Hebrew Reading Lesson 2

Before you start the lesson please ensure you are comfortable the quick sound of the Ivrit letters and the Ivrit vowel symbols, Nikud.

If you need Help with letters sounds and Nikud look at my Blogg posts

Any questions don't hesitate to ask, I am here to help :)

To make it simple, I will be using colours for the sound symbols to help you remember the sound they give the letter.  I will be dropping the colours as you progress through the lessons.

Sound: E

The 2 and 3 dots (pile of Eggs), makes the sound E - They will be red  סֶ סֵ 

The 2 vertical dots or no sound symbol, makes quick sound will be Brown סְ ס 

Silent letter will be light Grey.

******************************************

  E = אֵ   /     E = אֶ

Remember: Bet has 2 sounds  and V

  Beh = בֵּ  /  Beh  = בֶּ

Veh = בֵ  /  Veh = בֶ

Remember: Gimel sound like ge / Je if it has apostrophe

 Ge/Je = 'גֶ  /   Geh = גֵ  /   Geh = גֶ

Heh = הֵ  /  Heh = הֶ

 Reh = רֵ  /  Reh = רֶ

 Seh = סֵ  /  Seh = סֶ

And so on...
