Hi Rut! My name is Antonio. I have to tell you how much your instructions have helped me. I purchased your Modern Hebrew Verbs Step By Step. I am falling down a lot, but I am learning and loving it. I am also trying to get into one of your classes. Thank you so much for what you do!
I signed up for your course on parsing verbs last week. Took advantage of your birthday special…. Happy Birthday, Rut! Best thing I ever did! You are an excellent teacher. Very methodical/logical. I don’t like this new way of teaching of just repetition without any understanding. If you have other courses, I would like to sign up 🙏🏼❤
Super helpful. I learned my Hebrew as a foreign chef in the Hilton Tel-Aviv in the 1990's. It's still familiar to me now many years later in my native Northern Ireland when I hear or see it. Shalom. Great course. I will recommend it to Hebrew interested friends. 🤍
the dot in the vav is not for historical reasons. It's a dagesh, and doubles the letter, like the shaddah in Arabic. Some sephardic people, like the Yemenite, know how to pronounce the double letter, and they actually pronounce it. It's not historical.
I wish you could have been my school teacher from grade 1 through 11 , I may have learned something. Here in the US school system has failed. I've learned a lot from you. But I realize I'll never be that fluent. Wish I could have said all this in evret. It would have been very rough. Lol blessings to you Rut ❤🙏🙌
Your videos are so helpful! But in cases of foreign words, such as טאיוואן (Taiwan), the double vav is pronounced as /w/, isn't it? Or it's still pronounced /v/?
Yes, there is /w/ in this word. Some people say that there is no /w/ in Hebrew, but it's not accurate. The sound of the letter Vav in Hebrew is used to be /w/, that was the sound of this letter before the middle ages, when it shifted into /v/. That still has an impact on the pronunciation in Hebrew, but in loanwords, the sound /w/ usually remains /w/ if they were borrowed recently.
Thank you for the video! You said that we could right now access your verb course for free. I clicked on the link you provided, and see that there is a seven day trial for your course. Is this what you mean? I couldn’t get any further in the registration process without giving my credit card information.

@@kalman3863 I think she is just trying to explain modern Hebrew here. But I love learning new facts like this.❤️

one needs to get obsessed a bit, but do not let go of it. Your Hebrew is my skateboard 😃😃

Here: v .In English you pronounce it W, but in many other languages it is v (Czech, German, Luxembourgish...)

Thank you. Chodesh Tov to you and your family. 👍💯
Thank you , can you share the historical reasons for the niqud ?
To be honest, I am not a nikkud expert. For modern Hebrew they do more bad than good 😄
Toda raba!

Not the verb course. The reading and writing course is free.
all right, thank you.
Yea gotta study more 👍🏼😂😂
O.k. That's how you pronounce conversational Hebrew in Israel, but in the ancient Hebrew, was the double vav not pronounced like a W?
If you find somebody who "knows" how it was pronounced 3000 years ago, let me know 😂😂
