Would it be Daphneh or Daphne? And if it’s the latter, is it common for a hey to make an ee sound at? Thanks.

What is the difference between these two words? They both mean "required" but I don't know enough to know when to use each. Thank you!

I've been researching since December and I'm leaning towards Hebrew pod, but I really want to make sure I haven't overlooked any better options, and would appreciate input from anyone with more knowledge than me.

My son (9) will be attending a school next year that is giving him the leeway to choose to learn Hebrew as opposed to the typical Spanish class. This was my son's request and I agree with it, as he is worried he can't learn 3 languages at once, and learning Hebrew is much more important to him.

He knows the aleph-bet and can read most words as long as there are diacritics, but he has a very small vocabulary because most resources I've found for his age are all about learning letters, a very select few words, and not how to form even small sentences, and he's ready to move on from that.

We've been doing DuoLingo and the school will even give him a premium account, but I've seen many posts about how bad the translations are, and I'm worried this makes it a poor resource.

Any resource--online or book, isn't an issue--that comes with vocabulary lists or worksheets, things that he can study or be tested on, or short videos/podcasts...the only preference is ones that still use diacritics as he struggles immensely without. I have to build the curriculum myself since the school only has a Spanish teacher, and I have to be able to present them with the work he is doing for him to get the language credit.

I hope I'm not asking for too much, and I appreciate all help I can get.

Hoping this poll answers the continuous questions about the best app. Feel free to comment on your answer or if there is a different app you prefer.

NEW: Polls allow only six possible responses, so I’m replacing Duolingo (let’s be honest, it’s not great) with See Results.

Hi, I'm 25M and ever since I saw the hebrew alphabet when I was around 7 I fell in love with it, I'm looking to find friends who can maybe give me an introduction to the language since I want to start by talking this beautiful language, thank you 🙏🏻

Israel's original choice, October Rain, was rejected for being too political. (I don't think it's political at all.)

Most of the lyrics are in English, except for this bit:

לא נשאר אוויר לנשום

אין מקום
אין אותי מיום ליום
כולם ילדים טובים אחד אחד

I'm looking for a good idiomatic translation. My Hebrew is nowhere near conversational level, but if it were, I wouldn't be here asking for help. Here's what I have:

There is no air left to breathe
There is no room
There is no me from day to day
They are all good children, every one (of them)

I especially don't like the third line, but I welcome correction on all of them.

This question comes from listening to the song - קצת משוגעת - by Sarit Hadad (addictive). The English translation of the title on Youtube is "Kazt Meshugat" and that sounds like how she's pronouncing קצת during the song. Some grammatical rule that shifts the meaning of the word or perhaps a Mizrachi style of pronunciation?

.היי, יש לי חברה שרוצה שם בעברית המילה "קורנית" נשמעה כמו שם שלה באנגלית, אבל אני לא יודע אם המילה הזאת יכולה להיות שם. מה אתם חושבים?

I’m not sure if I’m just doing it wrong, but I’m way early into it and it’s expecting me to know words when it hasn’t even really taught the alphabet. Also I can’t easily remember the simple words yet. Is there a method to this I’m missing?

Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for solid Ulpanim available online?

I see some things on the internet but wanted to ask this Reddit community?

Things you’d say to a spouse or call a spouse?

When I Google it the closest thing I find to it is David.

Hello everyone,

With all due respect, I come here as a christian to ask for help on a translation.

A girl called me « haim sheli » and i am not sure about the meaning of it since internet lacks of accuracy when it comes to hebrew translation AND meaning of it.

We have been together in the past and we started talking again lately, but i don’t know anything about hebrew and sometimes it leads to some misunderstanding. Please help !

Thank you

Why is this שַׂמֵחַ Read as Sameach and not samecha?

So I’ve lived in Israel before and I can read words in Hebrew (don’t know the translation, can just read it), but I never actually picked up the language. I got Rosetta Stone but it’s garbage, I have to use Google translate on half the things because there is no way to get an English translation on the actual website. How do I go about learning it? I found a good podcast on YouTube that gives a lot of different words to learn so I’m going to try that, but what else can I do?

Thanks in advance!

Or is it generally a standardised one?

So in Hebrew yours (when talking to multiple people which include at least one man) is spelled "שֶׁלָכֶם", while theirs (when talking about multiple people which include at least one man) is spelled "שֶׁלָהֶם".

These words are obviously spelled different and mean different things, but when I hear them pronounced they sound exactly the same to me as "sheloham". I keep replaying the pronunciations of these words again and again but honestly can't hear any difference at all.

What is the difference in the pronunciation of these words?
