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! |
