HEAR THE WORDS
Tap the speaker button on any flashcard, guided study card, or word detail to hear it pronounced with Modern Israeli pronunciation. It uses the Hebrew voice already on your device, so it stays small and works offline. For a higher-quality voice, download one in Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices → Hebrew.

In seminary and required to take Hebrew. This app matches the textbook (Futato)chapters for the vocabulary exactly, which makes studying on the good possible. App works without bugs. Well worth it.
Amazing App Very helpful!

It’s super good that it has all the different text books! The only think is that is doesn’t list all the different meanings for the words in van pelts text books specifically other than that it’s amazing! (If possible can you add the other meanings)
Great App

Very pleased with the app. I detected a small error that the developer immediately fixed. Great response!
Developer Response
Thank you, and this is exactly the report I needed. You are right. The Basics of Biblical Hebrew lists were built against an earlier edition and have drifted, and you are not the first person to hit this. I am auditing those lists against the 4th edition now, and my plan is to support multiple editions side by side so nobody gets broken by an update. If you can tell me which chapters are furthest off, that would speed things up a lot. My email is ctclements@gmail.com.

The interface is intuitive, shuffling cards is a matter of reloading a sub group....but what really helps this app stand out is that the developer has gone above and beyond to include a solid collection of text book groupings, separated by chapter. This is IMMENSELY helpful when working with different grammars. The developer is also extremely responsive to feed back. I'm going to post this review on both his biblical Greek and Biblical Hebrew apps because both have benefitted me immensely. This has saved me SO MUCH TIME in making flash cards and I am most indebted!
Developer Response
Thank you for such a generous review, and for spreading the word to the Greek app too. The textbook groupings you liked are still core to the app, now covering 8 grammars with spaced repetition and audio pronunciation added since. Glad it's saved you time on flashcards!
• Biblical Aramaic is here! An optional one-time unlock adds all 675 Aramaic words from Daniel, Ezra, and Jeremiah 10:11, in three study tracks: Core Vocabulary by frequency, Reading Daniel, and Reading Ezra
• The Aramaic tracks use the same flashcards, quizzes, matching games, and spaced repetition you already know.
• Two small fixes in the Weingreen word lists
