Hello

Me and Sulamith were doing homework together today.

We got two questions to the teacher.

1.       What does dagesch (the dot) in the middle of the letter “tav” means?
With “bet” we know that it is to mark the difference to pronounce “B” or “V”, but in “tav” what does it mean?

2.       The letter “hej” at the end of the word marks the feminine gender.
Is it pronounced sometimes or is it always mute (like “alef” at the end of the word)?

I don’t want to take time for this during the lesson, so it will be nice if the teacher can answer our questions here in this forum.

Best wishes

Nadja

Dr. B’s answer to question 2:

“Always muted except some biblical words as eloha אלה”

[Rivka – KabU Instructor]

From Dr. B in answer to your first question:

“The emphasis on the letter Tav is according to the punctuation rules, but it has no effect on the pronunciation”

Dear friends,

I started to write flashcards, like on Quizlet, for memorization. Something like this might be of help for you too.

🙂 Thank you Eberhard! it is a didactic idea that can be very useful for acquiring vocabulary.

Shalom Hebrew Students,

Since the Content Summary that I made for Week 5 was useful to you, I decided to go back and make a similar Content Summary for each of the previous weeks.  I finished the one for Week 4 today.  It should be post with the Week 4 Related Materials within the next day.  For now, here is a link where you can access the Week 4 Content Summary:  docs.google.com/document/d/1Y3PKr_0jM83wnyxf-gaBxobgDoCLbRvtWpB7eSw7AwA/edit?usp=sharing

Happy studying!

[Susana]

Thanks for this resource! It’s really very good 🤗

[Eberhard]

Thank you very much!

Shalom Hebrew Students,

I made this summary document of the material that was covered in Lesson 5.  See whether you think this will be helpful to you.  I hope so.  In a day or so, it should also be available in the Related Materials for Lesson 5.  For now, you can access the Lesson 5 Summary at this link:  docs.google.com/document/d/12tfz8tNvpqfGVkPl_oPBNOkKxdESC2hyND0K7UzSA40/edit?usp=sharing

Happy studying,

Rivka

Shalom 🙂

Oh thanks!  it’s a great gift because it is a great help to better understand the whole class and in my case translate into Spanish too.  Thank you!

thank you so much Ms Rivka, this is so helpful.

Shalom Hebrew Students—

Later today the PowerPoint presentations for Lesson 3 and Lesson 4 should be posted.  Dr. Benzi suggested that they should be posted also with his speaker notes included.  Even though these were notes for his use during the lecture part of the class, he thinks that the notes might also be useful material for you.  They can remind you of the lesson content and also summarize much of the material.  So, look for these.

Hoping this will be helpful to you,

Rivka

[Rivka – KabU Instructor]

Thanks for the feedback.  That will encourage and convince me to continue to make such a document for each lesson.

[Susana]

Thank you very much!  It is really very useful

Shalom Rivka,

Could you please take another look at the Week 3 practice workshop? It appears that the Week 2 replay was uploaded by instead.

[Rivka – KabU Instructor]

I think that the mistake should be fixed now.  Thanks for letting us know of the error.

[Rivka – KabU Instructor]

Okay.  I will check on that.  I’ll get back to you soon.
