  • The "R" sound made when pronouncing the resh in Hebrew is is a rolling sound from the backof the throat. So many people only know the English R sound which is not rolled at all and the Spanish R sound which is produced in the mouth not the throat. Much of Hebrew is from the throat like caf & chet. Most Americans never get the resh sound down and just ruse the very flat non rolling R.

  • i understood all apart from one word... it was said right at the beginning of the conversation... what is "amoodim" ??

    If anyone knows what it is plz tell me! xD

  • @chavvysavvy1 Amoodim is pages

  • @pastnewsfreek18431 ahhh... that makes sense... toda :D

  • @chavvysavvy1

    bevakasha

  • @chavvysavvy1 I believe he's saying lemoodim: ... In the case I have past seen this exact word, it was used to describe one person's continuous studying... plural in repetition of study, but singular in reference to who was doing the studying. . a fair amount of words I don't know there, though. It sounds like you have a firm grasp. What methods are you using/have used to learn Hebrew?

  • "there" meaning, in this youtube video

  • @lnaphtali oh right thanks, and i only know hebrew because i lived in israel for six years. i dont live there anymore so i have forgotten some of it but whenever i go there i suddenly remember and understand everything (mostly). so i guess if your learning the language you should listen and watch hebrew tv/videos (youtube) like this video and listen to radio stations (online) too. when did you start learning hebrew?

  • @lnaphtali oh cool and thats great that your motivated! keep practicing, good luck! :)

  • @chavvysavvy1 Thanks :)

  • Can someone please answer me? Why is it that even though Ben-Yehuda preferred a trilled Arabic R for Hebrew Resh, the Yiddish/Parisian R is considered more high class?

  • @TheSexymonkey567 my theory is that people consider germans/french who have such "R" to be "civilized", while the people who have trill "R" such as slavs, latins (except french), and middle easterners are considered to be "primitive". personally i pronounce resh how it was pronounced biblically, like trill "R", simply because i cannot pronounce the way many others prionounce it :).

  • @beepu2 my theory is that the Russian Jews in the past pronounced the 'R' as 'G' since the Hebrew letter 'Resh' looks like a reversed cyrilic 'G'. This habit screwed the Israeli Hebrew for good. besides there're some other, psychological factors.

  • @TheSexymonkey567 but i agree, i think people should pronounce r properly. the way most Israelis pronounce it hurts my ears,

  • @beepu2 True dat, yemenite/sepharidic pronunciation ftw :)

  • @TheSexymonkey567

    i dont know if its considered more high class, i think it's just how people hear it and therefore grow up saying it

  • @TheSexymonkey567 cuz Ben Yehuda was from Russia and hated the way the Russian Jews pronounce 'R' (They pronounced it as 'G'). He try to remedy their habit and normalize the 'R' but failed. screwing up the 'R' is genetic among Jews it seems.

  • I don't know what to think about this video, music like a 80's X movie, 2 guys looking trisomic or the fact that you're not suppose to speak in a library...
