I just strated to learn Hebrew by myself with this video so, I can not be 100% sure but the Alphabet system is very similar with Korean language which is first language I've learn when I was born. I think I can learn Hebrew so fast. It is so fun! Thanks for good lecture! Thanks a lot!

As a student of Theology in the University of Athens I was taught Ancient Hebrew and when I was writting down I used the printing version of the letters. The handwritten version seems completely unfamiliar to me...Eventhough, I find these lessons very interesting.

Thank you The of HebrewPod101...!!

[@hanarotman3203]

I'm a Hebrew teacher, and I was looking for an additional resource for my students. I can not recommend your course: it contains a lot of mistakes! For instance, in this lesson: 1. Consonant letter "Alef" does not mean a vowel sound "A." 2. The word "roof" גַּג has the vowel point "Patach" (and not "Kamatz"). 3. The first vowel in the word "dad" אַבָּא is also "Patach."

[@dianaveronica85]

Then what is alef ??? And How is it different from ayin ????

[@Shaked8888]

Angel Veronica In Ancient Hebrew, א and ע got distinct pronunciation. However, Modern Hebrew doesn’t distinct the two, in terms of pronunciation, and only a few which their families originate from specific countries might pronounce ע properly. Same with כ and ח. Additional different pronunciation letters that became redundant: תּ-ט, ג, ד, ו , כּ-ק, ס, צ, ר, שׂ,ת The ones I’ve placed alone are ones which their pronunciation either changed or been neglected. (ת-th like in thin, ר-different from Arabic ר which was the original, שׂ - a special sh sound, צ - sometimes Arabic س, Arabic ظ and ض, and ס used to be like Arabic ס, and ו-w, ד-th like in that,ג like Arabic غ)

[@dianaveronica85]

@@Shaked8888 Wow... thank you so much.....

[@AndreHansen96]

thank you for clearing that up for me. I just couldn't find any logical explanation to why there was kamatz on first letter in aba. I think she just means that alef alone has the vowel A. I listen to a lot of Hebrew music and just from looking at the titles it's obvious that alef can have other vowels than A

[@Mrjohndoe525]

In the word Aba, why is the aleph needed at the end of the word? How can someone know that it is needed to write Aleph at the end of the word if it's not needed for the pronunciation of the word? If there would be no aleph at the end of the word wouldn't the pronunciation be exactly the same?

[@kyawkk4100]

Thank You Jesus.

[@MrPainfulTruth]

Why would you add a vovel to ABA? i dont get it and she didnt really explain

[@SKyrim190]

I had the same question in mind! I would imagine writing either with the niqud system or the vowels, but I don't understand mixing the two

[@detroit7543]

MrPainfulTruth me too

[@HoochFighter]

The sound for א is somewhat nuanced, and is silent. So when using Niqqud, I think the vowel sound is added following each consonant. So, the characters sound out ":silent: + :A:", ":B: + :A:", ":silent:", and the whole word sounds out ABA.

[@SKyrim190]

So א is technically a consonant, with a very subtle sound, that most modern speakers of Hebrew don't even bother doing?

[@HoochFighter]

א is a consonant, but since there are no true vowels (only Niqqud), I believe א absorbs the sound the vowel would make.

what is the difference between א and the niqqud which is used to show that a word is pronounced as an a

[@thelastarab4541]

The letter aliph is like a long vowel , the other upside down is like a short vowel but it isnt really a vowel in arabic its callee el fetha

Thank you

[@aahoutan]

i have a question : the word fish is pronounced - dag- but why the gimel letter is before the dalet letter ?? is int that pronounced gad?

[@aahoutan]

sorry my bad , Hebrew writing starts from the right

[@DChrome]

A. Houtan :) דג

[@PGIFilms]

Okay... 2 lessons in & I'm already confused by the niqquds. If they are to denote a vowel sound between it's letter & the next letter isn't it redundant when placed under a letter that already has a vowel sound? In the first lesson the word Aba (father) is introduced & pronounced as it would when saying the corresponding sound of each letter (A-B-A), but in this lesson she adds the niqquds, so why does it not change the pronounciation to "Ah-ah-Bah-ah" (A-A-B-A-A)?

[@nymklaymin8281]

I have this exact question. why has no one respond to this great question as of yet?

[@detroit7543]

helo, i want to ask : 1. why kamats sounding "a" is needed when vowel "A" is already present? at first i try to guess it will sound "a" with longer sound but seems like it is the same 2. why written and printed version have so much difference in shape? thanks

[@Nasrev]

am loving this

[@Slamdudes]

I really like this style presentation.......I am really trying to learn Hebrew as fast as I can....and this style is the best .....Please list all of Yana's lessons for me......I have seen: "Learning Hebrew Writing-Hei and Alef Beit","How to Greet" and "How to Introduce" ......Can You please list the rest of this series ...I've had trouble locating them...Toda Raba

[@yjohnnyy618]

the reason we add the ' to some letters as gimel, tsadik and zayin it's because that sound doesn't exist originally in hebrew, in ancient hebrew. the sounds of "j" like jelly, the sound of "ch" like china, the sound of "zh" like in je suis in french.

[@Fibromatose]

thank you for the video! There is something I found quite disturbing, there are three forms of alphabet in the video : the print form (ok) the handwritten form (still ok) but there is a third one, nobody talks about. what is it used for?

[@ombretenebre1463]

what do you mean?

[@SammySam316]

+Skygg Synn I think she means the Rashi Letters/'script (which are mainly used in rabbinical literature).

[@Fibromatose]

+Skygg Synn if u stop the video at 1:01, you can see three differents form of the alphabet! One of them in the print form, the other one the handwritten form, but what about the third one? :O

[@SammySam316]

+Isa Collins Isn't the third one the same as the first? Print forms...not much difference in the one she wrote with bare hands (third one) and the other computerized copy (first one). They are both print forms. Strangely the same thing.

[@ombretenebre1463]

that is like latin letters, have these ones we use in typing and cursive ones which we use to write faster and save time.

[@klausmn4793]

Hi Jana Thanks for the excellent lessons Question: the handwritten Bet in aba in this lesson looks different from the handwritten Bet in lesson 1 - how come?

[@HebrewPod101]

Shalom Klaus Møller-Nielsen, Thank you very much for your comment and feedback. It is wonderful having you here! To your question, each person has their own personal style when hand writing, that is probably the reason for the difference that you find between the both. However, they are both OK. Happy Hebrew learning, Lenny Team HebrewPod101.com

[@r9ffy711]

I have one quick question. Is there a specific name for the comma thing that you used to make the sound like George. Or is it also called Kamats

[@xdank7790]

We usually call it "Geresh".

[@iriseiselt934]

I love 💕 it

[@asifmuniruniverse7732]

Yes of course I do

[@BonafideShaunDent]

As of now the biggest thing I'm wrapping my head around is that there sea yo be a symbol for the name IG the word, the written form (I'm guessing cursive) and a symbol for print. So its three symbols to remember but only two are used primarily...

[@TheMV1992]

Something disturbs me: In the first lesson (Alef and Beit) the handwritten Beit looks a lot different than in this (and the following) video. Which one is correct? P.S.: great channel!

[@thename305]

It's may looks a little bit different, but the two of them are correct. It should look like the first video, but because it's handwriting you won't write it exactly the same. It won't confuse somebody who knows the language.

I have listened to a few Hebrew teacher on the I-net, but Yana's accent is beautiful and I like her way of teaching Hebrew more that the other teacher. I would like to know where is Yana from? Also, from listening to Yana, I have learned how to say "until next time" which she always say at the end of her lessons. NKD

Hi Jorge Bonilla, Thank you for posting. The last word Yana is saying is להתראות - le'hitra'ot. It means "see you later" in Hebrew (it literally means "to see each other"). Keep Enjoying Hebrew! להתראות :) Sincerely, Yaara Team HebrewPod101.com

"Lehitraot" is an informal way to say "Good bye"

[@agerabrozz2892]

Can anyone help me please.... I'm trying to understand how the kamatz goes under the alef and the bet in aba. Please explain this to me please

[@HebrewPod101]

Agera Brozz Hi Agera Brozz, Thank you for commenting. The kamatz stand for the sound "a". When it goes under a certain letter, like B, it makes it sound like BA (as opposed to BI or BO etc.). Was this explanation helpful? Please let us know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Yaara Team HebrewPod101.com

[@sofiasemitsogloutsiapou2188]

I have the same question.. since the word aba already has the vowel alef twice, that makes the sound ''a'', why would you need the kamatz under the beit? Also why put the kamatz under alef (two ''a'' sounds together?) ?

[@hali3641]

Sofia Semitsoglou because alef not always mean A (usually but not always).sometimes it means O or E or I so if you want it to sound A you need the kamatz.

[@johnhsu9904]

+Sofia Semitsoglou Im new to hebrew too but i think of it like this: if you have "ah", "bah", and "cah", it seems like bah and cah are the only ones beginning with consonants, when in hebrew, the "ah" techinically has a consonant in front, which would be alef. So really alef sounds like a grunt or a cough where you don't vocalize.

[@ernestamoore4385]

Confusing. If aleph is a vowel, why does it need a niqqud below it? It has a vowel sound already?

[@e.j.miller3358]

Aleph isn't a vowel... I wish I knew how? But... all 22 letters are consonants and the dots etc. are the vowels... that's what I've gotten so far. If I'm wrong people please correct me! :)

[@HebrewPod101]

elissajeanette Shalom elissajeanette, Thank you for your comment. Yes, that's right! All 22 Hebrew letters are consonants. The vowels are represented by the Niqqud (what you call dots etc) meaning "kamats" and "patakh" for "A", "khirik" for "I", "shuruk" for "U", "tserei" for "E" and "kholam" for "O". Happy Hebrew learning, Lenny Team HebrewPod101.com

[@rpf276]

Aleph is not a vowel it is a consonant, and the vowel you hear is from the assigned niqqud. You can use different niqqud to make aleph sound like a different vowel. But niqqud is typically not written it is memorized in time, both in modern and ancient hebrew (bible). One can actually read English if you are a well practiced reader without vowels since you already have them memorized for words, it is not as hard as you think.

[@incoengg8985]

When we write AABAA (at 2.50 minute) should the nikkud Qimet e under Bet or under Alef? You write Qimet under first Alef but not under the second Alef.

[@satriorudi3742]

Why hand writen is different with print ?

[@toomashanso187]

why is the kamats used in 'aba' when you can already see the vowels?

[@leontrotsky5747]

its to show that it is there. the dots and so tell you that a vowel sound is there. does not matter if the vowel is actually written or not.

[@aaronjacobamadorsalazar1934]

Тоомас Хансо because "alef" usually changes, meaning it's both a consonant and a vowel

[@007yuval]

yes. in israel road signs, books etc are not written with niqqud.

[@ultrad-rex1389]

Does the Niqqud symbol in "אַבָּא" mean that the sound "Ah" after the pronounced letter sound???

[@HebrewPod101]

Hi TJOC / FNAF Fan, Thanks for posting! Yes, the word אַבָּא is pronounced "A-Ba". both Kamatz and patach that are appearing in אַבָּא are A vowels. Yours, Roi Team Hebrewpod101.com

[@ultrad-rex1389]

So, does that mean that "אַבָּא"? Why, does the Alef have an underline if it's only said "ah"?? And if "Bet" has that symbol under, does that mean that a short "ah" comes right after? And the apostrophe on 3:15. Is that the only letter with an apostrophe?? And does the sound always say "J"???
