 Modern Hebrew 1
Introduction

Since Hebrew is written in the Hebrew alphabet, to

read Hebrew you need to associate the sounds with a
different system of symbols than the Latin alphabet. A
complete listing of the Hebrew alphabet can be found
starting on page 4. This is for your information only:
you will not need the list to learn to read Hebrew since
all of the instruction is on the audio.

In Hebrew you read from right to left, the opposite

of English. The first few pages in this booklet are in
English and should be read from left to right; however,
the pages teaching Hebrew, starting with page 4,
should be read from right to left.

Vowels are normally not included in the Hebrew

script. They can be marked by special signs under or
above the letters, but they are usually included only for
beginning readers, in poetry, and in the Old Testament.

As of the second grade in elementary school,

Israelis are able to read without vowels, by guessing
the correct pronunciation from the context. In this
booklet, the vowels are included so you won’t have to
worry about guessing. These lessons are printed in the
Hebrew “square type.” You will note that there are no
capital letters in Hebrew.
 Modern Hebrew 1

In Modern Hebrew, the major vowel sounds are:

ah, eh, ee, o, and oo. Some vowels are represented
by more than one sign. The reason for this is that in
ancient times there were more vowel sounds than
there are today and the various forms of transcription
have been maintained even when there is no sound
difference. And there is also a punctuation vowel,
called schva, which is sometimes silent.

There are twenty-two consonants in the Hebrew

alphabet, written with thirty-one letters. As in the
case of vowels, there are some letters which in
Modern Hebrew sound alike, but which originally were
different sounds. This is especially true in the case of
some guttural sounds which are no longer pronounced
gutturally in Modern Hebrew.

2
 Modern Hebrew 1

There are two letters which are silent and serve

as vowel carriers. There are two letters which have a
different sound when a dot is added. There are five
letters which have two forms: one form when written
at the beginning or middle of the word, and another
form when written at the end of the word. Having
different letters for the same sound may cause diffi-
culties in spelling but not in reading.

The aim of this program is to teach you how the

letters of the Hebrew script sound. That is to say, you’ll
learn to read aloud mostly words that you don’t under-
stand. In the early lessons, you’ll be “decoding” letter
combinations that have no actual meaning. From
Lesson Five on, you’ll be reading real words.

The recorded portion of the reading materials for

Modern Hebrew 1 will be found at the end of the pro-
gram. You can do the readings as it is most convenient
for you. They can be done individually with each lesson
or at a more appropriate time afterwards. Instructions
on how to proceed with the readings are contained in
the audio portion of the course.
