5.0 out of 5 stars A great help - especially for those studying on their own.
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2017

This book is a great help to anyone studying Aramaic using Alger John's "A Short Grammar or Biblical Aramaic", especially if they (like myself) are studying alone and not in a class.

The book goes through the grammatical constructions of each of the lesson sentences. Explaining the form, as well as the translation (or translations). With this book the student gets immediate feedback on their understanding of the text, and errors are quickly spotted, corrected, and explained. This is invaluable for those who have no one else to refer to or ask regarding the lessons, and it keeps the self-learner from compounding their errors over time.

If there is one shortcoming, it would have been helpful to reprint the original exercises in this work (this was not done for space considerations). There are a number of occasions in Johns' work where the vowels in particular are not clear. Reprinting the exercises in a clearer (and perhaps larger) font would have dealt with some of the confusion. But this is a minor quibble.

I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Annotated Answer Key to "A Short Grammar of Biblical Aramaic"
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2012

I sat in a class of about ten students who were using "A Short Grammar of Biblical Aramaic" by Alger F Johns. Before end of the semester only two students were left. Now James N Jumper's "Annotated Answer Key to John's work is like opening the door to analyzing the grammatical structure of every Aramaic word, contrived or Biblical. Now I can set at home and enjoy working through John's book. With these two books, used together, I feel comfortable in reading the Aramaic of Ezra and Daniel.
If you are in a hurry to have these books, order them from Amazon. I did and had them on my desk in less than a week.

This is SUPER helpful if you get Johns’ grammar. Without it, you cannot check your answers on the exercises. Not only does it give you the answers, it clearly explains WHY the answers are correct. I highly recommend getting both of them together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jumper's Annotated Key to Johns's Aramaic Grammar
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2003
As one who teaches Aramaic annually, I can attest that Johns's "A Short Grammar of Biblical Aramaic" is a quick, efficient way to learn biblical Aramaic well. Yet its exercises contain practice sentences that are purposely very challenging, and therefore can be offputting to students. James Jumper has put together, with the permission of the publishers (Andrews University Press), a clearly annotated key to all the exercise sentences in Johns' grammar, de-mystifying those sentences and adding a lot of helpful comments and grammar reminders in the process.
Johns's grammar has some real advantages for learning Aramaic. For example, it takes seriously the proto-semitic reflexes for virtually all forms (great for those interested in comparative Semitic grammar, but not necessary for using the book to learn Aramaic). It also treats the Peil as a separate conjugation, which is certainly how native speakers in OT times understood it, however certain modern grammarians may "theorize" about its role.
Jumper's "Key" makes Johns's grammar more accessible than ever -- a real gain for Aramaic students. I think that anyone who uses Johns's Grammar would find it advantageous and time-saving to purchase Jumper's Key along with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Biblical Aramaic Grammar
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2008
Fairly clear grammar, though organization of the book is somewhat lacking. A better grammar is by Rosenthal, though I believe you can only get that book used. This is an okay book for a brief overview of the topic however a more detailed book, such as Rosenthal, will be needed for anyone hoping to progress in their understanding of the language.
