Hear every word and phrase
Transliteration shows you the letters; audio gives you the sound. Scan the QR code on page 3 with your phone camera, choose the page you are on, and hear every word and phrase in this book. Where a woman says a phrase differently, you hear it in a female voice. Press play, listen, say it back. You can slow the playback down. No app, no sign-up, nothing to pay: it works in any phone browser.
You can use this book even if you are still slow at reading Hebrew letters: the sound of every word is printed right under it. If you are starting from the very beginning, the first two books in this series, Hebrew Alphabet Writing Workbook and Hebrew Reading Practice Workbook, teach the letters and the vowels.
Created in Israel. Every Hebrew word was checked against a Hebrew vocalization reference and read by a native Hebrew speaker.
