- A quick introduction to the Hebrew alphabet, showing each consonant and each vowel and telling the pronunciation as you will hear it in American synagogues. I am part-way through another series that goes into more depth -- and yes, I will be completing that -- but I gather that some people just wanted it quick and dirty. So here's the entire alphabet in less than 10 minutes!
I am an Asst. Professor of history at City College in Calcutta, India. I have done my PhD on the Calcutta Jewish Community and also went for a fellowship at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. I can read and write Hebrew. This is the best video on elementary Hebrew I have ever come across. I would like to know more about the language and its rich vocabulary. I write a little bit of poetry myself and would be interested in translating poetry from simple Hebrew into English. Hebrew is more than a language. It is the living soul of the Jewish people and the embodiment of three millennia heritage. I fervently hope that Hebrew would become more user-friendly for people like us who are interested to get into the nuances of the language. Shalom
Kaustav Chakrabarti interested in reading your phd thesis. Thanks
@kaustav…..Shalom Shalom. How fortunate for you to have learned so much. I wish you well in your life.
Sorry to say but a very unsofesticated and rudimentary language
It’s very Ashkenazic though. Tav/sav and the “aw” sound
אני שב לראות את איך הסרטון הזה יכול להמשחיך ללמד לאנשים
This is so excellent. I started a Biblical Hebrew class and could not finish. I’m teaching myself. You are an excellent teacher. You are clear, precise and to the point. I was praying for help and The Lord led me to your video. Your videos are my new guide. Thank you and may The Lord continue to use you to bless others to learn Hebrew. Shalom🙏🏾
Day one on my personal journey to learn print Hebrew alphabet. Using a child friendly workbook bc I need it to be as basic as possible. Prayers you’re able to learn the language of God’s chosen people.
interestingly, Arabic is almost similar in pronunciation and i feel very easy to learn Hebrew.Thank you for making this tutorial.
Asad Kazmi all language is derived from Paleo-Hebrew...which is the original Hebrew. That’s why it’s similar
They were both dialacts of ancient semetic that became their languages later on
it sounded even more like Arabic in the ancient days.
Both Arabs and Hebrews came from prophet IbrahimAS or Abraham as you call him. Makes you think why we are fighting each other.
@@moinmahmud6265 who told you ishmeal is father of arabs bro stop lies
Aramaic and Hebrew are similar languages, I believe. I AM not a Jew, but, I ❤️🇮🇱✡️🕎, and I want to learn how to read, speak, write Hebrew. Thank You for the video. Shalom Aleichem, from Tucson, Arizona USA.🇺🇸🦅🗽🌇🌵
I love Israel.
I am not a Goddess worshipper
I am Like you. I am 80 now, I don't even speak my homeland language correctly, but I have been studying the names of Jesus, Abba Father and Yahweh-Ruach for years but I would love to say the disciples prayer in Hebrew to Yeshua so I can recite it to Him the first time I see His eyes. Then I would like to learn the classic verses in Hebrew too. I am concentrating preparing for my first meeting upon arrival in the Throne room. John, Paul, Moses, and others that explained their first physical meeting with Elohim fell face down as though dead. I don't understand all that this means but I know that it will happen to us all and then He will explain the next step after that event happens. There will never be another time like this in all eternity and it gives me gooseb 6:06 umps
For a 13 year old, this is a pretty hard language to learn....I still want to learn it though
Rosa Hernandez Yes indeed, but can you imagine how difficult is to a 36? :) I wish you a good progress with your studies. Bye

+Rosa Hernandez It's only as hard as you make it.
on duolingo you have to know how to read Hebrew. Because everything is in Hebrew. It kinda sucks how they did it
It's the same for all Duolingo courses with non-Latin scripts, to my knowledge. You're forced to learn quickly. Transliterating Hebrew (representing Hebrew in Latin script) wouldn't be very helpful and might simply be confusing.
I was doing it on Duolingo right now and I was like wth is this?! it gives no introduction whatsoever
Isaiah Serna I'm learning Hebrew on duolingo and it's very hard. I can read many words and write but can't really speak 😣
I recommend the app Tinycards. It's a seperate app (by Duolingo) for flashcards to help you learn the basics of the alphabet for non Latin script languages. My only complaint is that it doesn't have an audio component (the reason why I'm on TH-cam for pronunciations).
Same problem
I appreciate her attitude with it. Straight facts, no frivolous bs trying to make it more digestable. I appreciate the respect for my ability to follow along with just facts. Its super clear and straight to the point.
Thanks, I am just starting to learn Hebrew. My granddaughter brought home a paper with the Hebrew alphabet. This was very helpful.
M from India .. will u plz share ur learning
אני שב וצריך לומר שסרטון הזה הוא טוב ביותר
For those viewers who are learning Hebrew, FYI, there are actually two categories for the Hebrew alphabet, the printing letters (which are represented in this video) and writing letters, which you use them whenever you write by hand, and some same letters in both categories may be entirely different.
As a seminary student I can honestly say this is the best instructional video I've seen so far. I bless God for who you are and the work you do.
Yahuah, Yod Hay Uau Hay, Yahusha, Yod Hay Uau Shin Ayin. Drop the school they are teaching you doctrines of demons.
What do you mean by saying I bless god ?
@@stjo4756 Yeah - not sure how Matthew 24 fits with your post, but it is difficult to sustain a credible ministry without proper education. Thanks for your advice, but I'll stick it out here in Demon U.
As an Israeli I must say that you went very depth... Especially in the vowels. All of the forms used to pronouns "Ah" (Phatah) are not really important to distinguish in between. It can be simplified, even native speakers are not familiarized with the differences between all of the vowels.
diderot555 personally I don't mind information like that. It may also be useful for non-native speakers who want to learn Hebrew (like me)

Thank you very much to the narrator and whoever else may have been involved in putting this together. I've been working with Qabbala for quite some time and was always aware that my pronunciation was unforgivable, and this video helped me immensely. Thanks for your hard work in making Hebrew more accessible to people like me!
Ahhhh!!!! You're a gem for this!!! I've been trying to learn Hebrew solely from a textbook!!! This was so helpful!
Hi Paige! How is you Hebrew learnng coming out? Did you continue studying it?
it’s been six years how is your learning going?? (if you’re still doing this)
Thank you for your online course. I'm studying Biblical Hebrew at school and I need all the help I can get. I practice with your online sessions. Your ability to enunciate so clearly is wonderful. Thanks again. I pray I pass this course. With your help here I'm sure I will.
I am so very grateful for all that you have accumulated and shared. Whenever I question or anyone else asks me, I simply go to your site for myself and tell others the URL so they, too, can reap the benefits of your amazing site.
Tomorrow I'm going to help an adult b'nai mitzvah to learn the aleph-bet and decided to check more since I am not a teacher.
May 2015 I became a Bat Mitzvah and was very happy to have remembered the aleph-bet from my childhood schooling and that I practiced reading whenever in synagogue.
You are a blessing.
I am a beginning student of Hebrew. Thank you for making this video, very helpful!!
Good to remember that once you learn the letters Hebrew is phonetic.
In Israel as I was standing in front of a fast-food restaurant, I wanted to pronounce the names shown. The word for Kosher I knew as clearly as I know how to read the English word "Kosher."
But the longer word -- well, then I remembered the phonetic. I pronounced each letter and Voila! McDonalds.
People around me also laughed and I felt pleased to have figured it out (in spite of the obvious arches)
In Hebrew there is no word for that name so it's simply done with the letters as would be said in English.
It was fun reading the signs around the country - but, sad to say, I only knew the meanings of the ones I knew. "Israel" - for instance. "Jerusalem" - another instance.
Have fun!
Donna Baker hows ur learning its been a year now
Donna Baker hello is this an American version I am scratching my head as it seems to be a little bit different from the liberal form of the alphabet or have I got egg on my nose that's an English saying for you have got that wrong if you can please get back to me I am all ears shalom Deanklous

Thank you, Tracey, for making these videos and helping me with my study
I literally just started learning the Hebrew Alphabet 3 days ago, just starting with the 22 consonants to start with. I just watched another video where the guy never explained half of what you have, and it totally bewildered me. this explained perfectly for a total beginner like me. thank you very much !
I have not spoken Hebrew in years and want to relearn it. This video is very helpful on refreshing myself, thank you.
You managed to be very detailed in a short amount of time.
Thank-you.

I can't even English so let's quite while I'm ahead ;)

How are you speaking English when you are commenting in English?
Learning other languages might strengthen English for you.
Quite!
This is the best Hebrew Alphabet run through that I've found on TH-cam
Great job on this video. I like how you covered the exceptions, and how concisely you explain things. The video makes pronunciations clear. It was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Coming from a christian background, I find this very helpful. I suppose if you really want to learn Hewbrew you will. Baruch Hashem.

@TrustGod 1769 it says in the 10 Commandments to not say God's name in vein, Jewish scholars established that simply referring to him as "The Name" outside of praying and reading Torah scriptures as to be safe.
@TrustGod 1769 Do you know why is it{s said Ha-Shem? It has an explanation. And one has to be respectful of others, seeking understanding and what unites us (nor being citical o judgmental). Shalom!
Thanks for this detailed explanation! My 2 year old loves learning all different alphabets, and has recently become pretty passionate about Hebrew. Usually we show him fun and colourful alphabets, with songs, but he just sat rapt through this whole video ❤ And, for him, we're all learning, too! So for us parents and grandparents, a video like this is golden
Thank you for the video. I love learning languages. I enjoy Italian, Portuguese and am now trying to learn Russian and Hebrew. I speak English and Spanish fluently. It is great to be able to hear the pronunciation of the letters of the alphabet. I will visit this website daily to practice until I master it. I try to learn on my own using CDs, books, travel guides, and now You Tube. I was reading Hebrew 101 online and it led me to you. Thanks again for your wonderful lesson.
I've watched several similar videos. Your's is the best. Thank you.
First time getting into Hebrew. I'll have to watch your video a lot! Thanks for making it!
me too. I have so many Jewish friends I wanted to learn this language but omg this is so hard!

Thanks for this! My friend wanted me to design a tattoo for him with some hebrew writing and wanted the writing to be done in a cool font and so i'm doing research to figure out how I can push the shapes of these characters without them being indistinguishable.
What happened with the tattoo? What text or hebrew letters did you tatto to your friend?
Yeah hope you didn't mess it up lol
Wow, this was awesome. Short, clear, to the point. Gonna watch this one many times.
Thanks, This video is very helpful. I am using it for learning pronunciations as I flip through Hebrew alphabet flash cards.
Toda! Very informative.
This is the first time that I have heard this language and I have been a Christian for most of my life and I am now sixty years old. This language has a call to it! And just like any new language it is new and leaves you with a decision! I am very sad that this was never introduced to us when becoming a Christian when we were first introduced to the Scriptures! To make us realize that the Scriptures were Jewish! This is a very important starting point don't you also think so? The saying that most of us know " well begun is half done " makes what I am saying a thoughtful idea worth teaching about. Thank you for "TH-cam" to make this available.
Very nice lesson. It's balanced brevity is impressive. Makes me want to learn more.
This is very helpful. I wish I had come across it when I started my Biblical Hebrew on September 2013.
This is the most thorough video introduction to Hebrew I've ever seen, but it's only accurate for Modern Hebrew pronunciation. Biblical Hebrew and the traditional pronunciations of Middle Eastern Jewish communities preserved many distinctions between letters that Modern Hebrew has simplified to make learning the language easier for non-native speakers. Unfortunately, however, an increasing number of Israelis are unaware of this fact.
gimmel with ' after i think. so 'g if g was gimmel.
This is glorious, I've been looking for "hebrew tutorial online free" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Bonincoln Hebrew Handful - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my work buddy got amazing results with it.
this is one problem with the net, true you can learn almost anything you desire, but sadly there are scant quality controls over the accuracy of information presented to you. thus it becomes a task in itself finding reliable sources [such as this], and you can end up wasting your time learning inaccurate facts, life is too short to waste that way. shalom

Thank you so much for this! I'm currently studying an introductory module in biblical Hebrew and am still at the stage of struggling to learn the alphabet; it is going in, but slowly. It's good to have this resource available as a quick reference (and to be able to hear how the letters are pronounced properly rather than just seeing a textual approximation on the page of a textbook is invaluable).

Fantastic video. I read books. But watching your video helps me learn and recap much faster.
Thank you. It makes it clearer for me. I’m studying Hebrew at the moment so I can read the Old Testament in its original language.
Wow this surprisingly sounds really easy to me. I'm Armenian and my second language is Persian. No offense but pronunciation of the letters are actually similar to how you would pronounce the letters in Persian! Like Alef, vav, mem, nun, shin, sin, etc.These letters sound the same when you try to pronounce Persian Alphabet letters. I'm sure there's a historical fact behind it that could explain this. If anyone know anything about this please let me know. And as for me I feel like Hebrew should be easy for me for some reason. Hebrew sounds awesome so far!
You'll be more surprised, Arabic and Urdu have same sounds.
Serli G I'm Armenian too and I can see similarity between Armenian letters and Hebrew letters as well. There were many letters that were similar to Armenian letters in this video, and I'm really suprised. Armenians are one of the oldest nations and Armenia is an ancient country and ancient civilization like many countries.And I think this is the historical explanation of all that coincidences.
I speak Persian and hebrew
Because before islam came in most of the region shared a similar languages. (Btw Arabic is a family member too).

Great, the hebrew alphabet I've been studying has different spelling for a lot of these lettets. Guessing they would be pronounced differently as well.
there is 2 forms for hebrew writing, print/scripture and hand-write. every formal document, books, newspaper, holy scriptures written as it shown in the video.
hand-write it's only when you write for yourself and stuff like that, it's a bit different than the print form.

Native speaker here. Those are very VERY specific forms of vowels and laws and particles, 95% of hebrew speakers or native speakers don't use these. I'll be honest I even forgot about most of the vowels because I can read without them because you just remember words and know how they sound like, but anyone who wishes to learn, once you get the hang of it it's sorta easy I'd imagine.
בהצלחה
Sorry but you pronounce them in American accent. I was looking for native accent (Israeli).
Check for Uri Harel. He is the Best teacher for Hebrew. He has uploads on youtube

the pronunciation is not correct, it's very AMERICAN.
+pricsyla riquelme then make your own video! criticism with no action is not useful.
Well, aren't you just so helpful in your criticism. NOT helpful to anyone, except yourself, eh.
Is "American Hebrew" really incorrect? So many Jews live here and it's a very happy country for Hebraism. I wonder...could Daniel have developed an accent in the court of the King?
Almost like if anyone in another country were teaching English, they'd obviously be speaking with the accent of their own country? Would you consider their English "incorrect"?
It's not the same as English were it's easy to understand different accents. It's literally impossible to understand some of what she is saying in hebrew. You should learn from a native speaker instead
You don't sound like a guy at all, yet you do have a accent and tone similar to Nicholas cage. I was going crazy cause I am hearing a super feminine Nick.
Thanks. Excellent refresher! Highly appreciated!
Thanks again this was a good review for the detailed segment... Do you know when part 4 may be done:?)

There is no schwa in modern Hebrew, out default vowel is always "e".
b.s. so you pronounce words like גדולה as Gedolah? I don't think so
@@saar144 sometimes yes but i think that schva is not entirely absent in modern hebrew. In pronounciation you obviously say gdolah and rarely gedolah (casually).

Dont say Zayin in Israel, because you'll curse. Thank you.
what should you say instead? burekasTV. Thank you for your input.
@@faithwalk7724 well, you could say "Zayin" as a part of the alphabet. People will understand you. But if you'll say "Zayin" as a word, this is like to say "Dick".
Sometimes its like "fuck" and sometimes its simply a dick depends in the connotation.
Hebrew is the language of Jesus Christ Christians in my opinion should learn hebrew
His name is YAHUAH. Jesus Christ is a pagan name and so is Christianity. Beast worship. Research.
Its maybe translation form to the other language.
Christians do not worship Jesus. They praise YHWH through Jesus.
Lord Jesus ['I AM'] mainly spoke Aramaic, common both in his time as well as his surroundings. I love Hebrew. // Thanks for this excellent intro!
***** He isn't "weaker" in another verse and in need -- it was his intention to die in that manner, because it fulfills the prophecy that a man perfect in the law would be slain as an offering from YHWH to man (instead of man offering a perfect sacrifice to YHWH). Christians praise YHWH through the sacrifice of Jesus, as a way that YHWH created righteousness despite the law, whereas before there was only righteousness by obedience to the law.
Perfect. And you have a great speaking voice
You're beyond amazing you don't know what you have done for me just now
I love being a Jew
the pronunciation in this video is bugging me
Exactly. Not all accurate.

Native Hebrew speakers don't use the dots and dashes that distinguish some of the different sounding letters and provide the vowels, which may be why you have seen less. But if you don't already know the words, don't know how these words are pronounced, these extra things are very helpful!
