![]() ![]() I actually had no idea the book was that expensive, it's been a while since I used it and I wasn't using my own copy at the time. The good news is that, mercifully, this alphabet resembles the regular hebrew alphabet quite a lot so is easy to learn and you won't need it to read books (or write on a computer, for that matter - it's really just a handwriting alphabet).ĮDIT: it shows up as 23 dollars for a new copy for me here and about 9 dollars for used, maybe you were looking at a different one? Lastly about the alphabet, there is some bad news and some good news, namely that there is a "second" alphabet, the cursive hebrew alphabet which is used pretty much exclusively in handwriting. Exceptions to the no "nikud" (punctuation) rule are newspapers and magazine and such that are made specifically for language learners, and children's books and some religious jewish texts (especially prayer books and whatnot). So you have to kind of guess which vowels you need to apply to the consonants from context and common sense, which requires a bit of immersion and practice. But 99% of the time when reading non-practice texts, they won't be there. And in Hebrew this is especially important to get a feel for the alphabet when it's written without punctuation (vowels).įourth, you can always pm me if you have a specific question.Īnyway, as for the alphabet - it's a bit of annoying thing, because even though the consonants are easy enough to learn, the vowels are usually not written in Hebrew - if they are, they appear as kind of punctuation marks beneath and above the consonants, but otherwise there aren't individual letters for e, a, i, in the sense you're used to. Third, as with any language, once you establish a basis to learn with, immersion is key to expanding your vocab and such. Second, if you've decided you really want to learn this I strongly recommend "hayesod - fundamentals of hebrew", which is imo the best book to learn Hebrew with. More information about how course contribution works can be found at the Course contributor guide.First off, there's /r/hebrew, which is a great subreddit to start out with, there have been a lot of threads there over time on a variety of subjects you can search. See the Incubator application and the Moderator page for more information on course moderation. More information about qualifications is available on the course contributor application form.Ī course moderator is a course contributor who is given additional duties, such as managing the activities of the other contributors and creating translation guidelines. On top of that, contributors are expected to be passionate and committed to their course and to language education in general. The basic requirement for contributing to a language course is fluency in both the language being taught and the language being taught from. ![]() Course contributorsĪ course contributor is a bilingual volunteer who helps create a Duolingo language course. Errors can still be reported, but most of the rough edges have been smoothed. Such courses are considered to have "graduated" from beta. Phase 3 A Phase 3 course is a course that has met certain quality criteria, such as a low rate of error reports. Users who take beta courses are encouraged to report any such errors or omissions using the in-lesson report button. Phase 2 Courses in Phase 2 are completed courses that are available to the public to learn but are considered to be in beta specifically, they may contain some mistakes or may not accept all correct answers to exercises. More details about course creation can be found at the Course contributor guide. For some courses, it may also involve translating Duolingo's user interface into the language being taught from and/or obtaining a speech synthesizer or native speaker audio for the language being taught. Course creation involves translating thousands of words and sentences between the language the course teaches and the language it teaches from and arranging those words and sentences into lessons and skills. Phase 1 Courses in Phase 1 are in the process of being created. As of May 2019, this is for instance currently the case for Swedish from Turkish course. Note: Courses can be in the incubator without being in any Phase. Duolingo courses are classified into three different phases depending on how far they are into development and testing. ![]()
