Hamzah Ahmed I will have 999 9#9 the time of day tomorrow and then you will need your number of other stuff that is not the same . I'm a 960 , you are a lot more of an issue of a lot
Excellent! Well designed use of repetition so that we can see how certain letters are pronounced differently depending on location or use of the dot (dagesh).
Excellent teacher. Although I know the alphabet, I always learn something new from each teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us students.
Thanks for a simplistic approach to Hebrew, I’ve been learning it on and off for years as a second language and to use if I have the opportunity to visit Israel again,not to mention understanding the Torah better.
Hi! Thanks for this helpful video. By the way, I notice lots of people keep on talking about Rocelangue Method (do a search on google), but I'm not sure if it is really good. Have you tried this how to speak foreign language tutorial known as Rocelangue Method? I've heard some great things about it.
I like your videos, I'm not jewish my self, but from a young age I was always interested in this religion because in my first grade class we played with dreidels. I was fascinated by the shape of the language and the meaning behind it all, it felt so mystic then as it does now. I really hope that more people learn to understand and appreciate this old language and religion because its such a historical part of earths history.
Merci ! Very clear lesson. Doing comparative language study, we can say the hebreu of the Torah is not the modern hebrew, even letters change. Example Shin and Sin, Vav et Fa/Pa or Vav and B or Pa and Ba, or J and G and Kaf and Ha' and Kha. The new hebrew alphabet was introduced by jew egyptian around 1500 years ago.
Trcy rich @ Jewfaq . I visit your teaching because your voice is very soothing and reassuring that me , the student is progressing, and pronouncing the Ivrit text correctly . Thankyou so much Tracy Rich . CDP.......
Dear Sir, thanks for your great lessons. It really makes a difference in learning hebrew. However there is something about the nikkudot which doesnt make any sense to me. It is said that the pronounciation of the sheva is e or no sound. Could you teach us how to easily tell the difference? Could you teach us how to learn to read the sheva? And last but not least, the yud could also be pronounced as y or i. Could you teach us how to clarify the pronounciation of yud? Thank you so much for your support Best Regards
Regarding Semitic languages: On a scale from one to ten, with one being nearly identical and ten being not related, how close would you say that Hebrew and Arabic are, linguistically, to each other, if German and Netherlandish aka Dutch are a 2 and Polish and Russian are a 3?
Is this correct? שָׁ֫מֶשׁ זָמַן Classical Hebrew form of the Arabic name Shamsuzzaman, Hebrew transliteration shemeshuzzaman, meaning appointed Sun or Sun of this period.
Modern Israeli Hebrew pronunciation, taught here, is an extreme simplification of the Biblical versions that many Jews today neglect, and exhibits many European features not found in any ancient middle eastern dialect. This is not surprising as the founding father of Modern Hebrew was in fact an Ashkenazic Jew. Additional features of the Biblical version are as follows: Consonants: Vav is pronounced 'V', but pronounced 'W' when directly preceded or followed by a 'U' vowel. Gimel w/o Dagesh is pronounced as a Uvular Fricative (see IPA chart), the same as the French 'R' Yod, when doubled with a Dagesh, is pronounced as a Voiced Palatal Plosive (see IPA chart), somewhat like a weak 'J' Resh, is a Uvular Trill (see IPA chart), when doubled with Dagesh an Alveolar Trill (see IPA chart). If preceded by the Alveolar consonants Dalet, Zayin, Tet, Lamed, Nun, Samech, Sade, Seen, or Tav, or followed by Lamed, or Nun and one of them has a simple Shva, or preceded by any Alveolar consonant with Shva, Hateph Patah, or Hateph Segol it's an Alveolar Tap or Flap (see IPA chart) Sade is pronounced 'S' when it begins and ends a syllable rather than the 'TS/TZ' sound in the modern pronunciation of 'matzah', making it 'massah' Vowels: One rule must always be obeyed: All vowels are long except for those in closed, unstressed syllables and Shva and Hateph vowels. Hireq in an unstressed closed syllable is short /i/ as in 'hit'. When stressed with an accent or Metheg/Gaya (see below) it's long /i/ as in 'machine'. Patah in an unstressed, closed syllable is /a/ as in 'cat'. When stressed or in an open syllable, it's like the /o/ in 'shower', somewhat like the sound you make when saying 'ahhh' when the doctor tells you to open wide, hence the meaning of Patah in Hebrew which is 'open'. Qames when stressed or in an open syllable is like /aw/ in 'saw', but with more lip rounding; something like the /o/ vowel in the British pronunciation of 'box'. When in an unstressed closed syllable it's /o/ as in 'horse'. Shva vocal by default is pronounced like a short Patah, that is /a/ as in 'cat'. The only exception occurring on the letter Sheen, where it's always silent and is pronounced with no vowel like in the word 'schmuck'. When Shva vocal is followed by any of the four guttural letters Aleph, Hey, Het and Ayin it's pronounced as a short version of the vowel on any of those four guttural letters. So if the guttural has a Holem, the preceding Shva is pronounced like /o/ in 'horse. If it has Tsere, it's /e/ in 'bed' and so on. When Shva vocal is followed by Yod, it's pronounced like short Hireq, /i/ as in 'hit'. If in any of these situations Shva has Metheg/Gaya (see below), however, you pronounce it long, or as an exact equal to the vowel on the following guttural rather than the short correspondent. Mostly all long vowels before a Shva are in closed, stressed syllables and the Shva are silent. This is marked by a vertical sign marking secondary stress called Metheg, or Gaya (see below), usually not found in most Hebrew bibles. Exceptions to Shva being silent after a long vowel is before the first of two identical consonants, in which it is vocalic. If a short vowel precedes two identical consonants, however, Shva on the first of the identical consonants is silent and the identical consonants are treated as one with a doubling Dagesh, unless with Metheg/Gaya (see below) in which case it's vocal Shva is silent after short vowels and only vocalic in the following: 1) The short vowel has Metheg/Gaya (see below) and the following consonant is Mem, or Nun. 2) The short vowel has Metheg/Gaya (see below) and is followed by any of the gutturals Aleph, Hey, Het and Ayin. 3) The short vowel has Metheg/Gaya (see below) and is followed by one of the so-called 'BeGeDKeFeT' letters without Dagesh. The short vowel is Shuruk when it represents the prefix 'and' and has Metheg/Gaya (see below). In all these situations the Metheg/Gaya (see below) lengthens the vowel and they're pronounced as their long stressed, or open unstressed syllabic counterparts (see above). However, if a short vowel has Metheg/Gaya (see below) and is followed by a letter with Shva and those are separated from the stressed syllable by a vowel followed by a vocalic Shva, or Hateph vowel, Shva is silent even when occurring in the fore-mentioned situations. When a Metheg, or Gaya is fixed to any vowel it makes it long, and you pronounce it as if stressed. This also applies to Hateph Shva vowels. So if fixed to Patah it goes from /a/ in 'cat' to /o/ in 'shower'. If fixed to Qames in a closed syllable it goes from /o/ in 'horse' to /o/ in the British pronunciation of 'box'. And if fixed to Kubus it goes from /u/ in 'pull' to /u/ in flute' like Shuruk, and if fixed to Hireq it goes from /i/ in 'hit' to /i/ in 'machine'. The only exception being Segol which retains its pronunciation quality as /e/ in 'bed' regardless of lengthening. Hateph Patah is /a/ as in 'cat' and Hateph Qames is /o/ as in 'horse', unless lengthened by Metheg/Gaya in which they're pronounced /o/ in 'shower' and /o/ in the British pronunciation of 'box'.

Guys, learning to speak foreign language does not have to be difficult (I used to feel it did). I'll give you some advice right now. Look for a method called Rocelangue Method (just google it). Seriously, thanks to Rocelangue Method I've learn how to speak practical language in quick and easy way. I probably should not even be talking about it because I do not want a bunch of other folks out there running the same "game" but whatever, I am just in a good mood today so I will share the wealth haha.
Is it just my computer or is anyone else no longer able to raise or decrease the volume? Also, the video, (and on many other videos) I cannot use nor see the scroll bar. Is this the new way of TH-cam? :(
It’s just to finish the sound at the end, put emphasis on the end. Also when there is no nikud (Israelis read without it) the ה is important at the end. For example cow in Hebrew פרה = Pa-rah But the male cow is פר = Par See the difference Link to my channel th-cam.com/video/x7GWiS22ZeE/w-d-xo.html
How would you write words that start with the letter "J" in the Hebrew alphabet ? Example "Jacket" "jump" etc. and names that start with "J" like Jeremiah? Would you start the J with a Gimel or a Yod will someone please give an answer ASAP
Hi. There is no letter that make J sound so we use Gimel with apostrophe ג׳ to create that sound. So james will be ג׳יימס and Jeremiah will be ג׳רמייה Try my channel th-cam.com/video/x7GWiS22ZeE/w-d-xo.html

nice video, its deceptive how they use calligraphy to present Hebrew hen in writing its actually identical looking to aramaic arabic, i guess it attracts allot of Europeans
Zayin sounds like “Zion” only in if you say it with a heavy American accent. Not a very good mnemonic, because as the teacher actually says, the Hebrew pronunciation of “Zion” is “tseeon.” You’re teaching students to mispronounce two words; the letter “zain” which is actually said closer to “zayeen,” Zion is actually said closer to “tseeon.” The speaker’s vowels are long, revealing an American accent. Tov and Sukkot sound like “tove” and “soocoat.” Rather strange, as I’ve always heard these as shorter sounds found in Spanish. Otherwise, good examples.
What a great video, thank you!! I'm just learning Hebrew and so far this is the most easiest video about the Hebrew Alphabet that I have seen!!

you are a GOOD (Tov) teacher. T H A N K YOU!
where do I find the meanings of each letter ie. gimel means camel?
Cow, house, camel, door, lattice, hook, weapon, fence, serpent, hand, palm of hand, ox goad,water, fish, support, eye, mouth, fishing hook, back of head, head, tooth/bowl, cross sign - in alphabetical order, the meanings are so 😀
chai gives the same meaning in syraic :D it means (lives)
Is it just my computer or is anyone else no longer able to raise or decrease the volume? Also, the video, (and on many other videos) I cannot use nor see the scroll bar. Is this the new way of TH-cam? :(
That's Tav my friend ת :)
2:35 Why do we use Silent Heh at the end?
It’s just to finish the sound at the end, put emphasis on the end.
Also when there is no nikud (Israelis read without it) the ה is important at the end.
For example cow in Hebrew
פרה = Pa-rah
But the male cow is
פר = Par
See the difference
