    Sofit (from Hebrew סופית - final, finally) - a final form of some letters in Hebrew.

    Consonant - a sound that is produced when the breath that flows out through the mouth is blocked by the teeth, tongue or lips. For example - b, g, d, f, k.

    Vowel - a sound that is produced when the breath that flows out through the mouth without being blocked by the teeth, tongue or lips. For example - a, o, u, e, i.

Description

Shalom, everyone. Welcome to the Hebrew Alphabet course.

  • Are you willing to expand your knowledge of the world by mastering a new tongue?

  • Do you plan to visit Israel and you want to understand the basics of the language?

  • Do you wish to speak Hebrew and you need a solid base?

If you answered 'Yes', then this course is perfect for you as it covers the first and essential step in any language – learning the alphabet. You might think understanding Hebrew letters and reading is like rocket science, as letters look completely different and words are written from right to left but I must warn you that by the end of this course you will change your mind.

After completing the course you will know the alphabet, you will be able to pronounce all letters confidently, distinguish printed and handwritten letters, and also practice reading and writing in Hebrew.

This course will get you there, trust me.

I went through the same process of learning Hebrew, starting with the most complex step, as I thought, reading those letters. But now it seems even funny to me, as I can easily read and write in Hebrew.

If I could do it, you also can.

Let’s see how the course is built. To make learning the alphabet easier and more effective we are going to break it down in small groups. In each section, you will learn through short video-lesson, slide-presentations, and quizzes.

As you know, practice makes perfect. So every lesson is accompanied by handouts or practice materials that you should print and complete after each lesson or section of the course. Similarly to copybooks, they’re designed to provide you with extra practice of the material you’ve learned at the video lessons. Finding the time and completing the tasks will help you to master and memorize the alphabet faster.

So, let’s get started! It is the right time to learn  Hebrew.

Who this course is for:

  • People who are absolute beginners in Hebrew.
  • People who might learn Hebrew to move to Israel.
  • People who intend to use Hebrew to communicate daily.
  • People of various ages who are willing to expand their knowledge of the world by learning a new language.
  • People who are interested in Hebrew as it is one of the most ancient languages spoken today.
