Introduction

In spite of the fact that many people think that Hebrew is a tough language, it’s actually not. There are a few things about the language that can be tricky, but if you learn to deal with them, then mastering Hebrew won’t be such a big deal. In this article, I will share with you some key lessons on learning Hebrew so that you can get started on the right foot.

Learn the Alphabet

Before you can learn how to read Hebrew, you need to learn the alphabet. In Hebrew, there are 22 letters. Each letter has a name and a sound. The letters are written from right to left (just like Arabic).

The Hebrew alphabet has no vowels—they are added by writing small symbols above or below the letters (called “niqqud”) or around them (called “matres lectionis”).

The order in which these letters appear is very important because it’s used for writing out words and sentences.

Vowels and their Sounds

When learning Hebrew, you’ll quickly notice that the vowel sounds are quite different than in English. For example, “a” is pronounced as a short “u” sound instead of being pronounced like the letter “a”. In addition to this, vowels in Hebrew are often pronounced differently depending on their position within a word. This means that some vowels might have different sounds depending on whether they’re the root of a word or part of its suffixes and prefixes.

Nouns and Pluralization

Nouns in Hebrew are either masculine or feminine. The gender of a noun is based on its ending, whether it ends in a consonant or vowel. If it ends with a consonant, then it’s masculine; if it ends with a vowel, then it’s feminine.

Once you know what the gender of your word is (and you can find this by checking your dictionary), there are several rules that will help you figure out how to pluralize words that end in vowels:

• Words ending in “a” become “ot”. Examples include: table – tables, book – books.
• Words ending in “al”, “el”, or “ol” become “im”. Examples include: class – classes and doctor – doctors.

Verbs, Tenses, and Conjugation

Verbs and Tenses

Conjugation is the formation of the different tenses and moods of verbs, based on their root. This can be done by adding prefixes or suffixes, as well as changing vowel sounds in certain cases. A verb conjugation chart will usually list all possible conjugations for a given verb that have been confirmed to exist.

It’s important to note that verb conjugation is also based on gender—this means that if you’re talking about two men or women doing something together (in Hebrew), then you must use different conjugations depending on who’s doing what.

For example: “I am studying,” (I am studying) becomes “he studies” when referring to one male person; but if there are two men in question, then it becomes “they study” instead.”

• Practice speaking Hebrew in everyday life, and when you make mistakes, don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself! When you get embarrassed, it’s a good sign that your brain is learning something new—and that means it’s working hard on its own.
• Practice writing Hebrew whenever possible: write out words and sentences that you’ve learned using flashcards or other resources; try copying letters and spelling them out loud until they feel comfortable on your tongue; try writing entire paragraphs without looking at a written version of the text (this will help give your brain more practice reading letters rather than words).
• Listen to audio tracks with basic conversations so that when someone speaks to you in Hebrew, you’ll know what they’re saying based on context rather than having to read their lips before answering back!
