I originally learned that “Shibboleth is right” (Judges 12:6), but “sin is never right” is faster to remember. 👍

Thank you, the letters pronounce are similar to native language I do speak, I am excited to see how much progress I can make at learning hebrew

[evadnesmith]

Thank you. Ever since I visited Israel some years ago I have always been interested in learning this amazing language but I had doubts because of my age (73). But listening to you I think it is possible. Bless you.

[tomducommun]

Thank you! So glad to find someone who teaches Biblical Hebrew while pronouncing the sounds correctly! I have Ben getting irritated listening to videos of the American biblical Hebrew “experts” that I can just tell are lazy in their pronunciation. I think learning the correct pronunciation is as important as learning the meanings. Reminds me of the American western movies where the hick tries to pronounce Spanish words. 😂

[marounaboujaoudeh]

Fastest time I learned a new alphabet with strange looking letters. Thank you. Can't wait for the next lesson 😊

[johnkaras]

This was excellent. I am just starting out learning Hebrew (I'm 76) and even though I have a pretty good grammar book, there's nothing like hearing the correct pronunciation when you do not have an instructor. I am really looking forward to future lessons. May our Lord richly bless you for sharing your knowledge to those of us who also love the Lord and desire to know Him better through the original language.

[hannimalgray]

Shalom Aloha ani Shainia toda raba for teaching us Ivriet Aloha

[Yaruandromedano]

Xalom 🙏 this is going to be my go to Hebrew study video. That Khe-t and Kha-f pronunciation is something I got to work on 😅

[traceyrobinson]

Shabbat Shalom Everyone! I'm a beginner and I found this easy to follow. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world 🙌🏾🌹🙌🏾

[rinaamaya]

Thanks The Lord bless you It’s a good teaching

[marizaroets]

Your brilliance is making my night.
I have downloaded an app to learn Hebrews and its been hard. They've never explained things so easily. Did not know that you read from right to left. Also did not add the basis sounds for the letters. I feel like e light just turn on. Thank so much. I will be back for all your teachings on Hebrews.
