I just strated to learn Hebrew by myself with this video so, I can not be 100% sure but the Alphabet system is very similar with Korean language which is first language I've learn when I was born. I think I can learn Hebrew so fast. It is so fun! Thanks for good lecture! Thanks a lot!
As a student of Theology in the University of Athens I was taught Ancient Hebrew and when I was writting down I used the printing version of the letters. The handwritten version seems completely unfamiliar to me...Eventhough, I find these lessons very interesting.
I'm a Hebrew teacher, and I was looking for an additional resource for my students. I can not recommend your course: it contains a lot of mistakes! For instance, in this lesson: 1. Consonant letter "Alef" does not mean a vowel sound "A." 2. The word "roof" גַּג has the vowel point "Patach" (and not "Kamatz"). 3. The first vowel in the word "dad" אַבָּא is also "Patach."
Angel Veronica In Ancient Hebrew, א and ע got distinct pronunciation. However, Modern Hebrew doesn’t distinct the two, in terms of pronunciation, and only a few which their families originate from specific countries might pronounce ע properly. Same with כ and ח. Additional different pronunciation letters that became redundant: תּ-ט, ג, ד, ו , כּ-ק, ס, צ, ר, שׂ,ת The ones I’ve placed alone are ones which their pronunciation either changed or been neglected. (ת-th like in thin, ר-different from Arabic ר which was the original, שׂ - a special sh sound, צ - sometimes Arabic س, Arabic ظ and ض, and ס used to be like Arabic ס, and ו-w, ד-th like in that,ג like Arabic غ)
thank you for clearing that up for me. I just couldn't find any logical explanation to why there was kamatz on first letter in aba. I think she just means that alef alone has the vowel A. I listen to a lot of Hebrew music and just from looking at the titles it's obvious that alef can have other vowels than A

you're a wonderful teacher thank you.I really want to learn Hebrew,but I learning English for now.I think Hebrew will be my next language that I'll master.
the reason we add the ' to some letters as gimel, tsadik and zayin it's because that sound doesn't exist originally in hebrew, in ancient hebrew. the sounds of "j" like jelly, the sound of "ch" like china, the sound of "zh" like in je suis in french.
The sound for א is somewhat nuanced, and is silent. So when using Niqqud, I think the vowel sound is added following each consonant. So, the characters sound out ":silent: + :A:", ":B: + :A:", ":silent:", and the whole word sounds out ABA.
Mon, 13 Oct 2014: I like Yana's accent. I am refreshing my Hebrew since I have not used it in many years. I have listened to a few Hebrew teacher on the I-net, but Yana's accent is beautiful and I like her way of teaching Hebrew more that the other teacher. I would like to know where is Yana from? Also, from listening to Yana, I have learned how to say "until next time" which she always say at the end of her lessons. NKD
I really like this style presentation.......I am really trying to learn Hebrew as fast as I can....and this style is the best .....Please list all of Yana's lessons for me......I have seen: "Learning Hebrew Writing-Hei and Alef Beit","How to Greet" and "How to Introduce" ......Can You please list the rest of this series ...I've had trouble locating them...Toda Raba
As of now the biggest thing I'm wrapping my head around is that there sea yo be a symbol for the name IG the word, the written form (I'm guessing cursive) and a symbol for print. So its three symbols to remember but only two are used primarily...
In the word Aba, why is the aleph needed at the end of the word? How can someone know that it is needed to write Aleph at the end of the word if it's not needed for the pronunciation of the word? If there would be no aleph at the end of the word wouldn't the pronunciation be exactly the same?
thank you for the video! There is something I found quite disturbing, there are three forms of alphabet in the video : the print form (ok) the handwritten form (still ok) but there is a third one, nobody talks about. what is it used for?
+Skygg Synn if u stop the video at 1:01, you can see three differents form of the alphabet! One of them in the print form, the other one the handwritten form, but what about the third one? :O
+Isa Collins Isn't the third one the same as the first? Print forms...not much difference in the one she wrote with bare hands (third one) and the other computerized copy (first one). They are both print forms. Strangely the same thing.
الدروس مره سهلة ومرنة شكرا و لاحظت ان العبري زي العربي في الكتابة من اليمين وحتى الحروف في تشابه انا اتعلم عبري عشان اقراء كتب بالعبرية واشوف اخبار بالعبري وحتى اليهود اللي يتكلموا عربي خلوا عندي فضول اتعلم لغتهم واكيد الوضع السياسي هو اكبر دافع
Hi Jana Thanks for the excellent lessons Question: the handwritten Bet in aba in this lesson looks different from the handwritten Bet in lesson 1 - how come?
Shalom Klaus Møller-Nielsen, Thank you very much for your comment and feedback. It is wonderful having you here! To your question, each person has their own personal style when hand writing, that is probably the reason for the difference that you find between the both. However, they are both OK. Happy Hebrew learning, Lenny Team HebrewPod101.com
Shalom, ani Mason. Naim meod lehakir otha. I'm learning the print and written forms of letters currently. But slow progress is being made! 3:21 That's what she said joke anyone?
helo, i want to ask : 1. why kamats sounding "a" is needed when vowel "A" is already present? at first i try to guess it will sound "a" with longer sound but seems like it is the same 2. why written and printed version have so much difference in shape? thanks
Something disturbs me: In the first lesson (Alef and Beit) the handwritten Beit looks a lot different than in this (and the following) video. Which one is correct? P.S.: great channel!
It's may looks a little bit different, but the two of them are correct. It should look like the first video, but because it's handwriting you won't write it exactly the same. It won't confuse somebody who knows the language.

Okay... 2 lessons in & I'm already confused by the niqquds. If they are to denote a vowel sound between it's letter & the next letter isn't it redundant when placed under a letter that already has a vowel sound? In the first lesson the word Aba (father) is introduced & pronounced as it would when saying the corresponding sound of each letter (A-B-A), but in this lesson she adds the niqquds, so why does it not change the pronounciation to "Ah-ah-Bah-ah" (A-A-B-A-A)?
Agera Brozz Hi Agera Brozz, Thank you for commenting. The kamatz stand for the sound "a". When it goes under a certain letter, like B, it makes it sound like BA (as opposed to BI or BO etc.). Was this explanation helpful? Please let us know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Yaara Team HebrewPod101.com
I have the same question.. since the word aba already has the vowel alef twice, that makes the sound ''a'', why would you need the kamatz under the beit? Also why put the kamatz under alef (two ''a'' sounds together?) ?
Sofia Semitsoglou because alef not always mean A (usually but not always).sometimes it means O or E or I so if you want it to sound A you need the kamatz.
+Sofia Semitsoglou Im new to hebrew too but i think of it like this: if you have "ah", "bah", and "cah", it seems like bah and cah are the only ones beginning with consonants, when in hebrew, the "ah" techinically has a consonant in front, which would be alef. So really alef sounds like a grunt or a cough where you don't vocalize.

Yeah, I thought it was bad in Japanese...
You're very correct. I find it very confusing.

Me too..thats better

Thank you very much Yana for your lessons! You are very good teacher!
Its my hobby to learn different languages. And this going to be my 5th. I love its script! It sound familier with Urdu too.
Why'd you learn a new one if you can't even speak English properly? (it soundS*, familiar*)
I wasnt writing an offical letter.
So what? (official*)
You are suffering from " grammar pedantry syndrome". Consult a good psychologist in your city.
this is the greatest video I've watched in ages!
You're Very well explained madam. 👌👌👌👌👌
I like your teacher , your may teacher 😍😍😍
Best teaching skills.. U are really the best teacher
Thank You Jesus.
thanks for this lessons in Hebrew , i am start for learn Hebrew , i went for your website , thanks for all
Hebrew has its own charm
the reason we add the ' to some letters as gimel, tsadik and zayin it's because that sound doesn't exist originally in hebrew, in ancient hebrew.
the sounds of "j" like jelly,
the sound of "ch" like china,
the sound of "zh" like in je suis in french.
The handwriting version looks like Thai alphabet for me 😊 I prefer the print version 🥰
I love you
Wow you very good in teaching 💜
Why would you add a vovel to ABA? i dont get it and she didnt really explain
I had the same question in mind! I would imagine writing either with the niqud system or the vowels, but I don't understand mixing the two
MrPainfulTruth me too
The sound for א is somewhat nuanced, and is silent. So when using Niqqud, I think the vowel sound is added following each consonant. So, the characters sound out ":silent: + :A:", ":B: + :A:", ":silent:", and the whole word sounds out ABA.
So א is technically a consonant, with a very subtle sound, that most modern speakers of Hebrew don't even bother doing?
א is a consonant, but since there are no true vowels (only Niqqud), I believe א absorbs the sound the vowel would make.

am loving this
honeslty I love this but as a person who speaks English it would be amazing if you used our letters as a comparison while teaching
Good job my teacher
Thanks
Kamats looks exactly like the vowel in Korean which is oo sound. I can tell that I will have to force myself to remember that.
Shalom,
What if "comma niqquid" comes after א then what?
Very interesting language.
In the word Aba, why is the aleph needed at the end of the word? How can someone know that it is needed to write Aleph at the end of the word if it's not needed for the pronunciation of the word? If there would be no aleph at the end of the word wouldn't the pronunciation be exactly the same?

what do you mean?
+Skygg Synn I think she means the Rashi Letters/'script (which are mainly used in rabbinical literature).
+Skygg Synn if u stop the video at 1:01, you can see three differents form of the alphabet! One of them in the print form, the other one the handwritten form, but what about the third one? :O

that is like latin letters, have these ones we use in typing and cursive ones which we use to write faster and save time.
I have one quick question. Is there a specific name for the comma thing that you used to make the sound like George. Or is it also called Kamats
We usually call it "Geresh".
الدروس مره سهلة ومرنة شكرا
و لاحظت ان العبري زي العربي في الكتابة من اليمين
وحتى الحروف في تشابه
انا اتعلم عبري عشان اقراء كتب بالعبرية واشوف اخبار بالعبري وحتى اليهود اللي يتكلموا عربي خلوا عندي فضول اتعلم لغتهم
واكيد الوضع السياسي هو اكبر دافع
نجاح باهر، وهذا أمر مثير جدا للاهتمام. منذ كنت العربية، كم تتعلم العبرية؟ يمكنك التحدث العبرية في الجمل؟
Good job!

In my opinion, יפהפיה (yefey'fi'ya). It's similiar of calling a girl "a beauty".
I love it..

Please help me
Abba אבא does NOT have Kamats under two of its letters. It has Patah under the a א and kamats under the b ב.
what is the difference between א and the niqqud which is used to show that a word is pronounced as an a
The letter aliph is like a long vowel , the other upside down is like a short vowel but it isnt really a vowel in arabic its callee el fetha
The handwriting way is quite similar to arabic and urdu, but when I see them printed, i get confused

While Alef and Beit do mean 'A' and 'B' as children we learn our Alef-Beit which is quite literally, the Hebrew alphabet :-)
