Hebrew Letters Quick Sound

In this lesson we will learn each letter's quick sound.

A letter makes a quick sound if:
If it hasn't got any Nikud symbol
If it has two vertical dots under it.

These two letters don't have a quick sound:

 silent = א אְ

 silent = ה הְ

These 4 letters all have double sound:

Weak(without dot inside)            Strong (with dot inside)

    V = ב בְ                B = בּ בְּ

F = פ פְ                  P = פּ פְּ

H' = כ כְ                  K = כּ כְּ

S = שׂ שְׂ              SH = שׁ שְׁ

These 3 letters all change sound with apostrophe:

 GE /J = 'ג' גְ              G = ג גְ

French pronunciation J = 'ז' זְ                Z = ז זְ

 CH = 'צ' צְ            TS = צ צְ

All the remaining letters all have one quick sound

 D = ד דְ

 V = ו וְ

 H' = ח חְ

 T = ט טְ

 Y = י יְ

 L = ל לְ

 M = מ מ

 N =  נ נְ

 S = ס סְ

 A = ע ע

 K = ק קְ

 R = ר רְ

 T = ת תְ

 5 letters  have a final form and make a quick sound at the end of a word:

  Final Kaf = H' = ך

  Final Mem = M = ם

Final Nun = N  = ן

  Final Peh= F = ף

  Final Tsadi = TS = ץ
