Es EDUCATIONAL SERVICES LANGUAGE /30 SPEAKING A YG Phrase Dictionary and Study Guide A FEW WORDS FROM CHARLES BERLITZ WORLD FAMQUS LINGUIST Let me introduce you to the cassette course you have chosen to study. In it you will find the basic phrases needed for communication in this lan- guage. There are two important things to remem- ber about learning a new language: Be interested in the people, their country and language. Want to leam the language. Practice it as often as you can. Nothing is more effective in creating a friendly atmo- sphere and nothing flatters people more than when a foreigner tries to speak their language. The voice on these cassettes will say a phrase in English. Then you will hear the translation of the phrase repeated twice. During the pause after the second repetition, repeat the phrase aloud. Try to imitate the pronunciation as nearly as you can. Read the words as they are spoken on the cas- sette and use the guide to help you remember the words and pronounce them during the pauses, Remember, knowing the language Is the best way of knowing the country and enjoying it more.

It BASIC HEBREW GRAMMAR (not recorded) . a7 developed some three thousand years ago in ancient Israel, a and in modern times it has been undergoing a unique process IMPORTANT SIGNS (not recorded) of revival. Hebrew is the official language of over four milion VOCABULARY INDEX leasitcenpi yen 54 people in Israel. Outside Israel it is taught in schools and programs in Jewish communities as well as in colleges and universities worldwide Hebrew was spoken for some 1300 years in ancient times, from the settlement of Canaan by the Israelites in about 1200 8.c., until after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 4.0. When the Jews became dispersed, Hebrew ceased to be used as a spoken language for some 1700 years. Nevertheless, the written Hebrew continued to grow and expand, serving as the liturgical, scholarly and literary language, as well as the language of documents and correspondence of the Jewish people. During this time a vasi literature was written in Hebrew, covering such diverse areas as biblical commentary, law, philosophy, science, history, travel, religious and secular poetry, drama and entertainment. In addition, numerous books were translated inlo the language. Hebrew newspapers began lo appear in ‘the 18th century, and secular Hebrew novels in the 18th century. Each product of this intensive intellectual activity contributed to the growth of the language. The renaissance of Hebrew as a spoken language was linked to the awakening of Jewish nationalism, Zionism, and pioneering, which began toward the end of the 19th century. Eliezer Ben Yehudah, who left Poland to live in Jerusalem in 1881, was instrumental in presenting and propagating the idea of using Hebrew again for daily communication. Adjusting the traditional written language to the needs of everyday life in modern times was not easy, but it was carried out with great enthusiasm. When the slate of Israel was proclaimed in 1948, Hebrew was already a functioning modern language, fully established as the living language of the Jewish community in the country. Throughout the ages, some aspects of the language remained stable while others changed greatly. Each period inherited the vocabulary and grammar of earlier times, yet it also expanded its vocabulary and developed new syntactical patterns and meanings. Thus, a different, distinct form of Hebrew was created. The student who focuses on one period in the history of the language will be able to transfer his or her studies to the Hebrew of other periods. In the span of one hundred years since the first days of its revival, thousands of new words have been created in the language. This is possible thanks to the structural character istics of Hebrew which enable davalopment from its own roots. Vocabulary creation and other language-planning is- sues are supervised by the Academy of the Hebrew lan- guage. Modern Hebrew has also developed several levels, each of ‘which is used in a different context. Thus, there are levels for formal daily communication, for formal or legal situations, for technical and scientific purposes and for the growing volume of literary expression, There is also a lively, rapidly changing Hebrew slang much favored by the youth Encompassing all areas of life and gaining ever greater flexibility, contemporary Hebrew has succeeded in becoming the dynamic, vibrant language of modem Israel. PRONUNCIATION HINTS The Jewish population of Israel consists of Sabras (those bor and raised in Israel) and immigrants. The immigrant population is of extremely diverse origin. The Hebrew of immigrants bears an equally diverse variety of accents from Russian to Yemenite and from Romanian to Ethiopian. De~ spite this, two principal tracitions of pronunciation may be discemed: the Sephardic and the Ashkenazi. The Sepharci¢ tradition is essentially Viddle Eastern and North African, where pronunciation of many of the original Semitic conso= rants of biblical Hebrew was preserved. These people still pronounce the pharyngeal consonants het and ‘ayin in the manner common to Semitic languages. ‘The Ashkenazi Jews, living in the non-Semitic, European Janguage milieu, long ago underwent a pronunciation change. ‘They pronounce the het like a khaf (as ch in Bach), and the ‘ayin like an ‘alef. The Jewish population in Israel today is approximately one half Ashkenazi and one half Sephardic. However, the younger generation, including the children of ‘Sephardic families, tend to adopt the Ashkenazi pattern of Hebrew pronunciation. In this course, both patterns are demonstrated in the section on Hebrew sounds, and Ashkenazi pronunciation is used throughout the remaining sections. Vowels in the Hebrew script are indicated by lines and dots placed below and above consonants. The letters vav and yod (see the pronunciation guide) are the only ones which may serve both as vowels and consonants in Hebrew. A Hebrew text which contains all the vowel markings is called a vocalized or “pointed” text. Today, in Israel, such lexis are used in only limited areas: the Bible, prayer books and other religious texts, and in books and literature for young chil dren, new immigrants and other language learners. All other texts are written and printed without the vowel markings. In order to illustrate how the reader of Hebrew decodes an unvocalized text such as a newspaper, we may take the simple English word caf which, with the vowels removed, appears as ct. In order to read this correctly, the reader has to know that the word is not cof or cut, but that itis cal. This may be properly decoded only by a reader who is familiar with the word and the context. The fact that this method is practiced universally in Israeli Hebrew means that it serves without difficulty for those who are fluent in the language. It is also clear that unvocalized Hebrew may pose problems for those who have not achieved a high level of fluency. For this reason, unvocalized texis are usually written with addi- tional vavs and yods, the two letters which can serve as vowels. A vooalized text has been used in this course. In the pronunciation column, boldface letters mark the slressed syllables, and hyphens indicate syllable breaks. This guide is to help you to pronounce the written Hebrew, but the best way to improve your pronunciation is to imitate the speakers on the cassettes. Throughout the text phrases specific to a male speaker are marked (ms) and those specific to a female speaker (fs). Adjectives for gender-specific (masculine, feminine, neuter) nouns are marked (m), (8), or (n). When you start the cassette player, you will hear the Hebrew alphabet followed by the sounds of the Hebrew vowels and consonants. You will then hear English phrases immediately translated into Hebrew. Each Hebrew phrase is repeated, then followed by a pause. During the pause, say the Hebrew phrase aloud. Tests show that a word spoken ten to twenty times is remembered more readily than a word seen fifty to one hundred times, so say the phrases aloud as often as possible, When you hear words spoken by Hebrew-speaking people in conversation and on television or radio, say them to yourself. Try to pronounce words you see on signs and in books, magazines, and newspapers, Please note that, unlike English, the Hebrew language is written and read from right to left.
