With the advent of online video sites, learning Hebrew is now easier than ever with free videos. The people that make the videos have been very creative and artistic. We will discuss some of the videos available in this article.



Some videos teach the alphabet. You can hear Debbie Friedman's alef-bet song with a video of the related letters. This is a "must-see" video, and you will find yourself singing along with the Hebrew alef-bet.

Some videos were created professionally, and others by hobbyists that have a passion for the Hebrew language. One of the best systems for learning the alphabet is called "At Home with Hebrew" by HebrewResources.com. They later came out with "Hebrew Kindergarten" have uploaded samples of both.

There are several types of videos where the words are displayed on the screen, and someone reads the words. An author known as "bnaiorpueblo" has posted several of these using verses from the Hebrew scriptures.

Many of the videos include music. You can often find yourself learning Hebrew faster with a catchy Hebrew song, whether it be ancient liturgy or a modern Israeli song. The melodies tend to help your remember the words, so you find yourself learning with minimal effort.

Children can also learn from the online videos. One set of Hebrew lessons are taught by "Vampire Bear". As an adult, it may sound juvenile, but children probably love it.

It's also possible to learn Hebrew liturgy via the online videos. One of the lessons teaches the prayers for lighting candles on Friday night before the Shabbat meal. Several people have recorded the Shema V'Ahavta, and allow you to follow the words while the liturgy is sung.

After you know the alphabet, you probably want to learn some basic vocabulary. Some authors have organized videos topically, such as shopping terms, computer technology, or parts of the human body. The rewind feature can be used to hear parts of the videos over and over as desired.

To summarize, free videos are one of the latest ways to learn Hebrew. Viewers enjoy the ability to hear the words pronounced, and follow along with the words displayed in the video. One of the best parts, of course, is that the videos are all free.
