HebrewTutor

April 1995

While browsing a theological journal, one of our editors discovered a program from a professor of Hebrew at Grace Seminary which claimed to use multimedia to teach biblical Hebrew. The program was being used successfully in his classroom.

We contacted the professor and HebrewTutor was born. The product of Dr. Ted Hildebrandt, HebrewTutor started by teaching students the Hebrew alphabet to the tune of "Yankee Doodle" (just like they teach it in elementary school in Israel, I'm sure) and finished with a project to translate the entire book of Ruth.

HebrewTutor followed a less-successful DOS-based product we did called HebrewTools. The latter taught the alphabet and vocabulary with on-screen flashcards and no multimedia.
