Learn Conversational Hebrew Lesson 1

[GaertnerJan]

luckily I'm Dutch, we have the same 'ha' sound, older English also had that sounds, as did German I believe, yet the latter two have lost it

@orisin1

thank you.but the infinitive for verb 'to look' was 'lehabit'.is that make any difference?

[orisin1]

@bellarosita19 depending on the context but it's the same for the most part

[msa1985]

is a lot of phlegm accidentally released while speaking to one another in hebrew?

[orchidgirl54]

Thank you so much for this. I have been looking for something just like this as I plan to visit Israel next year.

This is great!!! You are providing a wonderful service to those of us who are really interested in learning without having to pay hundreds of dollars in order to do so.

[bibouyouyou]

Hey,

It would have been a bit more intersting if the text was written in hebrew also .. I try to learn how to read and how to recognize wordsin their original language..

[orisin1]

[writinbooks]

[KadeshLeMort]

Yey my native language o_O

[reginaDexant]

Thank you soooooo much for this video. I really would like to return to Eretz Yisrael and be able to speak to people in Hebrew. This is simple enough for me, again thank you. Most of the people know English in the shops. I had so much fun listening to people talk on Ben Yehuda street. It was a blast. Thank you for this good beginning!

[imanunez]

The "ha" sound is natural to Dutch speakers. Awesome!

[Elurin]

Thanks for these lessons! I'm planning to go to Israel this May and I'm excited to learn Hebrew. I have one question though: I noticed that your 'R' sounds very very soft, almost a L is that normal for Hebrew pronunication? I was just wondering because I find it interesting that it was a common pronunication issue i faced when teaching esl students in Korea.

[Elurin]

@Elurin sorry i should have specified "final" 'R' sound

[orisin1]

@Elurin I guess it's easier noticing those nuances when your'e not a native speaker, I guess you can think about like in some words in English the letters are almost silence if that makes sense(:

[Elurin]

@orisin1 Thanks for your answer, and what you say does make sense . . just did some research online and it sounds like there is more going on with the pronunciation of /r/ than what I am hearing. What is obvious to me, at this point, is that I'm going to need a LOT of practice before I start sounding like someone who can speak Hebrew. If it wasn't for the positional changes of pronunciation, i would say that it might be better to make all your /r/ into Ls, lol

[orisin1]

@Elurin well practice makes perfect, I am going to come out with a learn conversation Hebrew online course in the next 2 months, so stay tuned, I think it will be very helpful to you

[MrBlahblah558]

for what's your name, can't you just say, shem shelach/shelcha?

[orisin1]

@MrBlahblah558

Yes, you sure can(:

[Jamakcanchica]

Think I'd find it easier poking needles in my eyes vs learning this. Shoot I always said I could do or learn anything if I put my mind to it, but darn this is hard. I'll still try though.

[robbertvg1]

In holland we have the ga sound

[casperjhay]

I've been memorizing the basics but forget it again... it really needs someone to speak with... me and my friends are all beginners and all trying to learn hebrew!!! toda raba again!!

[twighahn]

i want to learn to write it too

[orisin1]

@twighahn I will try to post the words as they are written in Hebrew, join our facebook group: learn conversatinal hebrew!

[renatodenise]

Hi, my name is Renato, I am brazilian and I am learning some hebrew via internet. I would appreciate if we could have more phrases like those.

Shalom

[jewel0308]

[jewel0308]

cool i think this was helpful for people who want to learn to speak hebrew without learning to write it. it is also cool that it is a face book group. some of my friends want to learn and i hope that u continue.
