Shalom Tim, your videos are on whole different level. Your instruction is clear concise and well thought out. Much respect to you. Please make more videos! We love them.
This is, by far, THE cutest teaching about the Dagesh lene, Dagesh forte, and BeGeD KeFaT... (& then some) .. I have ever seen. There is so much to learn and know about Biblical Hebrew. Very well done!
The streets are the ideas of the imagination. The houses are thoughts, the habitants are affections. I see the parents land in light. God is exiled from god itself. Thank for your video, Tim.
Thank you very much! I will have to watch this video several times to grasp the concept firmly. I wish I had a worksheet covering this with an answer key. That always helps me learn.
I am here in Jerusalem learning Biblical Hebrew using the spoken method here at Polis and was just asking yesterday someone about Dagesh Lene versus Dagesh Forte... and BaGaD-KaPHaT בגדכפת. Perfect timing... תודא רבה!
I have studied Hebrew primers and it's hard enough to write and even harder identify the similar letters that are above or below the (box). I tried to understand the dagesh, and all it's applications, I finally gave up since I couldn't understand. You nailed it, presenting it in an easy-to-understand format, though it is still difficult. Being bilingual myself (Spanish/English) and having studied Russian and German, it resonates especially with the plosive v. spirant but of course one thing is to intellectualize it, but another thing is to put it in context or actual use. I love learning Hebrew. But it's self-study I would love to learn conversational Hebrew, back in 5778 I visited Israel, and I fell in deeper love with both nation and people. Toda raba!
yes. the beged kefet de-spirantization process occurs across several languages and merits its own wikipedia article. v-chica and v-grande in Spanish, the little v--letter/b-(ish) sound at the start of words and the big b.
Congratulations Tim. The best Hebrew instruction style I have encountered. I was engrossed and watched it twice. You have a real talent for language instruction - intelligent, clear, well structured and explained but never boring or verbose. You make a listener feel confident that they are getting correct information of a very good quality. Please keep making videos. We love them.
Hey Tim! I've been teaching myself Hebrew for the past 10 years or so. I feel that I have a lot of knowledge but I needed to organize it. Thanks to your videos I think I'm achieving it. This lesson and the binyanim lesson are my favorites so far. Thanks and keep it up! Shalom!
It’s an excellently organized presentation. He’s going a little fast for me on the game at the end, but I think if I replay the video enough times I’ll become faster!
I hope you do teach Biblical Hebrew :) your students must love your approach. great editing skills as well. please make more videos about more complicated stuff :) like נפעל when first אות of שורש is גרונית :)
Hello Tim, I've watched several Hebrew educational videos on how to learn Hebrew. I think your teaching has been the best thus for. Ive not seen this tought in any other Hebrew teachings. I will be checking out more of your videos. Thanks
The concept of the Dagesh is also in the Arabic Language, but it’s called “ shadda “ the name for dagesh in Arabic has a dagesh itself! It can also be found in Kurdish, when they double letters but they don’t substitue it with a symbol, we the Kurdish people used to have a dash on the doubles letter. It’s a very important part of both languages.
a lot of the pronunciation rules are similar between arabic and hebrew! everytime i learn about a rule in hebrew, i say, "hey that's a sekun". I also love how the vowel markers are practically identical too! in hebrew, there's yod, vav/waw, and heh but in arabic it's ya, waw/wow, and alif!
Excellent and interesting presentation. I hv started to learn Hebrew. Ur lessons are very helpful. Thanks. English meaning along with Heb words wd be of further help. Blessings.
Hello Tim , Thank-you so much for your lesson on dagesh. I appreciate your excellent pedagogy.:well structured, good memorisation tricks & tips, ample practice by repetition. Your tone of voice is zen and makes pleasant listening. However, I would have liked you to spell out the pronunciation for all the words of the 13 examples in the identification game. Am interested in the meaning and the sounds of each of these words. God bless you.
Great videos, Tim! You are an educator par excellence. I've been to lectures, self-thought by reading hebrew grammars, watching hebrew youtubes, yet none is as good as following yours. I've been watching your videos over & over again for memorization. Please do a complete Hebrew Grammar. God bless you!
As an explanation, Pei, Bet, Vav, Tav, and Kaf have dageshes for pronounciation as of Bet is Vet without a dagesh, Pei is Fei in its final form, and without the dagesh, Vav has 2 prononciations with the dagesh over and in the middle of the letter. Tav has a dagesh but has the same pronounciation, and Kaf is Khaf without the dagesh in the middle. So these letters consisting in this paragraph would never be able to double either as the 5 letters.
I have a question about why you pronounced the sin as a shin in the first word. Just curious. Otherwise; great video! Do you/will you do any conversation?
Since Modern Hebrew rules changed the pronunciation of the Hebrew letter Resh to sound something between a French and a German R, it was also decided that a Resh cannot be doubled. Mizrahim, who do roll the Resh, always double that letter when it comes with a Dagesh. Examples are recited on Rosh Hashanah eve: she'yirboo zachiyoteinu ca'RRubia (may our good deeds be numerous as black eyed peas), or Ca'RRimmon (as numerous as pomegranate seeds).
@@timmcninch To Mizrahim, a dagesh always has consequences. There is a difference in pronouncing ג and גּ. Soft “gh” like the Arabic غ, and hard G like Gabriel. This is comparable with the difference between כ and כּ.
In the example of " bime " the YOD that preceded it is NOT a consonant is part of the VOWEL Hiriq-Yod is Dagesh Qal, but even there is a Begedkefet goes with Dagesh because is an excption of the rule is the PREPOSITION FOR 'IN THE DAYS.
Hi Tim with Dagesh following the wayyhi in Ruth, the preceding word has a vowel - sometimes this will soften the dagesh qal but here it does not - Is the rule not at the start of a Word it is considered to have nothing before it hence the hard sound?
Sorry I'm not a native english speaker, not sure which one is consonant. Can you tell more about that? Is that the first three dageshes only affect the sound of it, but the last dagesh that used in heh, it changes its meaning from "she" to "her"?
זמן: 5:51 : בגלל שישנן אותיות שכיום רוב האנשים (חוץ מהתימנים) אינם מבדילים בהגיה בין הדגושה לרפה - לכן מסדרים את האותיות הדגשות במקום: 'בגד-כפת' (לפי סדר הא'-ב') בסידור אחר: 'בכפ-גדת' ( bakaf gadat )! (השלוש הראשונות - ששומעים את ההבדל והשלוש האחרונות - שאין שומעים את ההבדל!).
This is also what I wondered. Did you find an answer to this? It seems he still pronounces it as mibbet even if the theory just presented just should give mivvet, doubled v (no קל with splosive). From his pronunciation it seems that it got both a doubling and a qal.
I have commented it before, but just have to express again how explicit good this teaching is.
Shalom Tim, your videos are on whole different level. Your instruction is clear concise and well thought out. Much respect to you. Please make more videos! We love them.
ditto! This one helped me ALOT! I was majorly confused!
I had trouble locating the green circle in the game. It also vanished too quickly.
Thanks Sir

Thank you so much Tim, congratulations, you’re the best, seriously!
By far the best tutorials. Really enjoying your blackboard style, voiceover, speed, and animations. Keep it up! More Hebrew and Greek lessons! 😊
I was not getting this! Until I found this! You are breaking it down so that now I a beginning to get it. Thank you so much! Had to subscribe!
You really explained that so good. I'll be watching several times with pin and papper to take notes. Thank you very much.

Fantastic. Very clear indeed. Gentle pace for slow learners like me :)
thank you the LORD bless you
Great lesson. Thanks.

You omitted the dagesh compensative!
I like the test very much !

This was beyond helpful!!! You’re hired! Hey what if the letter with the dagesh begins a word with nothing before it?

i think it is so important
I’m new to this, so are you saying that the vowels marks are not used, and the sounds are understood like in paleo/ancient Hebrew?
Stellar!
Interesting! What blackboard program or software are you using? Would love to use it for my music teaching. Thanks.
For these, I'm actually using the animation features of Apple's Keynote presentation software.

Love Israel ❤!
Love Jerusalem
Love people of God Almighty
Love sons of Jacob ❤
So, does that mean that the dagesh in "mebeyt" tells us to pronounce it as "mevveyt"?
This is also what I wondered. Did you find an answer to this? It seems he still pronounces it as mibbet even if the theory just presented just should give mivvet, doubled v (no קל with splosive). From his pronunciation it seems that it got both a doubling and a qal.
