Shalum, everyone. Today we are learning one of the most important foundations of Paleo-Hebrew: Pronunciation.
Ancient Hebrew is not just letters — it’s a breath-based language, built on natural sounds, body movements, and the breath of life. When we understand how the letters were spoken, the entire language becomes easier to read, write, and feel.
By the end of this lesson, you will know:
✔ Hard vs. Soft consonant sounds
✔ Why we use “a” when transliterating Paleo-Hebrew
✔ How to pronounce the guttural letters (𐤀 𐤄 𐤇 𐤏)
✔ Silent letters and how they function
✔ How breath and sound shape meaning in this ancient tongue
Let’s begin.
