Shalom! I have a question corresponding to "Joel". This book seems to state a prophecy that hasn't happened yet. Could you send me your opinion on this. The whole book really. Todah.Joshua.

Question
I am taking an Introduction to Judaism Class offered through the Oregon Board of Rabbis. The nineteen sessions are taught by fifteen Portland area rabbis, and while not a conversion course, I do intend to convert when I am finished with the course (the course is a prerequisite before a rabbi will consider us for conversion instruction). I am wanting to learn the Hebrew language as early as posssible in order to get the most out of the Tanach and the Shabbat services. I was wondering if I should learn mainly biblical Hebrew, conversational, or both? I don't see any local classes in my area (even the community college). I know I won't learn just from a book. Do you know of any resources (including the internet) where I could learn to read and speak Hebrew? Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and Shalom. Paul
