Free Old Testament Audio
For learning the Hebrew aleph-bet (alphabet for the uninitiated), I have recorded and posted a version of the Hebrew aleph bet set to the Tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" (i.e. just like you learned the English alphabet). This is not strictly audio since there is also the text of the consonants to go along with the song. If you can't get into "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" I have also posted a page with Alpeh Bet Rock. New - audio on the rules of dagesh, i.e. rules having to do with the BiG DuK PoT Letters.
Though these are for Modern Hebrew, the University of Texas at Austin has a number of helpful tutorials for learning the Aleph Bet on their Hebrew language site. These tutorials are in flash and contain an audio component. Thanks to Esther Raizen for putting together these tutorials.
For Old Testament Hebrew vocabulary audio, the only resources
I am aware of that you can get for free are The Basics of
Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary and Old Testament Hebrew
Vocabulary: Learn on the Go. For these items, you would need
to do a Free Trial
of Audible.
For an audio version of the Hebrew of the Old Testament, go
to
Zalag.net.
They have a full version of the Tanakh available for free
online listening and for download (though you will need to
donwload each chapter individually). This is helpful as
Audioscriptures.org has changed these files to streaming.
Modern Hebrew
- Since learning Modern Hebrew can be helpful for learning
Biblical Hebrew, I am posting some free Modern resources on
the site now. For a free course in Modern Hebrew, visit
the
Foreign Service Institute Hebrew
page.
And, for the best Hebrew flashcards available, (though
this is not for Biblical Hebrew) visit Transparent
Language for their
Free Before You Know It Hebrew
cards.
