Introduction

Since Hebrew is written in the Hebrew alphabet, to

read Hebrew you need to associate the sounds with a
different system of symbols than the Latin alphabet. A
complete listing of the Hebrew alphabet can be found
starting on page 4. This is for your information only:
you will not need the list to be able to read Hebrew
since all of the instruction is on the audio.

In Hebrew you read from right to left, the opposite

of English. The first few pages in this booklet are in
English and should be read from left to right; however,
the pages teaching Hebrew, starting with page 4,
should be read from right to left.

In Hebrew, the major vowel sounds are: ah, eh,

ee, o, and oo. Some vowels are represented by more
than one sign. The reason for this is that in ancient
times there were more vowel sounds than there are
today and the various forms of transcription have been
maintained even when there is no sound difference.
And there is also a punctuation vowel, called schva,
which is sometimes silent.

There are twenty-two consonants in the Hebrew

alphabet, written with thirty-one letters. As in
the case of vowels, there are some letters which
in Hebrew sound alike, but which originally were
different sounds. This is especially true in the
 Hebrew 2

case of some guttural sounds which are no longer

pronounced gutturally in Hebrew.

There are two letters which are silent and serve

as vowel carriers. There are two letters which have a
different sound when a dot is added. There are five
letters which have two forms: one form when written
at the beginning or middle of the word, and another
form when written at the end of the word. Having
different letters for the same sound may cause diffi-
culties in spelling, but not in reading.

Hebrew script does not normally include vowels

and consonant dots. These are only included
for beginning readers, in poetry, and in the Old
Testament, and are otherwise used only when it
is necessary to avoid ambiguities of meaning. As
of the second grade in elementary school, Israelis
are able to read without vowels, by guessing the
correct pronunciation. In this booklet, the vowels
and consonant dots are included in the first eighteen
lessons. We have not included the “dots,” called
dagesh chazak, in cases where these dots do not
change the pronunciation.

There are twenty Reading Lessons. The first fifteen

Reading Lessons are a review from Level 1. They’ll give
you a solid introduction to reading Hebrew. The final
five lessons include letters between a husband and
2
 Hebrew 2

wife and two work colleagues. In Lessons Nineteen

and Twenty you will be introduced to reading Hebrew
without vowel markers and consonant dots. To help
ease this transition, we’ve included the same lesson
on the following page with the vowel markers and
consonant dots. It is important, however, to refer
to these pages only after making every attempt at
reading these words, as you will see them printed in
Israel without the markers and dots.

These lessons are printed in the Hebrew “square

type.” You will note that there are no capital letters in
Hebrew and western style punctuation is used.

The recorded portion of the reading materials for

Hebrew 2 will be found at the end of the program.
You can do the Readings when it is most convenient
for you, either with the lessons, or entirely after
completing the full 30 lessons. Full instructions on
how to proceed are in the recording.

 Hebrew 2

1 The spelling of the second word differs when spelled

without vowel markers. Without vowel markers the
“o” is represented by the vav; with vowel markers it
is represented by the dot after the third letter, chaf.
The vowel marker under the alef in the second word
consists of two vowel markers, a schva (two dots)
and an “e” (three dots). The schva is silent and only
the “e” is pronounced.
2 The first vowel marker in the last word is pro-
nounced as an “o” and not as an “a.”
3The second vowel marker in the last word is pro-
nounced as an “o” and not as an “a.”
4 The spelling of the third word differs when spelled
without vowel markers. Without vowel markers the
“o” is represented by the vav; with vowel markers it
is represented by the dot after the third letter, chaf.
The vowel marker under the alef in the last word
consists of two vowel markers a schva (two dots)
and an “e” (three dots). The schva is silent and only
the “e” is pronounced.
