And yes, it is rather unfortunate that forums in general seem to be less active in the past few years. I've noticed that with other forums as well. It is especially unfortunate when the resource is as great as this.
I think people would just rather use Facebook and other social media platforms. That way, they have everything stored together, can easily share pics and videos, etc. Some have told me that forums are outdated. I think they can be very useful... provided that people use them. I hate that you have no font options on Facebook. I want to be able to post with language-specific fonts and to make words bigger and clearer. I don’t enjoy reading long posts on Facebook at all. But, to each their own.
For B-Hebrew, I have created tags that encode specifically for a font called Junicode for English (which I’m using now and can be downloaded and installed for free) and either SBL BibLit or Shofar for Hebrew. You might check them out if you’re interested.

I hate discussions on Facebook because people can reply all over the place with sub-replies, etc. It is hard to know what you read or not. On this forum, every comment goes in order, so you can see the whole discussion easily.

Learning Biblical Hebrew: Reading for Comprehension. It’s all about reading and getting ahead in Hebrew.
Speaking of Kutz and Josberger, I just got notification that the workbook is being shipped to me. I ordered the textbook and workbook around Christmas, and it was delayed. Apparently the textbook is still on back order, however. Sigh.
I also have a copy of
Basics of Biblical Hebrew by Pratico and Van Pelt. I find that a good contender as well, if I get stuck with Seow. But at the moment I'm still chugging along with Seow.

How far have you gotten in Seow at this point? Is it going well?

I am currently reading through Lesson V. So far so good.

It was addressed to you, but in the wrong thread. Sorry about that.

Will SBL Hebrew still work here as well?

That font has stopped being supported, as well as SBL Greek. They’ve combined SBL Hebrew and SBL Greek into SBL BibLit. I’ll make sure it still appears, but you should replace the font in your system (because it’s antiquated).
