Day One: Your first lesson in Hebrew 







Hello, everyone! Today is my first day learning Hebrew. Here is what I learned in my first lesson:

1. Hebrew has 22 letters.

2. The Hebrew alphabet is written from right to left.

3. The Hebrew language is read from right to left.

4. Hebrew is a guttural language, which means that many of the letters are pronounced deep in the throat.

5. The Hebrew word for "hello" is shalom.

6. The Hebrew word for "goodbye" is lehitraot.

7. The Hebrew word for "thank you" is toda.

8. The Hebrew word for "I'm sorry" is lo aleinu.



Day One afforded a rewarding introduction to Hebrew. The alphabet was introduced with its accompanying vowels, and the following lessons will build upon the material covered. The fundamentals of grammar were also touched upon, laying a strong foundation for the weeks and months to follow.
