My take on those 'do-it-yourself' language courses that seem to be so popular! And for your amusement, Blooper-reel included!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • great lesson, make more lessons

  • 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!

  • @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"?

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

  • @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 :) :)

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