Wow thank you for this video! Very concise and easy to follow!
Your teaching is very clear and really good. You should continue with lessons. Maybe numbers or more reading
God bless
Beautifully put together!
Excellent! Well designed use of repetition so that we can see how certain letters are pronounced differently depending on location or use of the dot (dagesh).
Shaalom this is Lokesh from Andhra Pradesh in India I am learning Hebrew language by your channel.My mother tongue is Telugu .thank you.

Awesome lesson!
Hi! Thanks for this helpful video. By the way, I notice lots of people keep on talking about Rocelangue Method (do a search on google), but I'm not sure if it is really good. Have you tried this how to speak foreign language tutorial known as Rocelangue Method? I've heard some great things about it.
Thanks a lot
Excellent, Toda Raba
Thank you so much
Thank you, I enjoyed this very much as I'm planning to go to Israel next year.
I like your videos, I'm not jewish my self, but from a young age I was always interested in this religion because in my first grade class we played with dreidels. I was fascinated by the shape of the language and the meaning behind it all, it felt so mystic then as it does now. I really hope that more people learn to understand and appreciate this old language and religion because its such a historical part of earths history.
helpful thank you:)
Superlative work!
Thank's ❤
excellent!
Very good video!
Shalom to all
Ana ahabakum
This was great! If you could include some calligraphy for the letters, that would help a lot too =]
**THANK YOU**
Thanks for a simplistic approach to Hebrew, I’ve been learning it on and off for years as a second language and to use if I have the opportunity to visit Israel again,not to mention understanding the Torah better.
From where learn this languages
Tell me about the corses
very interesting - are the thicknesses of the characters important or the shapes?
GOOD
Merci ! Very clear lesson. Doing comparative language study, we can say the hebreu of the Torah is not the modern hebrew, even letters change. Example Shin and Sin, Vav et Fa/Pa or Vav and B or Pa and Ba, or J and G and Kaf and Ha' and Kha. The new hebrew alphabet was introduced by jew egyptian around 1500 years ago.
4:52 I had to go to the emergency for oxygen when you did that sound. funniest thing in life
Regarding Semitic languages:
On a scale from one to ten, with one being nearly identical and ten being not related, how close would you say that Hebrew and Arabic are, linguistically, to each other, if German and Netherlandish aka Dutch are a 2 and Polish and Russian are a 3?
Is it just my computer or is anyone else no longer able to raise or decrease the volume? Also, the video, (and on many other videos) I cannot use nor see the scroll bar. Is this the new way of RUclips? :(
Shalom!
Good explained... Madam from india..
Trcy rich @ Jewfaq . I visit your teaching because your voice is very soothing and reassuring that me , the student is progressing, and pronouncing the Ivrit text correctly . Thankyou so much Tracy Rich . CDP.......
Aleph,Bet,Gimel,Dalet,He,Vav,Zayin,CHet,Tet&Yud.
I just start.It's some better today. But,I must take it easy. It isn' t clever to be in fast. Oh,that' s only Begining at all. Thank You ! Mirjana
@daregularperson yes i did thank you! i'm here in Haifa right now :) unfortunately my trip ends in May
thank you for your sharing! you have provided an easier way for me to learn Hebrew~ >_
Modern Israeli Hebrew pronunciation, taught here, is an extreme simplification of the Biblical versions that many Jews today neglect, and exhibits many European features not found in any ancient middle eastern dialect. This is not surprising as the founding father of Modern Hebrew was in fact an Ashkenazic Jew. Additional features of the Biblical version are as follows:
Consonants:
Vav is pronounced 'V', but pronounced 'W' when directly preceded or followed by a 'U' vowel.
Gimel w/o Dagesh is pronounced as a Uvular Fricative (see IPA chart), the same as the French 'R'
Yod, when doubled with a Dagesh, is pronounced as a Voiced Palatal Plosive (see IPA chart), somewhat like a weak 'J'
Resh, is a Uvular Trill (see IPA chart), when doubled with Dagesh an Alveolar Trill (see IPA chart). If preceded by the Alveolar consonants Dalet, Zayin, Tet, Lamed, Nun, Samech, Sade, Seen, or Tav, or followed by Lamed, or Nun and one of them has a simple Shva, or preceded by any Alveolar consonant with Shva, Hateph Patah, or Hateph Segol it's an Alveolar Tap or Flap (see IPA chart)
Sade is pronounced 'S' when it begins and ends a syllable rather than the 'TS/TZ' sound in the modern pronunciation of 'matzah', making it 'massah'
Vowels:
One rule must always be obeyed: All vowels are long except for those in closed, unstressed syllables and Shva and Hateph vowels.
Hireq in an unstressed closed syllable is short /i/ as in 'hit'. When stressed with an accent or Metheg/Gaya (see below) it's long /i/ as in 'machine'.
Patah in an unstressed, closed syllable is /a/ as in 'cat'. When stressed or in an open syllable, it's like the /o/ in 'shower', somewhat like the sound you make when saying 'ahhh' when the doctor tells you to open wide, hence the meaning of Patah in Hebrew which is 'open'.
Qames when stressed or in an open syllable is like /aw/ in 'saw', but with more lip rounding; something like the /o/ vowel in the British pronunciation of 'box'. When in an unstressed closed syllable it's /o/ as in 'horse'.
Shva vocal by default is pronounced like a short Patah, that is /a/ as in 'cat'. The only exception occurring on the letter Sheen, where it's always silent and is pronounced with no vowel like in the word 'schmuck'. When Shva vocal is followed by any of the four guttural letters Aleph, Hey, Het and Ayin it's pronounced as a short version of the vowel on any of those four guttural letters. So if the guttural has a Holem, the preceding Shva is pronounced like /o/ in 'horse. If it has Tsere, it's /e/ in 'bed' and so on. When Shva vocal is followed by Yod, it's pronounced like short Hireq, /i/ as in 'hit'. If in any of these situations Shva has Metheg/Gaya (see below), however, you pronounce it long, or as an exact equal to the vowel on the following guttural rather than the short correspondent.
Mostly all long vowels before a Shva are in closed, stressed syllables and the Shva are silent. This is marked by a vertical sign marking secondary stress called Metheg, or Gaya (see below), usually not found in most Hebrew bibles. Exceptions to Shva being silent after a long vowel is before the first of two identical consonants, in which it is vocalic. If a short vowel precedes two identical consonants, however, Shva on the first of the identical consonants is silent and the identical consonants are treated as one with a doubling Dagesh, unless with Metheg/Gaya (see below) in which case it's vocal
Shva is silent after short vowels and only vocalic in the following: 1) The short vowel has Metheg/Gaya (see below) and the following consonant is Mem, or Nun. 2) The short vowel has Metheg/Gaya (see below) and is followed by any of the gutturals Aleph, Hey, Het and Ayin. 3) The short vowel has Metheg/Gaya (see below) and is followed by one of the so-called 'BeGeDKeFeT' letters without Dagesh. The short vowel is Shuruk when it represents the prefix 'and' and has Metheg/Gaya (see below). In all these situations the Metheg/Gaya (see below) lengthens the vowel and they're pronounced as their long stressed, or open unstressed syllabic counterparts (see above). However, if a short vowel has Metheg/Gaya (see below) and is followed by a letter with Shva and those are separated from the stressed syllable by a vowel followed by a vocalic Shva, or Hateph vowel, Shva is silent even when occurring in the fore-mentioned situations.
When a Metheg, or Gaya is fixed to any vowel it makes it long, and you pronounce it as if stressed. This also applies to Hateph Shva vowels. So if fixed to Patah it goes from /a/ in 'cat' to /o/ in 'shower'. If fixed to Qames in a closed syllable it goes from /o/ in 'horse' to /o/ in the British pronunciation of 'box'. And if fixed to Kubus it goes from /u/ in 'pull' to /u/ in flute' like Shuruk, and if fixed to Hireq it goes from /i/ in 'hit' to /i/ in 'machine'. The only exception being Segol which retains its pronunciation quality as /e/ in 'bed' regardless of lengthening.
Hateph Patah is /a/ as in 'cat' and Hateph Qames is /o/ as in 'horse', unless lengthened by Metheg/Gaya in which they're pronounced /o/ in 'shower' and /o/ in the British pronunciation of 'box'.

Guys, learning to speak foreign language does
not have to be difficult (I used to feel it did). I'll give you some
advice right now. Look for a method called Rocelangue Method (just
google it). Seriously, thanks to Rocelangue Method I've learn how to
speak practical language in quick and easy way. I probably should not
even be talking about it because I do not want a bunch of other folks
out there running the same "game" but whatever, I am just in a good mood
today so I will share the wealth haha.
Toda raba
Is this correct?
שָׁ֫מֶשׁ זָמַן
Classical Hebrew form of the Arabic name Shamsuzzaman, Hebrew transliteration shemeshuzzaman, meaning appointed Sun or Sun of this period.
Hey guys this video is different than this website says. Or are they both right and i don't get it.
you are a GOOD (Tov) teacher. T H A N K YOU!
I have a problem. I can't read the Hebrew. What technic do you have for me.
Thank you for going slowly.
where do I find the meanings of each letter ie. gimel means camel?
Cow, house, camel, door, lattice, hook, weapon, fence, serpent, hand, palm of hand, ox goad,water, fish, support, eye, mouth, fishing hook, back of head, head, tooth/bowl, cross sign - in alphabetical order, the meanings are so 😀

Dear Sir,
thanks for your great lessons. It really makes a difference in learning hebrew.
However there is something about the nikkudot which doesnt make any sense to me.
It is said that the pronounciation of the sheva is e or no sound.
Could you teach us how to easily tell the difference?
Could you teach us how to learn to read the sheva?
And last but not least, the yud could also be pronounced as y or i.
Could you teach us how to clarify the pronounciation of yud?
Thank you so much for your support
Best Regards
Helpful to a primary study such as I am undertaking,thank you, may Yeshua HaMashiach bless you
The first three letters of His Name are: Yud Hey Waw (YHW) plus Shin Waw Ayin or Shin Ayin (Deuteronomy 3:21 & Judges 2:7).
That's Tav my friend ת :)
Amen Amen Amen
hello..i have tried for the longest time trying to learn them,and can't seem too.i don't know what i'm doing wrong..i can't even write a sentence..
chai gives the same meaning in syraic :D it means (lives)
How would you write words that start with the letter "J" in the Hebrew alphabet ? Example "Jacket" "jump" etc. and names that start with "J" like Jeremiah? Would you start the J with a Gimel or a Yod will someone please give an answer ASAP
Hi. There is no letter that make J sound so we use Gimel with apostrophe ג׳ to create that sound.
So james will be ג׳יימס and Jeremiah will be ג׳רמייה

@@kidima3526 THANKS sooo much!!! I've been wrapping my head around this for months
um cool
Looking forward to Part II ?!!
2:35 Why do we use Silent Heh at the end?
It’s just to finish the sound at the end, put emphasis on the end.
Also when there is no nikud (Israelis read without it) the ה is important at the end.
For example cow in Hebrew
פרה = Pa-rah
But the male cow is
פר = Par
See the difference

It is difficult to express in this letter. I do not because it's my language.
can i have alphabet chart ,book or cd from where i get this retrial i from pakistan some body help me
3/2, 19th street kh. touheed ph 5 d h a karachi pakistan
Look at this ruclips.net/video/x7GWiS22ZeE/видео.html
Information on how to get one is on the video description
nice video, its deceptive how they use calligraphy to present Hebrew hen in writing its actually identical looking to aramaic arabic, i guess it attracts allot of Europeans
Can any one help put 2212 into a Hebrew sentence.
Zayin sounds like “Zion” only in if you say it with a heavy American accent. Not a very good mnemonic, because as the teacher actually says, the Hebrew pronunciation of “Zion” is “tseeon.” You’re teaching students to mispronounce two words; the letter “zain” which is actually said closer to “zayeen,” Zion is actually said closer to “tseeon.” The speaker’s vowels are long, revealing an American accent. Tov and Sukkot sound like “tove” and “soocoat.” Rather strange, as I’ve always heard these as shorter sounds found in Spanish. Otherwise, good examples.
Why don't you have waw (l?) like other sites?
It's there and it's called Vav in this video.
I'm starting to get familiar with the letters, is my second day. The more I learn more tricky it gets.
Dovreste conoscere i numeri la matematica è cosmologica
So the Israeli actress name Gal Gadot meaning great? 🙂
Alef reminds me of the silent letter in the Korean alphabet in which only the following vowel is pronounced, great to see a connection :D'
Yod is wierd, it doesn't even look like a letter, so it's always easy to recognize.
I forgot : the hebrew alphabet change because of the penetration of grec, coptic, farsi and latin influences.
CHCHCHCHCHCHCHCH!!!! lol
I confuse vav with nun.
ה!
An excellent way to learn the alphabet
