Help KWRBT learn Hebrew thread
« on: March 02, 2011, 11:00:51 PM »
Shalom Aleichem.  I don't have much time to type right now but thought I would open this thread.   I've been using google translate to try to learn Hebrew in my spare time.   The main problem is the lack of vowels displayed there, so when I learn a new vocabulary word, unfortunately I have no idea how to pronounce it.

Here is an example:  שוכנת

This word (at least as far as I can gather) is akin to the English term "live"   

Ie, "She lives in Haifa."

How do you say the word, though - Is it "Shochenet?"     Or some other vowelization?   This will be my first lesson, and I thank whoever will teach me.

Shalom KWRBT,

Have you tried any of the online Hebrew courses? I am thinking of trying it myself...

Your transliteration seeks accurate. I assume you know the how to pronounce the ch. And the stress is on the next to last syllable
