Hebrew

Jewish? Learning the language? Know it? Post here.

 

I am Jewish but i dont speak it fluently. I know some words and i can read it just fine. I would like to know the language fluently before i reach college. Anyone else?

 

Edit:

next month i am reading torah. i will post the entire portion in hebrew transliteration and english translation and point out my alliyah (the little bit i read)

 

Gamemaster_268: Please do not double post, I merged the posts, and I'm letting you off easy, but don't do it again. I would take the points off for the extra post, but your a Primary Banner, so you can take them off yourself if you see fit(or djbob can)

 

djbob: actually, double posting is allowed, i've made it a few times. but from a little earlier today, on, double posts within an hour of each other aren't allowed. i think these kind of posts should be allowed, because he pretty much deserves points for both the posts.

Here is my torah portion (chapter 14/Metsora') for 4/16( i will point out my section that i am reading-- Aliyah) :

Leviticus Capter 14

(1)And the Lord spoke to Moses saying, (2)This shall be the Torah of the leper i the day of his cleansing;

He shall be brought to the priest; (3)And the priest shall go out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the disease of leperosy is heald in the leper; (4)Then shall the priest command to take for him who is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean,and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop; (5)And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killes in an earthen utensil over running water;

 

 

This is my Aliyah (translation: going up; what im going to read to the congregation) If you want more of the verse i will post it on request. Here is the transliteration (hebrew words english letters)of it:

 

(1)Vaydaber adonai el-Moshe le'mor: (2)Zot tiyeh torat hamtzorah b'yom ta'haratoh v'huvah el-hacohen: (3)v'yatza hcohen el-michutz lamachaneh v'ra'ah ha cohen v'hineh nirpa negah-hatzara'at min-hatzaruah: (4) v'tzivah hacohen v'lakach l'mitaher shteh-tziparim chayut t'horot v'etz erez ushni tola'at v'ezov: (5)v'tzivah hacohen v'shachat et-hatzipor ha'echat el-c'li-chares el-mayim chayim:

ouchhh.... kill me if i understood a single word of it... but it sounds cool. I always though that those languages that are sorta drawed are cuter than the normal letters

[a charmed girl]

it's really easy to learn...lol u can learn about all of it in a month or 2..

[majazac]

come on, you're kidding right?

[a charmed girl]

no...really aint kiddin lol it's really easy..and the best way to learn a language really good is to go to a place where they speak it...so...

it's not really that much of a problem..lol the only problem u can have if ur american or british is with the accent..

[majazac]

that's true. The best way to learn a language is to live in where it's spoken. That how i learned french. And brasilian portuguese, do you think is a really bad accent in hebrew?

[miccadoin]
