[Robbi165]

Didn't he say "Ani Talmud", I am a Student? I'm pretty sure that's "Ani Talmid."

[rockinrodney5000]

@Robbi165 Ani Talmid is I am a student,I should tell because I lived in Israel for ten years,kinda miss NY...Where the heck does he say "Talmud"?

[Janoahable]

u guys had me laughing at the end...lol

[iwarshavsky]

If you're teaching hebrew, at least have a hebrew accent

[mrlasns10973]

I think this is the best starter course in Hebrew

[ivnamc]

did she say "mi the hell ata?" at the end of the video? LoL

This is so funny! Thanks for the lesson

[mrlasns973]

[mrlasns973]

This is the best teacher I have had so far i might actually learn something

[sakuraBunnyxo]

Thankyou!:)

[BulanKhazar]

Folks! Sorry, but your American accent is unbearable! How could you teach Hebrew with that amount of terrible mistakes? Almost alll the sounds you pronounce incorrectly!!!! SHAME ON YOU!!!!

[sakuraBunnyxo]

@BulanKhazar HE ISNT AMERICAN

[BulanKhazar]

@sakuraBunnyxo I don't care, but they sound terribly wrong. We are Karaites and the knowledge of Hebrew is kind of our religious duty.... So, I could be a judge in this issue. Every sound produced by this couple is terribly wrong. My 3 year old daughter speaks much better than those shameless people. People, please listen to Shimi Taburi or Shoshana Damari to get a correct pronounciation. Thanks!

[yomamasofat87]

@BulanKhazar i thought hell was sheol? gehinom is the place outside of jerusalem no?

thanks Dan and Sarah Im trying to learn ...

[danidin0099]

good job :) I like the video. but, if you learn Hebrew you should watch lessons by native hebrew speakers, coz hebrew doesn't sound like that, it's hebrew with an English accent. for Example our R don't sounds at all like the English R :)

[Kenaniken2010]

HAHAHAHAH.

I love to hear the accent of American/British speaking Hebrew.

[Shadowhunter712]

Great Job Sir, I loved the insight and am sure that I could come to learn a lot:) Cant wait to see some more!!

[emulimo]

you're cute, but your accent is terribly british...

[markm856]

Great into to Hebrew! Do you go to school in the UK?

[TNB0325]

I liked your video. I've been studying Hebrew and this video is a pretty good addition. I am currently learning the alphabet and I have been watching videos for children that teaches the Hebrew alphabet with music and that has helped me memorize it very easily. Shalom!

[montecristo73]

Thanks, you have just taught me my first phrases in Hebrew.

[shayshalom]

שלום היא מילה חינוכית, שלום

מה שלומך - עדיף מה קורה גבר?

תלמיד אתה יכול להגיד גם סטודנט

[azkeyz]

So called modern hebrew is just arabic block script.

If you want real hebrew , use paleo hebrew.

צריך לעבוד על המבטא אבל בסדר...

Tzarich La'avod Al Hamivta

You need to practice on the explanation

[MrPopular22]

Someone explain how to use these ones? ס(samech) or ש(shin,sin) א (alpeh) or ע (ajin) Why does one word uses -א- (ADAM for exmple) and another uses -ע - (for exmaple AWODA). The same with S.

I dont get the difference, the sound is the same. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!

[sterndavid]

In modern Hebrew most pronunciation of aleph and ayin are the same. Some Yeminite make the ayin a more guttural sound. The samech and sin are often interchangeable (as found in much liturgy)

- Thanks to my friend David Goldberg for help on this.

[72Yonatan]

@MrPopular22

There is a matter of word root letters, and the meaning changes depending upon its root. The type of conjugation also changes. So there are a few "homophones" but the native speakers are not confused because they hear the word in context.

Also, there are letters which appear to be similar to the learners, but are actually pronounced somewhat differently by native speakers.

Be patient, and you will learn. Samech is "S" in sound, and so is "SIN" but they are not the same letter.

[sahta007]

@MrPopular22 The more you get into it the more it makes sense! There is no quick answer for that. Read read read!

[kroen]

@MrPopular22 why do english has c and k? c and s? x? q?

[MrViTopol]

@kroen cuz angloameroeuropeans can fuck up even a wet dream...

[rakefetgal8383]

@MrPopular22

if your question is still relevant:

ס - it always sound like the letter S

סרטן - for example - Sartan = Crab

ש - its more complex becous its work on both S or SH, depends what you want to say

now about the words ע or א -

the unswer that the guy below me gave you is right :) although most people today not speaking with AJIN from the throat so it does sound the same :)

שלום ובהצלחה :) :)

[SuperAlexrios]

u2r2 cute!!!! :))

[beswick1111]

sara is pretty hot

[kidi1232]

hey, here is a nice tip you should use:

do not use shalom as "goodbye" - i hebrew we usually use "c ya" instead of goodbye - so when you saying to someone shalom he might think you are not interested in seeing him again. to say shalom to someone as a goodbye is pretty "cold".

the hebrew word for 'c ya" is "lehitra'ot".

on some occasions (like after a bad meeting, or a man who works in a hospital) we say "shalom velo lehitra'ot" - "goodbye and i wish we wont see each other again".

[199tinkerbell]

thanks. i took hebrew in 2007 and i forgot what lehitraot means. sometimes i get it mixed up with tov to da.

[OlaNosiDeski]

thank you, that will be useful as I almost don't have any sources to learn Hebrew where I live... Hope to see more videos in the future. Greetings from Poland!

[almotaham919]

fuck jewish, jewish, and jewish fuk em all

[emysweety2008]

great lesson, make more lessons

[sterndavid]

Thanks! I intend to make more...Hopefully over the summer I will be able to make a complete course. Just have to see if time permits!

[MBen89]

hi...I just wanna ask you some questions bcoz I am really confused...I've been listening to Hebrew music for sometime now and I realized a difference in the pronounciation of "r"....some say it like in English and others say it like in French...why is that?? and which way the the correct way??.....my other question is what is Ivrit???

thank you for the video btw.....how nice of you

[mika351]

which music?

[081826]

ivrit means hebrew in hebrew. and about the "r", people who speak fluently pronounce it like in french. beginners tend to say it like in english. i dont know if the english way is incorrect, but israelis dont speak that way.. hope that made sense :)

[MBen89]

yeah it kinda does...thank you.....bcoz I've been listening to Rita and she pronounces "r" like in English or let's say arabic...and so does Yehuda Saado....that's why I am confused =SSS

[MaZza0000]

thanx,, it helped

mu shlom cha?

[lolitaphile]

I'm sorry, sterndavid, but you've ben using using English phology and pronunciation for that course. For instance, you pronounced the r in "Sarah" the way it reads in English. As far as I know, the r in Hebrew reads just as in German and French nowadays in Israel

[ehbasura]

Great! Thank you from Spain.

[Omersapir123]

I'm a pupil = ani talmid (not - ani talmud).

[sterndavid]

Thanks! Only realised the mistake after i'd finished shooting...

[MonsieurSix]

Thanks for this. Do you really say 'Who are you?' to ask someone's name?

[sterndavid]

That is one way of doing it...People will understand what you mean. Hopefully the videos will continue to progress and get more advanced as we go on and I will be able to teach the better way of asking for someone's name. 'Mi Uta/Ut' is fine to begin with.

Take care,

David

[avigill]

Hello mate, great and funny video - but by-the-by:

Talmid = Pupil.

Stoodent = Student.

In 'modern' Hebrew.

Hope you're well mate. No idea how I found this video, bloody random.

[sterndavid]

Thanks...I realised the mistake too late. Thank you for pointing it out though...next time i'll run it by one of my native ivrit speakers before posting.

All the best,

David

[DzejnDou]

Toda, David! :) Keep up the good work. :) PS I am from Serbia, and I'd really love to learn Ivrit. This kind of lessons is very valuable.

[sterndavid]

From Serbia...awesome...what got you interested in learning ivrit? I wil def try and do another ulpan video soon.

Take care,

David
