As we come to the beginning of March, I just wanted to take a few minutes to update you on our YouTube activities and where we are going in the near future.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Staying the Same<\/h3>\n

We will continue to break up our lessons into \u201chours\u201d (\u201cFirst Hour,\u201d \u201cSecond Hour,\u201d etc.). I\u2019m not sure on what date the following changes will go into effect, but this is the direction that I\u2019m thinking at this time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The First Hour<\/strong> (\u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05c1\u05bc\u05b8\u05e2\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d4\u05b8\u05e8\u05b4\u05d0\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05b9\u05e0\u05b8\u05d4<\/span>) will continue to be our Hebrew reading hour. We have already covered much of Joshua as well as a large chunk of the Psalms, and we\u2019re now reading through the story of King David. This hour starts at 5:00pm (Eastern) and lasts one hour.<\/p>\n

The Second Hour<\/strong> (\u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05c1\u05bc\u05b8\u05e2\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05c1\u05bc\u05b5\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea<\/span>) will continue to be our Hebrew grammar hour. We are currently working through the grammar of C.L. Seow (A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew<\/em>, Revised Edition), as already mentioned here on the blog. This hour starts at 6:00pm (Eastern) and lasts for one hour and fifteen minutes.<\/p>\n

The Third Hour<\/strong> (\u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05c1\u05bc\u05b8\u05e2\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05c1\u05bc\u05b0\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea<\/span>) will continue to be our Hebrew conversation hour available to our paying Patreon users. This hour starts at 7:15pm (Eastern) and lasts for forty-five minutes.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Changing<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve been doing a Greek hour (let\u2019s call it \u201cThe Greek Hour\u201d [\u1f21 \u1f11\u03bb\u03bb\u03b7\u03bd\u03b9\u03ba\u1f74 \u1f65\u03c1\u03b1<\/span>]) every week on Discord<\/a>, going through the books \u039b\u039f\u0393\u039f\u03a3 Lingua Graeca<\/em> (Amazon<\/a>) and Athenaze<\/em> for general coverage of the Attic dialect (\u1f21 \u1f00\u03c4\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u1f74 \u03b4\u03b9\u1f71\u03bb\u03b5\u03ba\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2<\/span>). I\u2019m going to suggest an earlier hour for this group, since it\u2019s been running from 5:00am to 6:00am for me, which is not really sustainable on my end. The intention, though, is to keep it on Mondays after the Third Hour.<\/p>\n

I intend to open another hour on Thursdays that will be aimed specifically at covering the homework assignments from the grammar book and looking at the reading sections that are assigned there. This will free up time during our grammar sessions so that we don\u2019t have to go through all of the homework at that time. I\u2019m thinking this will be on Thursdays at 6:30pm (Eastern). It will be the \u201cFourth Hour\u201d in our weekly schedule.<\/p>\n
