                  Pronunciation - Review

In the following charts you will be reviewing again the general
structure of the Hebrew vowels.

Pay attention to the sounds of the different vowels and note those,
which produce similar sounds.

       Letter and
                                                                                                     vowel
                                                                                                     placement

OO O EE E                                        A             Sound

as in poor as in short as in peer as in egg as in father

Pay special attention to the additional possibility (more common in Modern
Hebrew), of producing the sounds 'O' and 'OO' and 'EE', by using the "stick /
dot" combinations.
