Joining the choir about how useful this video was! And would like to add that I love your way of turning it into a funny sketch rather than just repeating both versions dryly!!! תודה רבה!
Why even have the ע in the alphabet if you refuse to pronounce it? I would never talk like this. The ע has a specific sound and it should be pronounced
A bit funny, as many letters in English are either not pronounced or have morphed into something different. Water, butter, if you're American there's no t or r in those words when spoken.
Europeanized Hebrew sounds awful. Why don't Israelis put more effort into pronouncing the Semitic letters correctly? Is it because they don't like how authentic Semites speak?
I'm with you, Jibriel. It's a damn shame that people don't pronounce ayin, or distinguish between khet/khaf, or kaf/quf. One consequence is that perfectly good words are problematic because they sound too much like other words. For example את (shovel) and עת (epoch) and אט (slow) and עט (pen). But I don't think it reflects any kind of Jewish antisemitism. Language just kinda evolves unplanned. And it's worth pronouncing things right if only because it improves your spelling.
For me, yes, I don't really like the glottal letters, they require more effort to pronounce, and I just prefer the simpler pronunciations of the Europeanized Hebrew
@@MozartJunior22 Well that's not real hebrew then, we Arabic speakers don't feel that the glottal letters are any different than the other letters in terms of difficulty of pronounciation, if you get used to it at a young age it won't be a problem for you
@@MozartJunior22 I grew up in Hawaii - glottal stops are native to me. In fact the very first places we lived was Ka'a'awa. There's one town, Aiea pronounced ai'ea, that has no consonants at all.
Thank you so much for putting the effort. This video should have way more views.
Thank you!

Thank you Dragon Curve Enthusiast! Happy you loved it :)
Awwwe. This was nice and informative. Keep it up :)
Remarkably useful! I could use a million videos like this and then I'd be able to understand my wife and her family when they speak to each other
Oh my gosh I wish I would’ve learned this year’s ago thank you
Also, don't forget the Israeli's favorite contraction, "Shnekel"
Interesting 😆😆😆👍👍👍
19 really throws me off. Chi esrei?
Cha esre 😊 The [ch] sound is formed by the sequence of [t] followed by [sh]. תשע

Then you would sound like someone with an Arabic accent. Israelis bare pronounce Ayin anymore.

למה אמריקאים צריכים עברית?
למה לא? אולי להגר לישראל, או שהם צריכים לבית הספר. אני מנסה ללמוד כי אני אוהבת מוזיקה ישראלית ואני רוצה לברר מה הזמרים שרים.
מאותה סיבה שישראלים צריכים שפה זרה, כשהם עוברים לארץ זרה :)
