I apologize for joining the "hijacking" party.
I am beginning an M. Div. program at a small, denominational seminary in the fall. I took two years of NT Greek and one of Biblical Hebrew in my undergrad program. I plan on pursuing a PhD in biblical studies (not sure which field yet) after my master's work is completed and would like to get a jump on research languages. The seminary I'm attending offers gobs of courses in exegesis and topics like intertestamental literature (etc.), but doesn't offer any courses in non-biblical languages.
Are there any institutions that offer online courses in French and/or German that would be effective in preparing me for research in the world of biblical studies? I am not familiar with many of the summer language school options, but I am unable to relocate during the summer for more than a couple weeks, which would prohibit me from attending most of them, I'd assume.
I believe I could obtain some level of competency through independent study, but I prefer to learn with the deadlines and motivation that a course provides.
