Beginning Hebrew |
|
|
The very beginner at Hebrew most always starts by learning the Hebrew alphabet (or Alef-Bet).
Notice how even the English word 'alphabet' comes from Greek in Hebrew (in Greek, the first letter is alpha and second letter is Beta, but in Hebrew, the first letter is 'ALEF' and the second letter is 'BET'.
Students must learn to see a word, and sound it out phonetically. Hebrew is totally phonetic when reading, because each letter (when the dots are present) can only be pronounced one specific way. (Yes, different people groups may pronounce it differently, but we teach the Sephardic style Hebrew as used in modern Israel.) Writing Hebrew can be trickier, because there are two letters that could make the 'S' sound, and two letters the make the 'K' sound.
'At Home with Hebrew' is our beginnger program. It consists of over 700 screens, and contains hundreds of practice drills and exercises. It starts you out by learning just two letters at a time, and two or three vowels. Each lesson then adds a couple of more letters. At the end of 13 lessons (which should take only 15-30 minutes each), you should be to 'read' Hebrew. By 'read', I mean see a word, and at least slowly sound it out. That doesn't mean that you will have the vocabulary to know exactly what it means.
The second stage of beginning Hebrew is learning vocabulary. 'At Home With Hebrew' teaches the top 400 words of the Bible (based on frequencey of use).
'At Home With Hebrew' also teaches some modern Hebrew grammar, and includes vocabulary on synagogues words.
In order to be a complete introduction to Hebrew, 'At Home With Hebrew' also includes several Jewish blessing, chants and songs sung by excellent musicians. Music is a great way for a beginner to learn Hebrew. The songs are 'catchy', and as you sing them over and over, they stick in your mind, and help you to improve your vocabulary.
