FoundationStone Hebrew Vocabulary Software

I would like to introduce a free software package for learning Hebrew vocabulary that works quite well. Since it is a JAVA program, it can function on a number of different computer platforms including Windows 95 or later, MAC OS, MAC OSX, Unix, Palm OS, Pocket OS and Playstation.

To find out about the program and download a copy for yourself, please visit FoundationStone.

You will find that the program is already set up to provide a number of different vocabulary lists for learning Hebrew. This includes a file that includes every word occuring ten times or more in the Hebrew Bible. Since I use Gary D. Pratico and Miles V. Van Pelt, Basics of Biblical Hebrew: Grammar, in my class, I am working on the vocabulary so that it can be read by this program. The file that contains this information will eventually be made available on this blog. Until I can establish the link to do this anyone interested in it will have to contact me personally. After receiving the file, be sure to save the file in the "Additional Wordlists" sub-folder under the folder where the FoundationStone program is located in your computer.

Any feedback or suggestions would be welcome.
