Learningthe alphabet is the way to begin learning Old Testament Hebrew.

Work at your own pace,but I would suggest you set aside at least forty-five minutes pernight.

1. Memorize the Hebrewletters from the letter table just like you learned your abc's.

2. Be able to say themand write them.

Learn to write theletters on a line from right to left (just the opposite ofEnglish):

Use this alphabet tocompare the names below unless you have HebraicaII font. You mayalso copy the source of the page and substitute my Hebrew fontwith one of your choice.

3. Also know how theysound.

4. Know how totransliterate them, even if it is in a crude sense:
