Learn the Hebrew Letters

The first step in learning the Hebrew language is to learn the names of the letters. The sound of the letter is usually the beginning sound of the letter's name.

About Pronounciation

There are different dialects of the Hebrew language. The two most common pronunciations are the Ashkenazic dialect, used by European Jewry and their descendents, and the Sefardic dialect, used by Jews from the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern areas. Modern Hebrew uses the Sefardic pronunciation, whereas the pronunciation of prayer or reading from the Torah is dependent on one's descent. The first stage of this ulpan presents the Ashkenazic pronunciation.

English Equivalents of the Nebew Letters

At my shul we learn the Shafardic pronunciation but there is an Azkenaz as well. Here is what I learned Alef>A; Bet>B;Vet>V;Gimel>G; Dalet>D; Hey is H & is usually silent when it ends a word; Vav>V;Tzad i>TZ;Het is H;Tet is T;Yud is Y or J;Kh then Koo; The "sofit" letters end the word. Kuf sofit is pronounced K.Lamed is L;Mem is M;Mem sofit;

Great for teaching !!!

This is truly a great teaching tool. Lots of fun and a different way other than reading the alef bet from a book. This is really wonderful and will be used alot. Thanks for all you wonderful articles/tapes, etc.

(161) Maria, July 7, 2010 10:21 PM

Hebrew alphabet

Great! I'm planning to study it every day and learn it by heart. Then I can start reading. Would love to learn the Sefardi pronunciation, considering my origins. And, like Chava said, the Temani pronunciation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the wonderful educational effort and guidance you provide for the Jewish community and all humanity. It certainly contribute to the bettering of our world.

(160) sarah, July 6, 2010 2:24 PM

Fantastic!

I'm planning to send it to family and friends so they'll start learning. Yishar coaj!

(159) Chava Dorit, Yerushalayim, July 6, 2010 12:28 PM

Temani Pronunciation Please!

This is really great. I would really appreciate a Temani voice (someone who pronounces Hebrew according to the Yemenites). I understand that they are the only ones who preserved the original alef, ayin, chet, chaf, and many other sounds that neither Ashkenazis nor Sefardis pronounce today. Many Israelis I know use this pronunciation in their prayers and I am trying to be one of them. Thanks so much!

(158) Devorah, May 18, 2010 8:14 AM

A new adventure for me

this will be a new aventure for me to learn Hebrew. thanks for being such a great site.

(156) EVANGELIST CHAMBERS, September 15, 2009 1:12 AM

This is a wonderful web site for someone just starting to learn hebrew. I am studiyng for a BA in Bibical Studies and I will need to learn both Hebrew and Greek in order to be more effective in my calling. Thank you for this web site the only thing I would add are the words and correct spelling under each letters. However I can not say enough good things about this website.

(155) Lomax, September 11, 2009 8:45 PM

I believe I can learn it.

I have tried to learn Hebrew over the years and it seemed like I just can't get it. After discovering "Learn The Hebrew Letters" I now I feel I can get it. Thanks for being here. Lomax - USA.

(154) Linda, August 26, 2009 5:41 AM

I agree with Lewis!

When we 'see' the letters and hear it we tend to learn much faster and better and retain the knowledge better.

(153) Paul, March 11, 2009 3:44 AM

This is a great Site!

I just had one lesson last week. I look forward to continuing. Paul

This is absolutly brillaint and extrodinary site, it is very helpful to me. I'v just started a course to learn Hebrew.

This site would be even more helpful if the name of the character was written underneath. My opinion is that it would be more helpful to see the charter, hear it pronounced and see it's name at the same time. Thank you so much

(150) Elisha Jin, January 27, 2009 10:20 AM

(127) Lis Chudnovsky, March 18, 2007 8:02 PM

great aid BUT

Great teaching aid, but would love to have vowels included! I'm no longer teaching, but still tutor a couple of kids who have learning disabilities. One of these students learns best visually and loves anything computer related. And this is so much more fun than my hoemmade flashcards!

(126) Anonymous, November 15, 2006 8:53 AM

Great aleph-bet! Thank you!

I really found this format helpful. It is something I can refer to several times throughout the day that reinforces what I have learned. Thank you!

hebrew

i like to learn hebrew

(122) JACEK, March 9, 2006 12:00 AM

AS A LIGUISTICIAN I SAY THAT THIS ON-LINE ANIMATED APPROACH TO LEARNING HEBREW IS VERY IMPESSIVE!
YOU HAVE PREPARED THE LESSONS WELL AND HAVING BOTH VOICE AND SCRIPT IN THE TWO LANGUAGES IS RARE, BUT IS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE.
I WILL SAY,HOWEVER, THAT,FOR SURE,IT WOULD BE FAR MORE BENEFICIAL IF YOU WERE TO HAVE ON THIS PAGE MANY MORE EPISODES RATHER THAN JUST THE X3 SHOWN!ARE YOU INTENDING TO ADD MORE ?
SHALOM!

(121) Chanshik Park, January 26, 2006 12:00 AM

(99) Gabriel, August 10, 2003 12:00 AM

I think your idea was helpfull to anyone who wants to learn Hebrew

As a student who is new to the language, it was nice to find such a clever interactive tool on the internet.

(98) Angela, July 19, 2003 12:00 AM

Your site better illustrates the differences in the shapes of the letters!

I recently signed up for Beginning Hebrew 1001 at the school I attend. I decided to familiarize myself with the language a little before the class started. I found a couple of sites on the Hebrew alphebet before finding your site and was very discouraged to find many of the letters looked identical!!! Then, luckily, I found your site. I was thrilled to see the enlarged letters and began to notice the differences. Now I'm more familiar with them than I ever thought I would be. Each letter seems distinctly different to me. (It also helps so much to hear the names of the letters pronounced. Now I won't feel like an idiot in class!)

This is fantastic! The animations are cute and slightly reminiscent of the "South Park" characters... my two year old loves this and actually learned the words from viewing it! Keep it coming!

This class may be for children but I think it's great for adults too. I just discovered it tonight. I hope you will continue with many more lessons because they are terrific! Thanks!

Personal Chart of Hebrew Alphabet

Who wants a free personal flip chart of the Hebrew Alphabet, to help you test yourself as you practice memorizing the letters? Laminated. Letter-size. Call 212-252-4313 and leave a message where to mail it. I have too many.

Excellent language course in Hebrew

How exciting to learn Hebrew on the internet. Thankyou so much for making it available for people like me to learn this language.

(37) Dawn Braun, November 13, 2001 12:00 AM

This is great!

I really enjoy this sight. I can see and hear the letters and play them over and over for a better understanding of the letter and it's sound. It is the best I have seen so far.

Thank you for our family lessons in Hebrew

Thank you so much for this valuable addition to your website. We are unable to afford hewbrew lessons. This is a great help.

(32) Anonymous, October 23, 2001 12:00 AM

Excellent site!

Although I am not Jewish by birth, I have a deep love and appreciation for all that is Jewish. This is one of the best sites I've ever laid eyes on. You are to be commended. Keep up the good work!

Thank you!

I am a beginner and this has helped so much.
Thank you again.

(27) Nancy Miller, July 18, 2001 12:00 AM

This is the best yet!

Hi,
While I have mastered the aleph-beis,
my husband doesn't have as much time, and is still at this stage...Your interactive screen is so much better than the others we have! This is a great tool--Thank you!!!

(26) Jason Bome, July 3, 2001 12:00 AM

(25) Alan Flanders, July 2, 2001 12:00 AM

Super program

For whatever age, this program is an open door for those of us who are just beginning. I wish a follow up could be added with some words and then short phrases. Thanks again for the entire service at AISH. Alan Flanders

(24) Peter Maritzen, June 24, 2001 12:00 AM

The look of the wall is good also the
hebrew letters

(23) ANN STIER, June 24, 2001 12:00 AM

Audiable Sounds

This is Excellent! Because hearing speeds the learing process.... only I feel that each individule may not have the same ability to advance ... so there should be a slower or advanced pace of presentation offered.

(22) Emil orit, June 16, 2001 12:00 AM

OK thank u for all ur help because of ur web site i learnd the whole alpha bet in hebrew i was supposed to study it for my barmitchva coming up in october thanx alot now i can study to the next level.

(21) Petros Theocritos, June 15, 2001 12:00 AM

Bad Graphics - confusion beth - kaph

Hi!

Your Page is nice - but one can't distinguish beth and kaph! The bottom of the kaph is ROUND, the bottom of beth is straight.
If possible, you can correct.
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Petros

Aish.com replys: Sorry for the confusion. The key is that in the beit the bottom bar extends beyond the upright and in the coph the bottom bar does not.

Thanks

Great! Very helpful. Makes good use of the web's interactive capabilities.
Sephardi pronounciations would be appreciated.
Thanks

(19) Mary, February 19, 2001 12:00 AM

Thank you for pronouncing the letters.

I would never know how to pronounce the Aleph-Bais except for your interactive guide. It makes practicing easy. Thanks so much.

(18) Jacie, February 1, 2001 12:00 AM

I could practice my letters right along with it!!!

While I saw and heard the letters being said, I also recited the Aleph-Beis that i have learned.

(17) lori, January 1, 2001 12:00 AM

my son nathan, 6 years old really likes this interactive learning. do you have anymore for children?
thank you!

(16) Philippe chaperon, December 31, 2000 12:00 AM

So Easy to Follow!

Its been a long time since I studied Ivrit and started to forget my Alef-Beis, but this interactive method was what I needed - easy and at my own pace. Do you intend to introduce the script alphabet also?
Thanks for this easy ulpan.

(15) Anonymous, November 25, 2000 12:00 AM

very excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please hurry and complete the next step on learning Hebrew. Also can we get the Sephardic pronunciation? This is so well done. Both the audio and the visual at the learners own pace. Excellent!!!!!! Is there a software CDRom of this? Please communicate with me. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Lydia Emery or soralydia@aol.com

(14) Matthew Rockhold, November 16, 2000 12:00 AM

todah!

Nice site-- I wish I would have found it sooner.

InterActive Aleph-Beis

Wow! This is great-I can come here everyday to learn. You plan to teach Hebrew on-line? I'll enlist if you do.

(12) Rocky, October 27, 2000 12:00 AM

Peace.

I appreciate this marvelous interactive learning center. It will help me on my journey for knowledge of self.

(11) Donna Blackburn, October 16, 2000 12:00 AM

Thanx

I have been searching for an aid in my endeavor to learn the aleph-beis.
This is a wonderful assist !

(10) E. Terry, October 14, 2000 12:00 AM

I love the interactive alef-bet!

Thank you for the alef-bet interactive, I've been looking for just basgic letters as as tarting point for a young student I am tutoring

(9) Bonnie Berman, October 10, 2000 12:00 AM

Great Web page! My daughter is always asking me to help her with her letters. Now, I found a great resource.

(8) Anonymous, September 30, 2000 12:00 AM

This is the best hebrew webpage I have ever seen great job!

(7) Leah Butterfield, September 10, 2000 12:00 AM

Great!

Tx you for the auditory inclusion of the alef beit. Really helps. Trying to learn Hebrew on my own.....

(6) Ricardo Saboya, July 19, 2000 12:00 AM

LEARNING MIRACLES!

every letter is a miracle! I noticed someone sugested a new study of words and perhaps sentences. that would be GOOD
SHALOM from Brazil...

(5) Arda, June 10, 2000 12:00 AM

THANKYOU!

I was learning Hebrew always doubting my pronounciation; this page is very helpful. What would be reaaaaalllyy great is to have some words pronounced too, especially those that arise quite often in the Torah. That would be sweet.

(4) Anonymous, April 3, 2000 12:00 AM

The slide show is wonderful.

I was planning to making flash cards to memorize the letters, now I will just watch the slide show until I get it, and will know how to pronounce the letters properly. Thank you so much.

(3) , March 25, 2000 12:00 AM

An excellent idea!

This is a great tool for adults like me who are learning Hebrew for the first time. Perhaps a transliteration of the pronunciation would help as the speakers on my computer are less than perfect!

(2) ERIC GOLDMAN, March 18, 2000 12:00 AM

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this! Todah Rabah for providing such a wonderful educational tool.
