| Hi everyone. |
| Welcome to The Ultimate Hebrew Pronunciation Guide. |
| You've made it to the last lesson! Do you feel more confident about speaking in Hebrew now? |
| In this last lesson, we'll wrap things up by quizzing you on the material that we've covered in this series. |
| Let's practice! |
| Make sure to practice out loud with this lesson! |
| You know all the parts and pieces, but can you speak Hebrew with a natural accent? |
| If you've been quiet up until now, be sure to speak out loud with (host name)! |
| Are you ready? Let's go! |
| You probably knew this phrase before you started this series, but did you know how to pronounce it correctly? |
| Give it a shot! |
| בוקר טוב "good morning" |
| Did you pronounce this sound correctly? |
| Many learners often struggle with this simple phrase because there's growling R-like sound that is unusual for many speakers. Try pronouncing it again. |
| בוקר טוב "good morning" |
| If you still haven't got it, go back to lesson 6 to review the material. |
| What about this next one? |
| פרח נוי "ornamental flower" |
| Did you pronounce the diphthong correctly? |
| It's identical to the diphthong in the English word 'boy'. We covered this sound in lesson 7. |
| Listen to it again. |
| פרח נוי "ornamental flower" |
| Okay. Let's move on. |
| Where is the stress in this example? |
| דבר "thing" |
| In this example, the final syllable is stressed. Stress will predominantly fall on the last two syllables of a word, with the final syllable being much more likely, so if you had to guess, it's quite likely that the stress is on the final syllable. |
| דבר "thing" |
| Here's the last one. |
| Diacritics aren't normally marked in most Hebrew texts, but could you read the following? |
| בּ |
| The dot in the center indicates that this letter is pronounced as a B sound like 'buy'. |
| Okay, last one. |
| בַ |
| This has a horizontal line segment underneath the letter which indicates that the letter is meant to be pronounced as an A, like in the word 'far'. |
| How did it go? Do you feel like you have a better accent than you did at the beginning of this series? |
| What parts of Hebrew Pronunciation are still difficult for you? |
| Good luck as you continue learning Hebrew! Bye! |
