Hebrew doesn’t have an exact parallel letter to the “w” in English. I advise you to bring this question to your Wednesday seminar for a more complete answer.
Beste is het mogelijk een transcriptie te voorzien bij elke les aub? Dat is voor mij als anderstalige makkelijker en tijdsparend om het Engels te vertalen naar mijn taal en zodoende de les beter te begrijpen . Met dank
Okay I will try to ask in English. I live in Belgium speaking Dutch and it would be easyer when I can find a transcript , not only during the lesson but separate each lesson. Translation will be easyer and more quickly. Thank you
2e question: How I can enter in the practice lessons, live, on wednesday? Thank you
Unfortunately, transcripts are not available for Dr. Benzion’s recorded lessons. I am able to share with you a link to the lesson presentation that has Dr. Benzi’s speaker notes included. These may not be a word for word transcript, but they certainly contain all the material that was presented in the lesson. Here is the link for Lesson 1:

This is the link for Lesson 2:

From this time forward, the presentations are available for review in your related materials and they will contain the speaker notes.
I’m sure it’s extra challenging to study in a second language, but unfortunately this course was designed for English speakers. I hope that you will manage okay. In the past, non-native English speakers did complete the course. Good luck.
a ,e are written with Alef and also with Hey . How I will know which one to use in the word?
I can’t find letter X. which letter shall I use ?
In Hebrew, there isn’t a direct equivalent to the English “x” sound, so it’s typically transliterated based on how it’s pronounced in the word. The “x” in English can sound like “ks,” “gz,” or even “z,” depending on the word (e.g., “box,” “example,” “xylophone”). When writing an English word with an “x” in Hebrew, you’d usually replace it with a letter or combination that approximates that sound. Here’s how it works:
For the “ks” sound (like in “box” or “taxi”): The common choice is the Hebrew letter קְס (kuf with a shva, followed by samech). For example:
“Box” could be written as בּוֹקְס (boks).
“Taxi” is often written as טַקְסִי (taksi).
For the “gz” sound (like in “example” or “exist”): You might use גְז (gimel with a shva, followed by zayin). For example:
“Example” could be approximated as אֶגְזֵמְפְּל (egzempl).
For the “z” sound (like in “xylophone”): The letter ז (zayin) alone might be used. For example:
“Xylophone” could be written as זַיְלוֹפוֹן (zaylofon).
Since Hebrew doesn’t have a single letter for “x,” the choice depends on the word’s pronunciation.In this course, you will learn which sounds are appropriate from the use of nikkud (vowel markings that you will learn). This is how children are taught in Israel too. Later, you will get a feel for what is most likely and memorize the right sounds. Most Hebrew is written without nikkud and people have just learned the correct pronunciations.
I asked Kabu about the classes with Benzion on Sundays, they replied “The truth is that the class that becomes available on Sunday is recorded.”
so no live classes with Benzion.
