READING
Just three short texts to read today :)
Here is the familiar audio section - but this time, with a surprise! Yes, right, it's no longer me reading it. :)

Why is that?

Because it's good to train your ear to listen to original content and it's good to hear different voices and different pronunciations (see more about it in the bonus section!)

Amazing guy talking about the challenges of Hebrew pronunciation for English-speakers

This website has some recordings of words by native-speakers:
http://ru.forvo.com/
Note: pronunciation of Modern Israeli
Secular Ashkenazi Hebrew

Note: pronunciation of Modern Israeli Secular Ashkenazi Hebrew
It is important to realise that languages change.

They change from period to period, from place to place and from one community or social stratum to another, while Hebrew is no exception.

Thus, the way Hebrew is pronounced in Brooklyn today is different from the way it was pronounced in Berdichev two hundred years ago, and both are different from the way it was pronounced in King David's times.

Moreover, there is even no sole Israeli pronunciation today.

Yemenite and Persian Jewry community members, Sephardic orthodox Jews and American immigrants, proud French-speaking minority and even Israeli Arabs - each one of these groups has its own pronunciation variants.

However, for the sake of convenience and simplicity the pronunciation of the current descendants of the Founding Fathers of Israel (which were mainly from the Russian Empire and other Eastern European countries) is considered to be the most representative, and it is what you are presented with in the following links.

Not too many words for this lesson! Do you want to learn more?

If you feel like you may need a broader vocabulary to express yourself freely sooner (which is true! because our lego-like course has the absolute minimum of words!) you would like to familiarize yourself with this additional vocab for curious. It will not be included in the course exercises, but you will definitely need these words out there when you start using the language!
