About this book
From Letters to Sentences: Learn to Read Hebrew with Vowels, One Sound at a Time, Large Format for Adult Beginners
You know the Hebrew letters. Now learn to read the words.
Now with free audio: scan the QR code inside and hear every word, sentence and short text read in Israeli Hebrew.
Knowing the alphabet is the first step. Reading is the second: joining letters and vowel marks into syllables, words and sentences. This workbook takes you there in small, clear steps, and asks you to read every one of them out loud.
Inside you will find:
- Every vowel mark, taught one sound at a time, with a syllable grid for every letter
- Syllable drills, real words and a self-check for each vowel
- Over 270 everyday words, each with its pronunciation and meaning
- 14 topics, from family and food to numbers, colors and the days of the week
- 46 sentences and five short texts, built only from words you have already read
- Five famous verses from the Hebrew Bible
- A first look at reading without vowels: everyday words and street signs
- Speed checks to measure your progress, and a full answer key at the back
Each lesson is set on facing pages: the left page gives the sound and meaning of every word, and the right page asks you to read without help.
Hear every word
Reading out loud only works if you know how the word should sound. Scan the QR code on page 3 with your phone camera, choose the page you are on, and hear every word, sentence and text in this book. Press play, listen, then read it yourself. You can slow the playback down. No app, no sign-up, nothing to pay: it works in any phone browser.
