How+to+Teach+the+Alef-bet


 * ALPHABET and VOWELS**

Here’s what I have to offer as self-learning resources for the alphabet [Charles].
 * __Aleph-Bet Animation__ || Animation with song. Mp3 version also available. || [] ||
 * __Aleph-Bet Lecture__ || Here I show how to form the letters as I also give their names, pronunciation, final forms, similar looking/sounding letters, etc. || [] ||
 * __Vowel Chart__ || I got this chart from my first Hebrew teacher who got it from his teacher. There are actually two charts in this pdf. The top chart is a handy reference for reading. One could quibble about the pronouncation guide but it gives students a basic place to start. || [] ||
 * __Vowel Lecture__ || In this lecture, I build up the vowel chart mentioned above and discuss it in detail. || [] ||

Here are some other resources elsewhere on the Internet:
 * [|Hebrew4Christians: The Hebrew Alphabet] — Provides guides (non-animated) for writing block and cursive Hebrew, and even paleo-Hebrew. Gets into gematria and kabbalistic speculations about the letters, which might prove distracting to students who drill down into the sub-pages. Includes [|audio of an aleph-bet song] using the tune by which American children learn ABCs. Scroll about halfway down the page to find Hebrew, transliteration, and audio of a blessing to God for teaching you to write the letters.
 * [|Hebrew at Stanford: Multimedia] — animated examples of forming //cursive// Hebrew
 * [|Shalom-Peace.com: The Hebrew Alphabet] — Printable guide to forming block letters.
