From the preface of Biblical Hebrew for All (Intermediate) - Volume 3:
After successfully mastering the structures of strong and weak verbs, students are now able to move
on to the next, and last, step in understanding the verbs of the Hebrew Bible. In this volume, we deal
with a number of verbs that display a combination of two "weak" characteristics and are therefore
known as the "doubly weak" verbs. In addition, a number of totally unique verbs, as well as the stative
verbs, are covered...

As a result of his own passion and drive to teach others language, Tian Hattingh has put together straightforward methods and approaches which facilitate students to efficiently learn Biblical Hebrew, (as well as other languages too). Since 2002 Tian has been engaged in working and running ESL/IELTS language schools in Asia, and on taking sight (in photographs) of some of Tian's many hundreds (if not thousands in total) of enthusiastic, happy and joyful language students - one can immediately know that a wonderful teacher and tutor has been found.
Tian has a passion and natural gift for learning, studying and teaching languages to aspiring students - and has been doing so for the last 47 years since he began studying the Zulu language in South Africa in 1974. The year 1974 also saw Tian begin studying Hebrew and it was not long before he was running beginner classes at a polytechnic in Rustenburg, South Africa, teaching others the Hebrew language. Since that time Tian has spent considerable time traveling in Israel further developing his understanding of Biblical Hebrew - and between 2014 to 2016 Tian conducted classes for beginners in Biblical Hebrew in the city of Shenzhen, China.
Since 2016, since moving to Vietnam, as well as continuing to work at ESL/IELTS language schools, Tian has focused on teaching Biblical Hebrew via online methods - based upon the system of learning 'expressed' and illustrated in the five volumes of Biblical Hebrew for All.
The five volumes cover the following:
Volume 1: Basic Grammar & Strong Verbs
Volume 2: Weak Verbs
Volume 3: Doubly Weak Verbs
Volume 4: Textual Criticism
Volume 5: Lifting the Veil
