For the past few years, I’ve been making my living teaching Spanish and English, online, but also in person at a company with lots of Hispanic workers about thirty minutes from my home. I also continue to learn more Spanish every day by reading the Bible in Spanish and watching lots of Spanish podcasts. I study Russian and interact with Russians online every week. I have language apps on my phone and can converse in Russian, Spanish, or English with these AI apps. It’s quite an interesting world!
Today I was reading John 21, and I checked the Greek on my Bible software. I do that a lot. I also checked the Hebrew on an OT passage. I took Hebrew and Greek in seminary.
My Russian teacher’s son is interested in Hebrew, so she asked if I’d teach him. That made me get out my Hebrew textbooks and start brushing up. I’m just a bare beginner in Hebrew myself, but she asked me for this favor, and said she knew I was further ahead than her son.
Anyway, I often read my Russian Bible, which is lying beside my laptop on my desk. I find that reading familiar passages in another language is a very helpful language-learning tool. Which brings me to what I’d like to share with my FB friends. Are any of you interested in learning Spanish? I’ve been teaching it for some years. But I want to teach it to some Christians by using the Bible. I believe it’s a great way to learn both Spanish and God’s Word. I also want to teach English to Spanish-speaking Christians who want to learn it by using the Bible.
If this interests you or you know someone it might interest, please let me know. I have limited time, but would like to add classes of this sort to my schedule. If there are enough interested people, I’ll start a class.
