    Another neat way to remember where to place the dot for Shin and Sin, I learned in a hebrew class is to remember
    ‘sin is NOT RIGHT’.
    It’s a cliche but it helps you to remember
    (So dot goes to the left)

    I wanted to learn hebrew before I was even saved. It seemed the best way to actually understand the Bible if it was something I truly wanted to read and learn from. I've now read the kjv most of the way through, and am starting my journey into hebrew. I really feel like the Spirit is moving me to learn more about the jews as a whole. Its like I woke up one day and just wanted to know all the things! It's very exciting for me, I am loving the whole process. Thank you for sharing this beautiful knowledge with the world.

      Here's the correct actual Hebrew Semitic pronunciation : The pronunciation in the Video is modern and European influenced :
      The א : Aleph : glottal stop : Like the Aramaic Aleph ( ܐ ) and the Arabic Hamza ( ء )
      The ג : Gimmel without a Dagesh : (Gh) sound : Like the Arabic Ghayin ( غ ) and the modern Hebrew Resh(ר)
      The ד : Daleth without a Dagesh : (Th) sound as in These
      The ח : Heth : Hard (H) sound : Like the Aramaic Heth ( ܚ ) and Arabic Ha' ( ح )
      The ט : Teth : Hard (T) sound : Like the Aramaic Teth ( ܛ ) and Arabic Ta' ( ط )
      The ע : 'Ayin : Like the Aramaic 'Ayin ( ܥ ) and Arabic 'Ayn ( ع )

I watched your online teaching, and I was very impressed, so I purchased your DVD, the vocab CD's, the English Grammar to Ace and the Charts of Biblical Hebrew. I couldn't be happier. I might also purchase your exercise book for practice. Your teaching is clear and has a precise design strategy. I was progressing well and received a Distinction at the end of the First Semester. two more Semesters until the end of the year!

    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 rounded vowel like Holem, Qames or Shuruk.
    When Shuruk represents conjunctive waw meaning 'and', this is pronounced 'wu' with a short /u/ like in 'put'.
    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), also the same when doubled with Dagesh. If adjacent to another alveolar consonant such as lamed, nun, tav, sameh, seen, tet, or dalet its pronounced as an alveolar trill, like the Spanish /r/.
    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'.
    Tav without Dagesh is like /th/ in 'throw'
    Dalet without Dagesh is /th/ in 'that'.
    Vowels:
    One rule must always be obeyed: All vowels are long except for those in closed, unstressed syllables and Shva and Hateph vowels.
    Shuruk and Kibbus in an unstressed, closed syllable is /u/ as in 'pull' but when in an open or stressed syllable they're pronounced like the /u/ in 'flute'.
    Segol is /e/ in 'bed' when in an unstressed closed syllable. In an open or stressed syllable it's /e/ in 'they like Tsere.
    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 or 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 and the following consonant is Mem, or Nun. 2) The short vowel has Metheg/Gaya and is followed by any of the gutturals Aleph, Hey, Het and Ayin. 3) The short vowel has Metheg/Gaya 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. In all these situations the Metheg/Gaya 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 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 afore-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 Hateph Patah, it goes from /a/ as in 'cat' to /o/ as in 'shower'. And if fixed to Kubus, goes from /u/ as in 'pull' to /u/ as in flute' like Shuruk. And Hateph Qames goes from /o/ in 'horse' to /o/ in the British pronunciation of 'box' .
    This is just a taster and there is much more to read on this fascinating tradition.

      +matt s Very useful info for viewers, thanks for posting.
      One thing though, the accent used in Israel is not ashkenazi (at all lol), but it is sefaradi (european sefaradi that is). It closely resembles the sefaradi accent found in the netherlands, greece, the rest of the balkans, england, and in the spanish and portuguese jewish communities in the americas. Its also close to sefaradi hebrew in Turkey.
      The only difference is, the Israeli Resh is pronounced like the French R. It should be noted that Baghdadi Jews (Mizrahim) pronounce it like the French R as well in their judeo-arabic dialect.
      Arabs from Mosul also pronounce the arabic r like the French R.
      True Sefaradi Jews are european jews, just like ashkenazi jews are. This only means that both groups descend from long standing jewish communities in europe (ones that existed for centuries). However, both groups are almost genetically identical in many cases, and look the same. They are more closely related to each other than to their host populations. And they also are more related to mizrahi jews than to europeans.
      Israeli Hebrew uses sefaradi vowels, and the consonants are closest to sefaradi accents found in europe (except for the french r).
      So Israeli Hebrew is a Sefaradi accent, but not a mizrahi one, and certainly not an ashkenazi one.
      Ashkenazi Hebrew has much more complex vowels that are closest to Yemenite Hebrew (the oldest dialect).
      Sefaradi and Mizrahi vowels are simplified greatly and are like those found in Modern Israeli Hebrew.
      Ashkenazi Jews also pronounce the Taw/Tav as an S usually, like in the word for "house". Ashkenazim say Beis, Sefaradim say Beit.
      Iraqi Jews and Yemenite Jews pronounce the Taw as Thaw, like in Beith.
      Most Sefaradim, even from North Africa, pronounce the Waw as Vav. We do pronounce the Ayin and the Het as guttural, like arabic. But other than that, we usually don't pronounce the other emphatic letters like Tet, or Sadi.
      In Moroccan Jewish communities, we say Matza, not MaSa.
      Sometimes the Qof is pronounced in Morocco, but often it is not. The Tav is always pronounced as T.
      Most Sefaradim from North Africa only differentiate 3 Begad Kefat letters: the B and the V, the K and the Kh, and the P and F sounds.
      We don't pronounce gimmel and dalet (without dagesh) any differently than with.
      Mizrahi Jews from Iraq, Syria, and other arabic speaking countries of the middle east tend to be more traditional or ancient in pronunciation. Especially those in Iraq.
      In Yemen, the Teimani Jews pronounce every consonant the ancient way, but with vowels closest to ashkenazi jews. Stress of syllables can also be different than Mizrahi dialects.
      Mizrahi Jews from Iran never pronounce guttural sounds (except for the "ch" sound in khaf), so their consonants in Hebrew sound like Ashkenazi Jews. Their vowels are simplified though and resemble Persian more, so mizrahim from iran have a very distinct hebrew accent that is not semitic sounding either.

    When i was 15 years old wayback 1985 i happened to read Ps 119 the next Bible Study day i asked my 21 year old Bible Study Teacher what Aleph means and the rest of the strange words in Ps 119. Whenever i came across Psalm 119 i always remember the unanswered question i raised. Come year 2013 when all have an access to the internet. I was suprised and totally delighted to know the meaning of the 22 letters and the crown letters and the sofit, now by Gods grace i have more understanding of the Bible.
    Now I have 4 vesion of the Bible the NKJV, Filipino (Tagalog), Hebrew and Greek Bible. Whenever i have problems understanding a verse Hebrew and Greek version helps.

    If you really want to pronounce Hebrew like how people did in biblical times then these are the original sounds of the letters that have been influenced by European Jewish pronunciation while Middle Eastern and North African Jews still keep a pronunciation closer to the original below :
    The א : Aleph : glottal stop : Like the Aramaic Aleph ( ܐ ) and the Arabic Hamza ( ء )
    The ג : Gimmel without a Dagesh : (Gh) sound : Like the Arabic Ghayin ( غ ) and the modern Hebrew Resh(ר)
    The ד : Daleth without a Dagesh : (Th) sound as in These
    The ח : Heth : Hard (H) sound : Like the Aramaic Heth ( ܚ ) and Arabic Ha' ( ح )
    The ט : Teth : Hard (T) sound : Like the Aramaic Teth ( ܛ ) and Arabic Ta' ( ط )
    The ע : 'Ayin : Like the Aramaic 'Ayin ( ܥ ) and Arabic 'Ayn ( ع )
    The צ : Ssadi : Hard (S) sound : Like the Aramaic Ssadi ( ܨ )and the Arabic Ssad ( ص )
    The ק : Qof : Hard (Q) sound : Like the Aramaic Qof ( ܩ ) and the Arabic Qaf ( ق )
    The ת : Taw without a Dagesh : Like the (Th) sound in Three

      The video's pronounciation is closer to modern Hebrew than biblical Hebrew,
      In biblical Hebrew ט and ת are distinct
      So are כ and ק,
      Plus ח is pharyngeal, not uvular, צ is pharyngeal s not ts, ר is a trill/flap both שׂ and שׁ aren't pronounced like s,
      ח and ע had two different sounds for each letter
      And like Zen Y said א and ע aren't silent and distinct

      @@boliusabol822 - Well the second letter can be pronounced VET or BET, and that applies to both biblical and modern Hebrew. It depends entirely upon its position and one just needs to learn to read and speak the language to learn the hidden grammar rules. Grammars as explanations after the fact are more confusing than helpful.

    Ancient hebrew actually pronounced the guttural letters. 3ayin sounds exactly like arabic. 7eth (Heth), does as well. The resh is trilled like arabic raa. Mizrahi jewish communties from Iraq and Syria still pronounce these letters along with Qof (just like arabic and Tet just like the arabic Taa. Ghimel without dagesh lene is pronounced like arabic ghayn I believe.
    Modern Israeli Hebrew is basically a mix of german/spanish jewish accents.Although some older sefaradi Jews from North africa still pronounce 3ayin and 7et back in the throat. But in normal modern hebrew speech, they don't pronounce dhalet without dagesh lene or Tav like Th without the dagesh lene. Only hard sounds are preserved in modern speech with the BeGad KefaT letters in modern israeli hebrew, even with a north african sefaradi accent.
    'mizrahi' is more a political term now, its sometimes wrongly used to describe the sefaradi (spanish) jewish communities of north africa. Mizrahim proper are really from Iraq, Iran, some jews of Syria, the Caucasus, Uzbekistan, Kurdistan and sometimes the word also includes Teimanim (yemenites)
    North Africa, Turkey, Greece are Sefaradi, not Mizrahi, although we are wrongly labeled as mizrahim today by most people.

      Thank you for the correction. Since I'm already 65 years old, and I've been out of school for many many years now, I doubt that I'm going to start learning English to perfection. I may not have time left. So I am dabbling in some Hebrew maybe enough to learn how to read the Hebrew Bible, so I don't think English comes into view with learning Hebrews. Even so I was just coming on here to give a compliment, I was not expecting someone to ridicule my usage of English. Thanks again for the attitude.

    Sin and Shin are both like "Light" but a) Light as a Particle, b) Light as a Wave, or c) Light as a single Ray or multiple Emanation without Its functional dual nature as both or either Wave or Particle. So S/SH-IN as the single and very last 22nd Letter as in c) or as split up into a) and b), thus making 23 letters.
