This is quite pricey, I’d recommend it if A. it’s on sale under $300 and B. You really need help with the discipline and interest to maintain learning. This video course is good for that, it makes the process simpler and a little fun. But if you have a strong interest and desire to learn hebrew you should find cheaper alternatives that will leave you room to purchase other supplements. THIS COURSE DOES NOT give you “everything you need to read and understand biblical Hebrew” It gives you basic you morphology (how words are built and manipulated). And it does give very little syntax (how sentences are made and how words relate to each-other), but IT IS VERY LITTLE. You will certainly need to learn more about syntax to read and translate without various helps. Pros: 1. It’s a course so self learning is easier. 2. It’s on logos so it’ll will give you more experience and skill with the software. Cons: 1. There’s little manual for what to do with the resources you get. At first I had no idea what to do and which resources were for what but this can be figured out. 2. It’s overpriced 3. The videos are basically simplified segments from the textbook. So you really could learn the same amount by diligently going through the book. 4. There are mistakes in the course, typos, contradictions between course and textbook, really annoying practice segments on subject matter you haven’t learned etc. this can be frustrating but I got through it by searching out the material. 5. The faithlife group is very inactive and unhelpful. 6. Very little syntax

I love the course and the way that Mark teaches the Hebrew. The point that I don't like it much, is that the content, and some times the explanation is generally the same that you can find in his book "Beginning Biblical Hebrew". In my case I had the book in my library and I was expecting something new. The other point is that I can't save the videos in my Logos Software (computer) so I need always internet connexion to learn it. I prefer offline to learn everywhere without WiFi. Great course and great teacher if you want to start and understand Hebrew from the beginning.
