Hebrew Alphabet - Introduction (Part 1)

[SpiderAndehMan]

I am trying to learn Hebrew and it's not as hard as I thought it would be, and your lesson is great, but I think for Hebrew beginners, like me, it's really difficult to learn it in comparison with another language I don't know, like Arabic... so it would have been great if you did this alpabeth lesson without comparison too :)

[maucam1000]

Thanks for your wonderful class.I am an english student but i think your hebrew class very nice.

I am brazilian. Congratulations !

[krank34]

your wonderful. i am learning two languages from this video. hebrew and arabic both. lol.

I know nothing in hebrew or arabic. hopefully this will help me change that.

Can you show these words in written hebrew letter, pls?

[MrWhoAmI999]

I want to learn Hebrew and Arabic, but I wanna start with Arabic... any youtube advices? :)

שטויות אני לא מבין מילה בערבית :)))

[Kobi12131]

@TheTHEHAZ זאת שמדברת בסרטון היא מישראל??? או מחול??

[aJoshudHowar]

It is great to study the Holy Scriptures Old Testament as well as the New

Testament Halleluja...

Shalom and Amen. I am currently learning hebrew what a great blessing to learn I thank the Lord God for the  chance to study....

[makeiteasyable]

thanks

[miasolomia1997]

כל הכבוד לך :)

[azzz999m]

please can you do Aramaic lesson?

[antipersonDE]

I'm learning hebrew at the moment. Want to learn the arabic language after that. At the moment I'm writing everything in latin letters but I hope to make the switch sooner or later. So from what I can say now: toda marat maha!

[naz5507]

not from aramaik , not the great arabic came from aramaik,

[zobielamouche1]

many palestinians know this "language" better than zionist squatters in palestine. but their mastery of "hebrew" is not of avail for them, on the contrary, when they come to a "check point" with zionazi soldiers who origin from (for example) the former soviet union who are less fluent in "hebrew"...(zionists always fight their internal rivalry at the expenses of the "goyim", especially the palestinians)

[alphazrou]

very interesting!!

[BiAndProud90]

it's the same in english - bouquet

[Westboundandown]

is there a letter E in hebrew

[alnahdy2]

can u translate this hebrew verse from the bible

songs of solomon 5:16

חכו ממתקים וכלו

מחמדים זה דודי

וזה רעי בנות

ירושלם׃

i want to know the real translation from u.

[am0735330]

Thank you for the lovely tutorial. I am learning and am slowly teaching my 3 young daughters. Please continue spreading your knowledge. I truly do appreciated it! I will recommend your videos to my sister. She has begun learning Arabic.

[DeepAbsentia]

She's so beautiful.. i live in Brazil and i can say by far that jewish/arab women are a gift from the heavens. No Brazilian girl strike me like the way arab women do.

Seriously, look at her eyes, it's like a sea of delight. Amazing

[sharaaby]

@DeepAbsentia she is not arab she is christian and christian arabs are in face decendes of pheonicians

[MrTlbxxx]

@sharaaby Would you stop talking non senses! The has been recent studies that shows that more muslim arabs are descendants of the phonecians. By the way, Most levantine "arabs" are not really arab, but arabised people. before the arrival of islam they were eithter pagans, christians, or Jews. So stop your silly propaganda.

[jaffarm]

@DeepAbsentia chilax bro

[Alexdebeste]

This is what I have been assuming for months... you are Arab Christian...!

[Curaca0Blue]

I thought there are no capital letters in hebrew? O_o Just the sofit is sometimes different?!

[Alberto26982]

hi . i just went to thank eveyone who participated to make the videos of heberw lessons

they helped me a lot thanks everybody.

[Islandtune07]

I am a beginner. This video was fun. I enjoyed the example "khatul" / cat, in Spanish "gato". Your teaching style makes for a pleasant learning experience. Chukran kathir! :-)

[yay478]

את מלמדת גם ערבית?

[HesseJamez]

The "Khet" is alike to the german soft "ch"-noise.

[jonytintin]

can u teach ancient hebrew wiht out voul points or the v and al that added stuff just pure original hebrew cause things have been changed to hide things and make things get lost

[Mona5043]

i like your video , i am a persian ( Iranian ) and i find from your lessons that Hebrew alphabet is more similar to Farsi to compare with Arabic , i love to learn Hebrew . good job and keep it up

[mikaelnigel1]

I'm muslim. i can't even read or speak arabic..

Apart from the prayers and verses. i remember them by heart.

[hnnuny]

tanks..great job..it is very similar to Amharic language.

[livefreexvxASL]

@hnnuny Yeah, it's nice that it is. I'm learning Amharic, Hebrew, and Arabic, and it's so nice that they are all semetic languages. If you look hard enough, you can find connections between a good percentage of languages. I think its beautiful.

[maxangel11]

Hallo,

great job, but the volume is too low!

[ArtistWoOoOo]

[TheAnGerman]

[55rebels]

[roseyrockzx]

[lmlm11]

i like your nail polish! and awesome video thanks!

[ROCKNINJA777]

I just want to say - Asalam Aleykoom, ya ahim ! peace in the middle east inshalla

[TheYizhaqBenAvraham]

Shalom 'Alaykhem, w'Salaam 'Alaykum. Your explanation of modern Israeli Hebrew is excellent! I enjoy your videos very much. I've uploaded a response that explains how Hebrew was originally spoken before Jews were exiled from Judea and 'lost' many of the original semitic sounds. The ancient pronunciation is the proper way to speak Hebrew, and more and more people in Israel are learning it.

[bonzoq]

Your English is actually very good.

[littlemissmuffet7301]

What your teaching is modern day Hebrew but there are still many Jews today who still pronounce it very much like Arabic (i.e. Yemeni Jews, some Spanish Jews, and others that I'm still investigating)

[Slovjan]

Thank you, I apretiate your effort:) Hails from Slavic Croatia :) ! Shalom!

[655243]

yes you said bouquet right...thanks for the lessons

[Workway2much]

Your lessons are very good. I thank you for making them.

[mataharibabi]

Is isn't jim ج sound 'g' in Egyptian Arabic???

[heavenlyrikku]

I love the videos! You are a good teacher!

[trucutu7977]

please increase the volumne!!! i cant hear you....

[raafat1994]

hey maha thx so much btw whereare you from and where are you living now?

[HESSA1411]

Dont' stop Maha .. (Y) go ahead ;)

[bitmasala]

i am having such a hard time learning the alphabet...i need help....thx

[nolegirl97]

I like how you compare the languages...

let me get this straight...

you are Arabic,

you teach Hebrew,

you are a Christian (I'm guessing by your necklace

...

AWESOME!!!! * especially the Christian part:) *

what country do you live in?

[nuc008]

hebrew

Iike

to

arabic



[tFighterPilot]

Two more point after viewing the whole thing. First, there are not capital letters in Heberw. There's Dfoos and Ktav. Ktav being the way you write by hand and Dfoos everything else. Second point. You mentioned that 7et is mispronounced in modern Hebrew. That is of course true. However, you didn't say the same thing about Tet, which correct pronunciation in modern Hebrew is much rarer. That is the reason why English T is transliterated to Tet rather than Tav.

[urkyle11]

@tFighterPilot I agree with you there are no Capitals in Hebrew but there are letters written in the Torah that are larger or smaller but this is fo other reasons.

shalom

[TheTwati]

i live in israel and i know to speak hebrew...it"s really so much heard to learn hebrew?!

[MrAki3461]

I am learning Japanese now but can I learn Hebrew too? I don't know one i pick Hebrew or Korean. What I should i pick as my 2nd And can I speak both a same time. Theres not alot of Japanese people around here and I want to speak Japanese fast im learning slow. you think I learn Hebrew fast? I want to learn all words in Japanese like 100%. You think I learn Hebrew faster?

[LaMasChevere22]

@MrAki3461 Master the alphabets of both if it isnt too much on you! I learned the Korean alphabet and now I'm on Hebrew because just like you, I couldnt decide! My first two languages are English and Spanish, then I learned Mandarin and started on Korean. Sorry, I know you werent really asking me but I just thought maybe I would add my opinion.

[jawadmatador7]

Salam Maha, I love the way you teach Hebrew...By the way, I wanted to say that Bouquet is a french word and we say "Bouquet" in English too ;) Bonne Continuation :)

[jambasweetie]

I very very much appreciate this straightforward, easy to understand, video! You give very clear pronunciation, history, and comparisons....all of which are so helpful! I agree with @alsameeg, you should change your name to that! :) You should create your own hardcopy textbooks, because I think that you know how to teach!

Just a question....if you know hebrew, arabic, and english, where did you grow up? I would love to learn hebrew and arabic.

[alsameeg]

you should change ur nickname to LearnLanguageswithMaha!!

YOU'RE amazing!!!

[MegaBanai]

Nice, Maha)))))Good lessons, you are good teacher.

[alqahtmm]

[intushabitat]

[EllyMcCormack]

Okay...the advert before the vid was 'single muslims.com' and the lady teaching us hebrew is wearing a cross but also speaks arabic. lol

[awesome220]

@EllyMcCormack

So?

What does a cross have to do with speaking Arabic?

There ARE Arab Christians.

There ARE Arab Jews.

I am of Aramaic descent I really appreciate your course and I hope that one day all the semitic people will respect and love each other.

We are all Sem sons...

[grapisavillain]

I just moved to Elsternwick, which is Melbourne, Australia's version of Tel Aviv. A vibrant Jewish community. And this is just going to come in so handy, not only learning the language, but finally understanding what all the signs say! Bless you Maha, You're the best! Greetings from Australia. Juan.

[shockmovies]

Maha, Zer is bouquet in english, french and portuguese

[pumadai1]

Are you on Facebook

[SH1TNAME]

[VanessaNeiditch]

(((this video's volume was a little too low...)))

[xxpowwowbluexx]

Can you please do a video of how to make the ט sound? It's hard for me to do and I'm not sure if I'm getting it right or not. Is it kind of like making English T, G, and and L sounds all at the same time?? Thanks, Maha!! Love your videos!!

[xxpowwowbluexx]

@xxpowwowbluexx Never mind. ;D I can do it really good now; I kept listening and practiced it.

[3aladal3ona]

greetings from a syrian-spanish girl :D I would like to visit Palestine someday so learning hebrew will help me dealing with soldiers in checkpoints...

[keeskiwi]

i m planning to live in israel for a couple of years (or maybe just one ;-). can you do a programme on israeli slang? for example like the english words: hang, chill, cool, whazup, etc.

that would be great.

thanks

[nickolukianov]

Dear Maha, Thank you for also teaching Hebrew! I like the way you compare it to Arabic because it helps me remember both languages better! You have a very clear, beautiful pronounciation! I find it very useful to watch your video's in addition to my books. You are great!

[winxy07]

[EricGeerts]

I was trying to compare the hebrew letters with the word shown, I was trying to read from right to left again ! Lol x)
