Lesson Five



Consonants

The "resh" is pronounced "r" as in rain.


The "shin" is pronounced two ways, "sh" as in sharp, and "s" as in sign. When a dot is placed on the top right corner of the letter it takes the "sh" sound and when the dot is placed on the top left corner of the letter it takes the "s" sound.

Vowels

The dot above the "vav" is pronounced "o" as in open. The "vav" becomes silent. When this "vav" is suffixed to a word it means "to him" or "his".



Notes

  1. In Hebrew, the verb usually appears before the noun, such as in lines 5 and 6 in the sentences above
