I'm interested in learning the Hebrew language. I thought I might be able to learn it on my own, but looking at the alphabets, I'm beginning to have my doubts

I'm interested in learning the Hebrew language. I thought I might be able to learn it on my own, but looking at the alphabets, I'm beginning to have my doubts

it is not as hard as it looks, believe it or not. i found the arabic alphabet harder to learn.

 

[virago]

As Arabic is technically my first language, I assume that I have an advantage as both languages are related.

Although I am more comfortable using English, it would be more interesting if I could find resources that are meant to teach the language to Arabic speakers. I haven't found anything worthwhile so far.

Is it possible to learn the language without a tutor?

 

[Vishnu]

Arabic looks like a crazy language. Don't the letters change into different letters depending on the word? it looks like a nightmare to write.

 

[chacha_jalebi]

lol wot about hindi den?

 

[virago]

Don't the letters change into different letters depending on the word?

Yes, the form of the letter changes depending upon its position in a sentence. But the difference isn't great.

 

[Vishnu]

lol wot about hindi den?

If you have a good memmory, Hindi is easy for a foreigner.

 

[chacha_jalebi]

memory? foreignor? eh eh eh ????????????

hindi is a mission 2 rude plus it looks same as tamil, panjabi, bangali n a childs paintin

 

[Vishnu]

Well the only people who actually have an interest to learn Hindi are people who are visiting India, or have an interest in Indian culture... so basically most of these people are "foreigners"

I am a foreigner to people in Jordan... you are a foreigner to people in India.

[north_malaysian]

cacadoodle doo?

Huh??:rollseyes


p/s: lavikor, your family have been living in haifa for generations. Does your hebrew have some similarity with Levantine Arabic? Just curious?

 

[Vishnu]

Where is our Hebrew teacher?!?

I don't think he is putting in 100% effort into teaching us. lol.

Maybe he's busy with something. Just have to be patient.

 

[lavikor201]

I hope this helps... it is pretty much a begginers guide for different Hebrew words. What someone who is focusing on should do is try look at the hebrew Alphabet chart, and try to sound out and begin reading.

Greetings lavikor201,

I did not get a chance to welcome you earlier so I will take the opportunity to thank you for joining our forum and wish you a pleasant stay and one that will be beneficial, God-Willing .

It is nice of you to start this thread to teach your language, and I have found it to be very interesting indeed! I noticed how similar the Hebrew alphabet is to the Arabic one, in terms of the names that some letters have. There are also similarities in some of the actual words in both languages.

If I may ask a question, what is the function of the straight line that appears in some words?

I look forward to reading more of your posts,

Peace.

P.S. I moved the off-topic posts into the above linked thread.

shalom muhammad,
those lines are vowels - they are not normally written but are in dictionaries and for kids and beginners. there are many words that are very close to arabic, tho sometimes they are totally different. arabic grammar i think is quite different and more complex.
for more, we have to wait for our teacher to come back to class.
