    Dear student, Thank you for purchasing Ulpan-Or Hebrew Alphabet Study Kit. The study kit you have received consists of: Hebrew alphabet study book for a beginner level divided into two sections: Print and Script letters. Two CDs. CD #1 for print letters, CD #2 for script letters. The CD contents are shown at the beginning of each section in the book. Study instructions Generally it is recommended to study about four letters a day. Study each letter, its sound and its shape. The two last pages at the end of this book contain your personal Flash Card kit. The cards are made with one side including the Hebrew letter and the other side including its name in English. When you study the letters with the CD, cut out only the respective card. Do not cut out all the cards at once. It is recommended to study each letter using Flash Cards, which are attached at the end of this booklet. Go over the Flash Cards several times in order to increase your confidence.

    Working with the study kit

    This kit has been designed so that the book and the CD are used jointly. Please do not try using the CD or the book separately.
    Note that the Script section starts on page 30. The first tracks contain an introduction and a general overview of the alphabet. Starting with track 6, you will study the Hebrew alphabet - letter by letter. Each letter is explained in the Alef Bet book and on a separate track on the CD. You will be referred to each respective CD track from the Alef Bet book. The audio CD further guides you with proper pronunciation of the Hebrew text providing additional confidence. In most cases the phonetic pronunciation is straight-forward, however it is worth mentioning the following: We chose the phonetic "KH" to imitate the sound CH as in Scottish "LOCH". Listen to the CD track containing the letter which you are studying. Pronounce the letter with each vowel aloud. Its essential that you carefully follow your working instructions.

    Hebrew Vowels - (Nekudot)


    Before studying the Hebrew letters, lets get acquainted with the Hebrew vowel system. Hebrew vowels, called nekudot - dots, are not an integral part of the alphabet. They are written as small dots or symbols underneath, above, inside or beside the letters. In Modern Hebrew as spoken in Israel, several different vowels may have the same pronunciation. In the chart on the following page you will find the vowels used (Alef), because the letter does with the first Hebrew letter not have a sound of its own. It adapts the sound of the associated vowel.

    * Please note: In this study kit we presented the vowels (Nekudot), so that
    you can study their pronunciation in Hebrew. To simplify your learning process, the vowels have been intentionally used only to help you pronounce the words correctly, without following any other grammatical rules in Hebrew.

    Hebrew print alphabet with vowels


    Hebrew alphabet consists of 22 basic letters; in addition you will also find five letters that have unique companions end letters, which are used instead of the regular letters only when written as the last letter of a word. As mentioned previously, the vowels nekudot are not an integral part of the alphabet, and are regarded separately. The following charts include all the print letters of Hebrew alphabet. Note that Hebrew texts are written from right to left.

    Listen to the respective track on the CD and fill in the vowels as in the example for letter Alef. Read each letter with the vowel. After having learned the three first letters we have created words (meaningless some times, but still words) that you can already read! Listen and repeat those a few times.
