| The Hebrew Alephbet |
| I believe one of the best ways to approach learning a new language is learning words that you will use. This makes it more interesting and you will have a better chance of keeping your focus. For most of us interested in learning Hebrew, our main reason is so we can better understand Bible text and Biblical culture. So that is where we will begin. We we start with important words or words that we might use often, like the names of God and words like peace, righteousness, salvation, truth, love etc. But before we start with words, we must begin with the basics. The Hebrew letters and their sounds. Read the letters from right to left. To learn more and to hear how it sounds, click on each letter Remember, you can decided to included your own self-study.
