Learning Hebrew

It all starts with the alphabet, or actually the aleph bet.  Why learn Hebrew?  So you can understand God's word better, and thus know God better.  Can we know God without knowing Hebrew?  Of course.  Can we know Hebrew and not know God?  Of course.  But will knowing Hebrew hurt?  I don't think so.

Hebrew is from right to left, not left to right, and it was around before English, so if you say it is backwards, keep in mind that is only in reference to our understanding, not in terms of the history of Language.

The letters that have more than one type show the form at the beginning and middle of the word, and the second type is the final form, the way the letter is at the end of the word.  Sin and Shin (the second to last letter) are distinguished by a dot at the top.  You can learn that eventually.

Kids can learn the aleph bet the same way as the alphabet, but saying it over and over again.
