I found your channel at a birthday party that I was at earlier today. Thank you for giving me a way to dissociate by switching to Hebrew! You’re so entertaining!

Thank you for this video. My mother's language is Russian and it's really easy for me to pronounce the vowels, but I have some troubles with "r" sound.

Noa, your videos are really helpful and add another dimension compared to other Hebrew language videos. You have an excellent ear, being able to speak American accented English beautifully as well as Israeli accented English. Just subscribed.

@@Hebrewinthespotlight My wife and I are coming to Israel for 2-3 months this summer. I hope to bring my Hebrew up. You're absolutely right, Israelis switch to English almost right away at the first hint of an American accent. Makes it harder for English speakers to learn. I studied at Ulpan Etzion many years ago for one 5 month session. The students from countries like Romania had no choice but to learn Hebrew quickly. I will practice your exercises to get the Hebrew vowels sounding more legit. The resh drives me crazy especially when 2 reshes are close together like L'shachrer.

I found this fascinating. I have been living in Israel for 38 years, learned Hebrew without the state supported Ulpan, Just had to pick it up. I think my Hebrew is passable, conversant, and my American accent in speaking Hebrew not as strong as I have heard other American accents speaking Hebrew. What I find frustrating, and maybe this vowel thing or the cadence is the cause, sometimes when I speak Hebrew the Israeli will look at me and say "I don't speak English" but I spoke to him/her in Hebrew!!!

Wow, I'm so glad it helps you. Yes, I had the same problem with English vowels when I was learning. Just practice and you get better quickly, I promise.

Hardest sound for me to do in Hebrew is the resh. As you said, it is not a sound made by the lips, but in the throat. I used to get so laughed at with my attempts to say it right, but I still can't do it.

It's nothing to laugh at, it's not easy at all to work on an accent. As long as people understand you, it doesn't matter. In my opinion, accent is the music of the place we come from. I like it when people speak Hebrew with different accents, It's like hearing different types of music. 💜

The ''israeli accent'' is actually askhenazi yiddish accent in original hebrew ע was prounced its actually was closer to arabic in terms of pronouncition the mizrahim pronounce it closer to ancient hebrew
