MODERN HEBREW 2 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 be able 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. 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.

MODERN HEBREW 2 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 difficulties in spelling, but not in reading. Modern Hebrew script does not normally include vowels and consonant dots. These are only included for beginning readers, in poetry, and in the Old Testament, and are otherwise used only when it is necessary to avoid ambiguities of meaning. As of the second grade in elementary school, Israelis are able to read without vowels, by guessing the correct pronunciation. In this booklet, the vowels and consonant dots are included in the first eighteen lessons. We have not included the “dots,” called dagesh chazak, in cases where these dots do not change the pronunciation. There are twenty Reading Lessons. The first fifteen Reading Lessons are a review from Level 1. They’ll give you a solid introduction to reading Modern Hebrew. The final five lessons include letters between a husband and wife and two work colleagues. In Lessons Nineteen and Twenty you will be introduced to reading Modern Hebrew without vowel markers and consonant dots. To help ease this transition, we’ve included the same lesson on the following page with the vowel markers and consonant dots. 2

MODERN HEBREW 2 It is important, however, to refer to these pages only after making every attempt at reading these words, as you will see them printed in Israel without the markers and dots. These lessons are printed in the Hebrew “square type.” You will note that there are no capital letters in Hebrew and western style punctuation is used. The recorded portion of the reading materials for Hebrew 2 will be found at the end of the program. You can do the Readings when it is most convenient for you, either with the lessons, or entirely after completing the full 30 lessons. Full instructions on how to proceed are in the recording.

Without vowel markers the “o” is represented by the vav; with vowel markers it is represented by the dot after the third letter, chaf. The vowel marker under the alef in the second word consists of two vowel markers, a schva (two dots) and an “e” (three dots). The schva is silent and only the “e” is pronounced. 2 The first vowel marker in the last word is pronounced as an
