  • I think it is great, thanks a lot :)

  • Thank you for this video, I am trying to learn some Hebrew on my own before my class starts in the fall.. I could not find out how a website had gotten their pronunciation of the words until I watched this and learned about the different marks on some of the letters. it was very helpful, thank you, and Shalom.

  • This is a very good video and quite instructional.

  • ALEF IS SILENT UNLESS IT IS TO BE USED AS A VOWEL, THE SAME WITH AYIN, YOUR ARE WRONG ABOUT THE CHET, IT IS MORE LIKE AN OPENING OF THE THROAT, KAF WITH NO DOGESH AS WELL AS KHAF SOFIT, IS KH. tHERE ARE FIVE GUTTURAL LETTERS IN THE SACRED ALEF BEIT, THEY ARE: ALEF, AYIN, CHET, KHAF AND RESH.

  • @MenechemShaul I disagree. The Ayin and Aleph were pronounced in Biblical Hebrew and the Ayin is still a guttural sound in PROPPER NON-ASHKENAZI INFLUENCED Modern Hebrew. Heth is supposed to be just a strong exhaling sound. Resh is not guttural but treated as when (i.e. it can not take a Daghesh)

  • @TheSexymonkey567 First of all I said nothing against the Ayin, Alef, Resh, Kaf or Chet. Secondly the influence of Modern Hebrew is actually Sephardi. When I was commenting on the Alef I am coming from Orthodox experience it is always silent unless it is used for a vowel! I made it quite clear in my posting what 5 letters were guttural as well as in this posting!

  • @TheSexymonkey567 Oh ok. Also, although in theory the reviver of the Hebrew language Eliezer ben Yehudah wanted modern Israeli hebrew to be Sephardi, but because most of its speakers were of Ashkenazi origin and spoke Yiddish, modern hebrew has is a combination of Sephardi and Ashkenazi Hebrew.

  • @TheSexymonkey567 WRONG AGAIN!

  • @MenechemShaul No its true. Eliezer ben Yehudah thought the Sephardic dialect sounded the prettiest. Explain how I am wrong

  • @TheSexymonkey567 Because you do not provide me with direct quotes of him saying any of this stuff!

  • except that the vowel points were created in the tenth century, and therefore they do not truly exist...but are a fabrication of man.

  • alef [the very first letter] does not make an 'ah' sound ... it is silent and only makes the pure sound of it vowel point.
