Super helpful

I have a question that may seem odd. I am in discussion with an elder of mine and would like to know if the letter ayin when at the end of a name is spoken ah or ay? This was my first time seeing your channel. I liked how you put it together. I am honing to check out more. Thanks for this video that was not only close to my answer but informed me of more. Shalum

Helpful, but I feel like I need a special video for when a word ends with resh. I can't come close to pronouncing resh like presented in the video (e.g., "refrigerator") in those cases.

Slovak language has only EE sound and prolonged EE sound... but not IH sound...

Any word in Hebrew begins with a shva na so there is no jamming consonants together in Hebrew.

Hey man. Nice video, but we don't have that many h sounds in Ukranian. In most words like hata, hory (хата, гори) it's het.

Thanks so much for these two techniques and lots of examples comparing two accents. The thing that I struggle with, and wish were addressed more completely in your tutorial, is words that contain both resh and chet, sometimes right next to each other, sometimes separated by a syllable or two. When I hear myself trying to pronounce them as different sounds, they are extremely similar. I wonder if a Hebrew speaker would even be able to understand me. Thanks again!

That doesn't explain why aleph with the qmś qđn (אָ) is pronounced as O especially in yiddish.

my students cannot say th. They are embarrased to stick out their tongue and when they do they can't express air. We need you to explain this in Spanish! thanks!

Thank you for this video. I'm going to be officiating a Celebration of Life here in the USA where it will be relevant to pronounce the name Nechami repeatedly, and she is an Israeli immigrant and I'd really like to pronounce the name of this important person in the ceremony correctly. I'm still finding it hard at a few points in the video to know which one is the more natural or correct one and which is wrong due to being "too much", but mostly I understand.

Toda, this was helpful. Pray you and your family are safe. Shalom aleichem

i just have a hard time blending it into words. Especially with ך

Please don't have the gringos repeat their mistakes because that's what stays in my mind. Or remedy it by repeating correctly as many times as mistakes. Thank you for this much needed addition to my learning.

Been learning Hebrew for one of my friends, got very stuck on this sound, thank you ^^

This is so helpful. I have just finished a first/beginners level Hebrew and teaching was really good. I had been thinking that I would need to develop sounding out 'chet' and then it dawned on me that since I am Scottish, I could do it with practise. Thank you!

Can you make more videos? This is so good, so helpful. Thank you!

You're incorrect about the origin of the Resh pronounciation. The ancient Hebrew Resh wasn't pronounced that way, this was an influence from Ashkenazi Jews from Germany who had an accent when doing the authentic Hebrew R. It later became the standard used by Israelis but it's not the original Hebrew sound and older teachers do not teach Hebrew like you're doing it because it's technically incorrect, it's an accent that came from another region and later influenced the original language.

Muchas gracias,

10:02 Esto me va a servir mucho para tener certeza de cuándo debo pronunciar abierta o fechada. Obrigado pelo vídeo!

Too fast for me

Bro, you're the second to none. You're the best. How did you learn that?

always hysterical how these socalled teachers are speaking at 100 mph to students who ARE LEARNING ANOTHER LANGUAGE. thats right, they do not know the other language, you are suppose to be bright enough to realize your job is to facilitate the transition to the other language but judging from this video, you make no attempt to facilitate anything

The brazilian accent was ABSOLUTELLY accurate i was even scared hahaha

Great stuff, Couldn't resist more and more...will be back - and practise!

Thanks so much Reuben. I am in Israeli but originally from Australia. My sabra husband and family should have given me the perfect accent ( we spoke Hebrew not English) But I also had to use English a lot for other people - and never could kick the accent. ( some thought I did but others were not convinced) Your small detail linguistic tips are really helpful. I am detrmined to shake this accent and your vids will be a real help!

I'm from the US South and I can't do a retroflex R. I've managed to learn a lot of sounds that aren't in my English phonological inventory like the Spanish trilled R, the French/German velar R, syllable initial /ŋ/ for Thai, the /ʀ̝̊/ of the Hebrew ח‎ khet, syllable initial /ɫ/ dark L, a variety of vowels present in Thai that aren't present in my accent of English (though I've never managed Australian triphthongs, only a sequence of monophthongs)... But I've never managed retroflex R.

Do sefardic Israelis used the rolled Spanish R? As a trained opera singer, I was trained to roll the Rs which feels easier on my voice.

Fantastic! Thanks

Great series, so useful for teaching. will recommend to students, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

So, it means, the ancient pronunciation might have been ... Alefani... and ... Ayinani... RIght?

Congrats! I just found this channel and it has helped me a lot with my English pronunciation. It's what I need to focus on the most. Thanks 🎉

Imita mejor a los argentinos que los hispanos no argentinos😂

Get to the fucking point. It's two words.

I'm creating an index of diacritics and was so uncertain as to the sound of Sao Paulo given as example for the tilde over the A in Sao I had to hear it for myself. I've had formal education in both Spanish and French and still can't grasp this sound, wow. The Sound Garden example is great, ty!

First technique very helpful, thanks!

I have a theory that the American general Colin Powell pronounced his name as Cohlin and not Colin to stop Americans from pronouncing it as Calin! I remember the 1990s American remake of The Three Musketeers where Chris O'Donnel's D'Artagnan meets Constance for the first time and when he asks her what her name was she replied 'Constance' in the correct way it should be pronounced and he repeated it to himself as 'Canstance' obviously for the American audience to understand what she said!

how do I understand what you are saying when are you speaking in a language that I do not understand

Congrats and Mazal Tov!

You should teach, if you don’t already. love your style

Just tell people how to pronounce the city's name correctly.

1:11 Skips intro

It's "Ğ" sound

I’ve been pronouncing it like Sahm Powlo this whole time 😂😂😅

Oh, this is fantastic. Thanks a bunch. Biggest hurdle in my pronunciation has been the "tre" prefix in words.

ברו, אני מאשדוד

I think I bruised my uvula. 😂

Definitely giving you a shout out in my next video. I'm learning Hebrew to read the bible and am doing an art project to go along with my study. Nothing too serious, but it's like iconography stuff, meant for me to practice and have fun. I'm doing gimel and dalet and trying to record myself saying derech and it's taken me a week for just one word! This series of videos is amazing! Toda Rabbi!

The J in spanish does make that sound, except in caribbean countries and some others which they usually make the J sound like the english H
