Well, it's kinda easy. Try to tremble the edge of your tongue, but not using "L" but with a bit, bit behind that part of the tongue.

It's pretty samiliar to the russian R...

Well, good to know there is hope. I've tried for years to roll the R but to no avail.

Why do you like my Resh so much. I figured there were more interesting consonants.

thanks. i`ll be listening to these soon

q_q_ · « **Reply #9 on:** January 27, 2008, 11:48:32 AM »

that website you uploaded too is very suspicious..

I am currently downloading the files with internet explorer, from a LUA(limited user account) so any exploits it tries cannot do any real damage.

The site does not let you download in firefox. It tries to get you to manually install junk before downloading, and cannot be skipped

I did mess up my computer a bit some days ago soon after downloading them(I was aware of the risk), I managed to clean my computer up somewhat. I don't know if that site was the cause.

Once I have downloaded them(with IE, from a LUA), I will zip them up and put them on a better site!
I will also up the volume with freeware called mp3gain.

Currently doing it.. I have time. Will be done today.

The mp3s are great.. I just listened to the first one. I think I have the Tet/palatial T.

here are some links to a zip of your mp3 lessons.

If anybody has an issue with one site, they can try another one.

Thanks, q_q_.

You're really great.

This is quite cool actually, and fairly easy. I'm going to post my try tomorrow.

You're greater!

What you are doing is so important..
A discussion forum is the perfect place for it too.

Rabbi Bar Hayyim's stuff is unique, it is a great shame that thus far his stuff is so badly presented on the internet. His torahlight site has vanished. He had an old site with shiurim - I think on shulchan aruch, I never saw it while it was up, but it vanished too.

I know he has his machonshilo site.

Lets make sure your stuff doesn't dissapear!

The consonants, i tried reading the transliterations of the letters but it sounded kind of dutch like to me.

Please tell me where i've gone wrong and sorry, it isn't sharp or clear.

Very good try, Sarah and it is very close to the way in which many people pronounce Hebrew in conversation.

But just as there is a difference between the way that Americans speak English and the King's English, there is a difference between common Hebrew and Proper Hebrew as I have detailed it.

Here is another small clip. Have a listen.

myalfabet.wav - 7.35MB

P.S.

The letters Bet, Gimmel, Dalet, Kaf, Peh, Shin, and Tav all have soft sounds, meaning if the letters has no dot in the middle it is pronounced differently.

I have made this audio showing the soft sounds as well as Sheen which if the dot is placed on the left it is pronounced Seen.

Sarah · « **Reply #17 on:** February 05, 2008, 05:46:34 PM »

Thanks. That clip is very clear too......boy is it a mouthful of letters!

Hebrew is an amazing language.

Most languages are either consonant rich or vowel rich.

Hebrew is rich in both.

that was great.

converted to mp3 it is 600KB.
I converted it with audacity (SUPER by eRightSoft was not converting it for some reason)

also, the other file sharing site crashes my browser.. 2shared.com is safer.

It is better if these things are on a few sites until we can find a more permanent organised backup solution.

Why does your Chet sound exactly the same as Hey? Also the two Gimmuls sound exactly the same with only one being softer than the other , isn't the one with the dot supposed to be J? Also are you using the Askenazi Sauf as being the correct one, I thought everyone says that we are wrong?

The Het and Heh do NOT sound the same. Listen again.

And the Gimmel is NOT supposed to be Jimmel. Rav Saadya Gaon says so. And the soft Ghimmel is pronounced properly as a Gh sound.

And I am NOT using the Ashkenazi Sav, I am using the correct Thaw. TH not S.
