If you're having trouble with the hebrew writing systems, here is a very good chart to use:
Vocab from My First Hebrew Word Book
I found a PDF of Judyth Groner’s My First Hebrew Word Book, and even though it’s aimed at literal preschoolers, it’s been helpful for an amateur like me! The words in the book are written with nikud (the little vowel dots) since it’s aimed at kids, so I tried to find the ktiv malé/full spelling equivalents. Here’s the list of vocab (below the cut)--there’s nearly 175 words! As always, feel free to let me know if I made any mistakes, which is very possible!
to any hebrew learners:
watch ארץ נהדרת (eretz nehederet)!!! it’s basically a show that makes fun of everyone and everything (including our prime minister)
some of it’s benefits:
1) it has subtitles (in hebrew)
2) you get to learn about israeli culture and a bit more about how things work here
3) almost all the videos are free!! they have a youtube channel and a website where they have the videos
4) it’s a very very very very well known show (for hebrew speakers and israelis)
5) there is a lot of slang, so that can help you when speaking with natives, since half of our speech is just slang and slurred words
Hebrew/Arabic Learning Resource: This Is Not An Ulpan on Instagram
This Is Not An Ulpan is an alternative language school based in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. They offer modern Hebrew and Palestinian-dialect spoken Arabic courses both in-person and online for a variety of levels.
TINAU was founded by expats in Israel-Palestine who were frustrated with the nationalist agenda often found in traditional Israeli Hebrew courses (Ulpanim). TINAU’s teaching style is based on critical pedagogy and democratic learning.
They have an active Instagram account where they team up with NGOs around Israel-Palestine to offer relevant words in Hebrew and Arabic related to social change that you won’t learn in the average language school.
does anyone have any good hebrew workbooks/lessons/courses to recommend? i'm doing duolingo but i need more grammar and-- rigor, i guess? to learn effectively. either modern or biblical is fine.
