| 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 lesson we learned the letters ז, ח. |
| In this lesson we will continue with the next two letters and learn another niqqud. |
| Are you ready? Bou nathil! |
| The ninth letter of the Alef-Beit is - |
| -'Tet'. ט |
| It has the sound of 't'. Let’s write it: |
| ט |
| hand writing- |
| This letter is a little unusual, in that you need to start from the bottom-up. |
| and in print- |
| ט |
| If you round the corners of the print version- it will be just like the hand writing one- |
| write (in print- and over in hand) |
| טוֹב- 'tov' -is good in Hebrew.( in the masculine form) |
| ט |
| וֹ |
| ב |
| and in print- |
| טוֹב |
| in the feminine, you write- |
| טוֹבה |
| and in print- |
| טוֹבה |
| Now, lets move on to the tenth letter- |
| י-'Yod'. |
| which has a 'y' sound |
| It is probably the simplest letter- |
| Just like a little comma on the upper-right side of the frame. |
| and in print- |
| י |
| almost the same |
| just with a little angle. |
| יָד- 'yad'- is hand. |
| יָד |
| and in print- |
| יָד |
| יָד |
| Now we’ve completed 10 letters of the Alef- Beit. You’re almost half way through! Can you believe it? |
| Before finishing up, lets take a look at another niqqud- 'Shva'- ְ. |
| 'Shva' has no sound. It is a silent vowel. |
| It just keeps the original sound of the consonant. |
| like in- |
| אָחְ- 'ah'- is brother. |
| אָחְ |
| and in print- |
| אָחְ |
| We will see more examples of 'Shva' in the next lessons. |
| We’re ready to move beyond words, and write a phrase... |
| אָחְ טוֹב- 'ah tov'- is good brother in Hebrew. The noun comes first and then the adjective. |
| Nice job! Soon, you’ll be able to write whole sentences |
| Now it's time for Yana's insight. |
| Before starting the next lesson, try to write all letters from Alef- to Yod, several times in a row, while loudly pronouncing each letter. |
| In the next lesson we will learn the eleventh letter -כּ- 'Kaf', and after that review half the alef-beit! |
| How many can you remember? |
| See you in the next lesson!! |
| Lehitraot! |
