Most of the audio resources that were available prior to the development of the project were produced in America using local Hebrew speakers.
We have included vowel points throughout, but no indication of accentuation as we felt this might confuse beginners. Seeing the words appear (animated from right to left) as they are written helps to make this seem more natural.Ī large font enables the student to clearly see small marks which may be part of the word and its forms. Native speakers of European languages have difficulty in getting into the habit of thinking from right to left. Sometimes we have had to think rather laterally in our choice of images or to use the word itself as a graphic, but since images are so helpful for learning, we feel some licence is acceptable. These are out-of-copyright black and white images (maximum dimension 240 pixels for vertical and horizontal aspects). Since the subject matter is Biblical Hebrew, we have opted for images from Bible-related texts printed in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Words are as far as possible presented in context, not merely as part of a sample phrase, but also with semantic domains and synonyms.

The word is introduced and contextualised in a sentence.
The image signified by the word is dominant on the page.
