Jeremiah:Regarding Gordon being a native speaker, I don't think this is accurate; his pronounciation doesn't sound Israeli. I think he's from Chicago according to his own claims; growing up in some Jewish sect doesn't make someone a native speaker nor does moving to Israel (done both those things and I'm not a native speaker ;) That said, most Israelis do not understand vast swaths of the bible due to how much has been lost as the language has been bastardized.
By "native speaker", I only meant he's conversational due to learning the language at a very young age. His father was an orthodox rabbi, so I'm sure he was schooled early on. I wouldn't expect him to sound Israeli.
I have a year of university level Hebrew--I know enough to know what I don't know. I'll make some time to watch those vids. Thanks.
