GAL010: Everyday Aramaic (Galilean) is a rather unique course dealing with an obscure topic in a novel way. Each day, every day, in the morning a small easy-to-digest lesson is written upon the professor's chalk board, an image of which is posted here along with commentary and exercises. The subject of study is early Galilean Aramaic, the "daughter dialect" of the very language that was spoken by Jesus of Nazareth, himself.

This course was originally developed so that the professor's wife and children could learn Galilean, with its characteristic spellings, pronunciation and grammar, reconstructed and adapted for use as a spoken-at-home language. As such it is well-suited for all ages and learning levels.

What's currently on the blackboard is always posted here for all to enjoy. Access to the archives, extended commentary and exercises, however, is by subscription.
