Lesson Eight

Consonants
 The "tsade" is pronounced "ts" as in pots.
 The final "tsade" is the form used when the letter appears at the end of a word and is also pronounced "ts".
 The "quph" is pronounced "q" as in quiet.
Vowels
 This vowel is a combination of the "sheva" vowel and the "a" vowel learned previously. The vowel works the same as the "sheva" with a pronunciation of "a" as in father, when placed under the first consonant of the word.
Notes
The "et" precedes a direct object of the verb and is never translated into English. For example, if I said "I drove to the store", the direct object is "store" becuase "the" comes before it and the "et" would precede it. If I said "I drove to a store", the "et" would not precede it since "store" in this sentence is not a direct object.
