I have decided that I will not be taking the full unit until the spring semester so that has taken some of the pressure I was feeling off and given me more time to since back and think about what I actually wanted and how I was going to go about achieving it. I plan to block out a time like I would any other class in my schedule and make that Hebrew time. While it was exhausting at time I do think I would follow the drill model and maybe set aside 30 minutes a day to review and learn new words. This will also be ideal because I plan to use resources like Drops and Duolingo. This fits in much better because I already assume that I will have a really busy schedule. So far I have learned prayers along with what can only be considered the very basic/ bare bones of the Hebrew language. I have a short running list of textbooks and other resources (the textbooks are on amazon ) that I think would be helpful especially with alphabet learning but I don’t think that I will purchase them, or ask for it to be purchased until next semester. My interest was piqued with my conversion process and since I want things to happen on the same time line it makes sense for me to push forward with the language component as my conversion process comes to an end. Both Chester and Esmee thought that my learning plan was well fleshed out but I do plan on asking Chester for some advice since we have the same target language while also listing some definite goals that will make tracking my progress easier.
