first time I undertand U pronounciation. toda

[@phyllis5705]

Thank you . Your lessons are helpful. They might be even more helpful if you omit saying the specific example of what is wrong. It only reinforces heating the incorrect wording. Also the background music doesn’t really add anything and at times is distracting. Overall you are a very clear communicator and a good teacher

[@hebrew4learners]

Hi! Thanks a lot for your appreciation and feedback. I've noted your comment on the background music. I'll remove it next time once the lesson part begins. I've also noted your comment about the incorrect vs correct ways. It's a real pleasure to hear from learners. I also learn a lot about the better way to teach thanks to comments like yours. Much shalom to you!

There´s sometinhg that doesn`t make sense. "D" is not in the rule "lips together", like M, B, P, F, but the VAV turns into U. Why is that? (11:15)

[@Isaiah-kg8rj]

These are great vid’s, and I am listening to them over and over and learning a lot. However, I’ve got a picky comment. V and F are not bi labels. They are not made by pressing the lips together. They are made by pressing your upper teeth to your lower lip. That is why they are called labiodentals.

[@user-tb4mc5tf3o]

טובה מאוד

[@James-ph4yk]

Enjoying the videos but A little confused about 1 of the examples you gave. You said that when the lips are pressed together on the next consonant after the vav you pronounce it as U... but on one example you gave (chalav udvash) te vav is before a D which isn't pronounced with lips pressed together... so how does it become a U sound... thanks ...

[@hebrew4learners]

Hi James, The word "dvash" is pronounced with a "dv" sound. It's so fast that what really happens is that the "v" sound is what one tries to produce. Try pronouncing "dv" and you'll notice that your lips will indeed press together. If you don't, you'll end up saying "dash" which is not correct. That's why we say "udvash". I hope that clarifies things for you. Happy learning !

Is this Hebrew or Yiddish?

Why is baal husband? Sounds like ba'al aka lord or the Satan? Interesting

[@hebrew4learners]

Baal is the Hebrew word for husband.

[@petarjovanovic1481]

That is because it is the same word. The word is the title meaning lord or master and it was the title for the Canaanite god Hadad. Hadad Ba'al who is the main adversary to the God of the Hebrew Bible. In Arabic and Hebrew, the word is used to mean a husband, women's lord. Many people don't like this word because of the misogynistic connotation.
