| 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! |
| You now know 20 Hebrew Letters and 9 main niqqud symbols! |
| Have you been practicing your alef-beit? I hope so, because you’re just two lessons away from learning them all! |
| In this lesson we will move on to the twenty-first letter and we’ll learn another niqqud. |
| So let’s start! bou nathil! |
| The next letter is 'Shin', with the sound of 'Sh'. |
| It looks like this- |
| שׁ (handwriting) |
| curve from out-in. |
| It looks like the English letter 'e', doesn't it? |
| In print it looks different though |
| שׁ (print) |
| 'Shin' is pronounced 'Sh' when the dot on the upper right side. |
| If the dot in 'Shin' is on the upper *left* side- it is called 'Sin', with the sound of 'S'. |
| Remember, like all niqqud, these dots are usually not written. It's like the dot of 'Beit', 'Kaf', and 'Pei'. |
| שׂ (handwriting) |
| and in print |
| שׂ (print) |
| 'Shin' and 'Sin' are considered the same letter in the Hebrew alphabet. You only have to remember two of it’s sounds. |
| Now let’s try a little word play with 'Shin' and 'Sin' |
| 'Sara Shara Shir Sameah' |
| 'Shir Sameah Shara Sara' |
| The meaning of it is- |
| 'Sara sings a happy song' |
| 'Happy song sings Sara' |
| In Hebrew you can say the sentence both ways and it is still grammatically correct. |
| Try to practice it many times until you get it right both ways! It is challenging but fun way to learn! |
| It’s time to learn the last niqqud used in modern Hebrew. Number ten is 'Kubuts', with the sound of 'U'. It looks like this. |
| We already had 'Shuruk', and this is another 'U' sound in the Hebrew vowel system. |
| 'Meshulash' is a triangle. |
| מֵשֻלַש (handwriting) |
| and in print- |
| מֵשֻלַש (print) |
| Now it's time for Yana's insights. |
| Try to make a chart of all ten niqqud we have studied so far. |
| Take any letter and pronounce the same letter with different niqqud each time- |
| for example- |
| 'Beit'- |
| 'Beit and Kamats' 'ba' |
| 'Beit and Hirik' 'bi' |
| 'Beit and Kubuts''bu' |
| and so forth... |
| Try to go by the order we studied. From the first 'Kamats' all the way to the last 'Kubuts' from this lesson. |
| Next lesson we will finish with Hebrew alef-beit and have a review of all the 22 letters!!! |
| How is your singing voice? |
| See you in the next lesson! |
| Lehitraot!!!! |
