Module 4/Page 1Modern Hebrew for Beginners

Learning to Read Hebrew

In Modules 2 - 6, the basic building blocks developed in Module 1 are applied to combinations of small groups of Hebrew letters and vowels to generate Hebrew reading exercises using simple sentences constructed out of these letters.*

There is the matter of placing the accent on the correct syllable in multi-syllabic words. As noted in the Introduction to Module 1, this is a rather complex topic that will be revisited at a later time. Until then, the accented syllable in a multi-syllabic word will be shown in the standard black font and the rest of the word will be shown in a different color.

* Please note that, due to the increasing volume of possible single words as more letters are added, Modules 4-6 no longer include tables of single Hebrew words. The exercises consist of simple sentences constructed from words that use the letters learnt through the respective module.

* As was noted in Module 1/Slide 7, the letters ד ,ג are marked by a dagesh qal when at the beginning of a word or following a closed syllable, i.e., � � ,ג ד [their sounds are unaffected].

** The end-letters ,ן ם are not displayed in the table since they are not vocalized in Modern Hebrew and produce only their respective consonantal sound [the Hebrew Bible contains

several instances where the end-letter ן is vocalized with a qamats � � and pronounced ן .[נ*** Extremely rare case.
