| Shalom, ani Yana! Welcome to Hebrewpod101.com’s Alef-Beit be-kalei kalut. |
| The fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn the Hebrew alphabet: the alef-beit! |
| In the last ten lessons we have covered 15 Hebrew letters and 8 niqqud symbols. |
| We have only 7 more letters and few niqqud before we complete the full series of Hebrew alef-beit! |
| Aren't you excited?! |
| So lets go straight to the sixteenth letter-'Ayin', with the sound of 'a'. |
| Originally, 'Ayin' was pronounced glottaly -- from the throat -- but in modern Hebrew it is rare to find speakers who are still pronouncing it in that way. |
| So now, basically it is another 'a' sound to the list. |
| And this is how you write it; |
| ע (handwriting) |
| and in print- |
| ע (print) |
| 'Avoda'- in Hebrew is work. |
| עַ |
| ב |
| וֹ |
| דָ |
| ה |
| ַעַבוֹדָה (handwriting) |
| and in print it looks like this; |
| ַעַבוֹדָה (print) |
| 'Ani holeh la-avoda'- |
| I go to work.(as a male speaker) |
| אני הוֹלֵך לַעַבוֹדָה (handwriting) |
| -'Ani holehet la-avoda' |
| (as a female speaker) |
| אני הוֹלֵכֵת לַעַבוֹדָה (handwriting) |
| wanna try it in print? |
| אני הוֹלֵך לַעַבוֹדָה (print) |
| אני הוֹלֵכֵת לַעַבוֹדָה (print) |
| Have you noticed a new niqqud in this sentence? |
| You are paying a very good attention, because there is one! |
| It is 'Tsere' with the sound of 'e'. |
| Do you remember what is the other niqqud with the same sound? |
| 'Tsere' looks like this; |
| נֵס- 'nes' - a miracle is spelled with 'Tsere'. |
| But you only need to recognize the sound for this word so don't worry if you dont remember exactly which niqqud it should be 'tsere' or 'segol'. |
| נֵס (handwriting) |
| and in print- |
| נֵס (print) |
| 'nes gadol' -is a big miracle. |
| נֵס גָדוֹל (handwriting) |
| and in print- |
| נֵס גָדוֹל (print) |
| Now it's time for Yana's insights. |
| Do you have a minute? Try to write all the alef-bet learned so far in one sitting. At the beginning it might be hard, but it will help you find out which characters are still difficult to remember. |
| In the next lesson, we will learn letter number seventeen and its variations. |
| So don't forget to practice till then! |
| See you later! |
| Lehitraot!!!! |
