Hi Mike,
I want so sign up whether for the Hebrew or Greek class. Therefore I do have two questions for you:
1) What would you rather recommend for a normal person as me Hebrew or Greek? I had seven years of Latin in school but that was 24 years ago and I have not delt with ancient languages since then, so I’m a bit scared of keeping up.
2) The digital versions of the textbooks required are from Logos. From the website I’m not sure if I do have to have Logos Bible Software to get the digital versions of the textbooks and use them or can I just buy the digital versions without that and still use them independently from Logos Bible Software?
Thanks for your precious time since I know you are very busy!

If you haven’t had a language course before, it really doesn’t matter. The only advantage to Greek is that there is cognate vocabulary with English (e.g., anthropos, “man< — anthropology). A Latin background would help either way, though mostly with Greek.
You don't need a base package to buy a book at Logos. The book would come with the "engine" that runs Logos. You can buy it in hard copy or Kindle, or whatever. Doesn't matter.

Yes – it will likely get posted in October for a January beginning.
I’m also considering making enrollment “calendar-less” for several reasons. Still noodling that, though.
