on a written text but to access meaning through listening only.
-
Each clause containing a thematic verb (vayyiqtol) in the book of Jonah is read out loud, followed by the same clause read with its verb in the simple past tense (qatal). Juxtaposing the two forms aurally in this way allows you to automatically associate and internalize them together without needing to decipher or parse the verbs.
