I'm learning much in this style of teaching. Thank you so much for posting this lesson ans I am looking forward to future lessons.

Shalom Tim, your videos are on whole different level. Your instruction is clear concise and well thought out. Much respect to you. Please make more videos! We love them.

Thank you very much! I will have to watch this video several times to grasp the concept firmly. I wish I had a worksheet covering this with an answer key. That always helps me learn.

Your video lessons are so clear. Thank you! 🙏🏽

This is, by far, THE cutest teaching about the Dagesh lene, Dagesh forte, and BeGeD KeFaT... (& then some) .. I have ever seen. There is so much to learn and know about Biblical Hebrew. Very well done!

I have commented it before, but just have to express again how explicit good this teaching is.

I am here in Jerusalem learning Biblical Hebrew using the spoken method here at Polis and was just asking yesterday someone about Dagesh Lene versus Dagesh Forte... and BaGaD-KaPHaT בגדכפת. Perfect timing... תודא רבה!

This is such a well organized video, the clear structure really makes the explanation memorable.

The streets are the ideas of the imagination. The houses are thoughts, the habitants are affections. I see the parents land in light. God is exiled from god itself. Thank for your video, Tim.

I have studied Hebrew primers and it's hard enough to write and even harder identify the similar letters that are above or below the (box). I tried to understand the dagesh, and all it's applications, I finally gave up since I couldn't understand. You nailed it, presenting it in an easy-to-understand format, though it is still difficult. Being bilingual myself (Spanish/English) and having studied Russian and German, it resonates especially with the plosive v. spirant but of course one thing is to intellectualize it, but another thing is to put it in context or actual use. I love learning Hebrew. But it's self-study I would love to learn conversational Hebrew, back in 5778 I visited Israel, and I fell in deeper love with both nation and people. Toda raba!

Thanks for all your hard work creating these videos. Really appreciate it.

Thank you so much. I wish you could upload as often as possible

You are the best teacher I've found so far! Thank you and God bless!

שלום אני מהודו. אני לומד עברית. ההוראה שלך ברורה ותרגום לאנגלית. YOur Videos are clear and concise. easy to understand.

Just thinking how grateful I am for your videos... excellent at that, on my knees praying for God's blessing for you and yours Tim McNinch

Marvellous! Love the sound of your voice. So relaxing. I'm getting a lot now. Thanks Tim.

Congratulations Tim. The best Hebrew instruction style I have encountered. I was engrossed and watched it twice. You have a real talent for language instruction - intelligent, clear, well structured and explained but never boring or verbose. You make a listener feel confident that they are getting correct information of a very good quality. Please keep making videos. We love them.

Eccellente lezione, Tim. Thanks a lot from Italy!

Thank you Tim Mcnich. You're simply the best.

Tim, you're making my M.Div Hebrew class 10x easier. Cannot thank you enough.

Hey Tim! I've been teaching myself Hebrew for the past 10 years or so. I feel that I have a lot of knowledge but I needed to organize it. Thanks to your videos I think I'm achieving it. This lesson and the binyanim lesson are my favorites so far. Thanks and keep it up! Shalom!

By far the best tutorials. Really enjoying your blackboard style, voiceover, speed, and animations. Keep it up! More Hebrew and Greek lessons! 😊

Your awesome in your teachings

I hope you do teach Biblical Hebrew :) your students must love your approach. great editing skills as well. please make more videos about more complicated stuff :) like נפעל when first אות of שורש is גרונית :)

It seems for me so complicated but I think I'll get it if I'll practice enough I love how you explained that ❤

Todah Todah Todah...:) Your teaching makes learning seem easy. Very well explained. Todah rabah!

Kindly, make more videos! It is very clear and makes great sense! THANK YOU

This video clarified so much for me! Thank you for such a well-presented, coherent lesson. Now, I know how to recognize the vowel sounds much faster.

Thank you very much. This is brilliant presentation. You're simply the best best. Please upload more.

Beautiful! Thank you for this.

Thank you TIM for your video making me some move. Shalom again. 👍👍👍👍

Thank you. Finding this so helpful

So comprehensively explained and yet, in such simplistic terms that you go away having learnt some profound truths. Keep up this fine work!

Thank you so much Tim, congratulations, you’re the best, seriously!

Great videos, Tim! You are an educator par excellence. I've been to lectures, self-thought by reading hebrew grammars, watching hebrew youtubes, yet none is as good as following yours. I've been watching your videos over & over again for memorization. Please do a complete Hebrew Grammar. God bless you!

beautiful method of teaching

I’ve just had that aha lightbulb moment! 🥳Thank you sooooo much this is going to help me out tremendously!! Love your teaching style! 😁

Happy Easter, brother Tim From Spain, Barcelona

Brilliantly taught, thanks a lot 😊😊😊

You really explained that so good. I'll be watching several times with pin and papper to take notes. Thank you very much.

love your work :) more! make mooooore!

The concept of the Dagesh is also in the Arabic Language, but it’s called “ shadda “ the name for dagesh in Arabic has a dagesh itself! It can also be found in Kurdish, when they double letters but they don’t substitue it with a symbol, we the Kurdish people used to have a dash on the doubles letter. It’s a very important part of both languages.

Wow this was a really great lesson. Thank you 😊

This is Fantastic, Love it Love it. Todah Rabah

In Begedkefet: Following consonants or sheva: dagesh qal Following vowels: dagesh Hazaq (doubling consonants)

Thank you very much for you explanation. I love them all your videos

Thank you so much, you are awesome!

Hello Tim , Thank-you so much for your lesson on dagesh. I appreciate your excellent pedagogy.:well structured, good memorisation tricks & tips, ample practice by repetition. Your tone of voice is zen and makes pleasant listening. However, I would have liked you to spell out the pronunciation for all the words of the 13 examples in the identification game. Am interested in the meaning and the sounds of each of these words. God bless you.

You omitted the dagesh compensative!

thank you the LORD bless you

Great teaching and appreciated Sridhar Devadoss India

Excellent and interesting presentation. I hv started to learn Hebrew. Ur lessons are very helpful. Thanks. English meaning along with Heb words wd be of further help. Blessings.

Fantastic. Very clear indeed. Gentle pace for slow learners like me :)

Since Modern Hebrew rules changed the pronunciation of the Hebrew letter Resh to sound something between a French and a German R, it was also decided that a Resh cannot be doubled. Mizrahim, who do roll the Resh, always double that letter when it comes with a Dagesh. Examples are recited on Rosh Hashanah eve: she'yirboo zachiyoteinu ca'RRubia (may our good deeds be numerous as black eyed peas), or Ca'RRimmon (as numerous as pomegranate seeds).

Shalom .amazing .

Great teaching. Thank you sir. (smile)

Very useful explanation. Thank you!

thank you so much just bearningl

Thanks, it's very useful. God Bless you

thanks you very much!!

Great lesson. Thanks.

Amazing work thank you very much

Thank you! it is perfectly clear.

As an explanation, Pei, Bet, Vav, Tav, and Kaf have dageshes for pronounciation as of Bet is Vet without a dagesh, Pei is Fei in its final form, and without the dagesh, Vav has 2 prononciations with the dagesh over and in the middle of the letter. Tav has a dagesh but has the same pronounciation, and Kaf is Khaf without the dagesh in the middle. So these letters consisting in this paragraph would never be able to double either as the 5 letters.

Thank you Tim

i love Hebrew!! Thank you!

זמן: 5:51 : בגלל שישנן אותיות שכיום רוב האנשים (חוץ מהתימנים) אינם מבדילים בהגיה בין הדגושה לרפה - לכן מסדרים את האותיות הדגשות במקום: 'בגד-כפת' (לפי סדר הא'-ב') בסידור אחר: 'בכפ-גדת' ( bakaf gadat )! (השלוש הראשונות - ששומעים את ההבדל והשלוש האחרונות - שאין שומעים את ההבדל!).

Thanks a lot.

#Thank you very much I am almost mastering hebrew letter the next is to communicate and find friend in israel.

The best! Thank you.

I like the test very much !

very well explained! thanks

Stellar!

thank you!

If the Dagesh is ignored in the letter מ, “Yamim” (days), and “Yammim” (seas) will sound the same. Mizrahim know that Dagesh has consequences, and they always pronounce it properly. Same for the ג (no Dagesh) and the גּ (with Dagesh). I also know a Mizrahi Ba’al Koreh who pronounces the feminine possessive הּ with a strong exhalation.

Bro please do more videos on Hebrew grammar...

Woaw, well teached ! Thxs

Thanks

Amazing!

😮Hello Mr. McMinch, Great videos...would you ever consider creating videos on the subjects of transliteration and syllabification?

Toda raba.

Thank you so much for the video, but at 5:32 you made a mistake. Dalet without qal dagesh isn't pronounced that way

so blessed...

תודה

You may know that each hebrew and arabic letter carries a meaning At 5:40 it's only about prononciation, while in arabic, the phone Dhe it's ذ with it's own meaning, different from D. The problem is that the meaning of the arabic ذ is found in the hebrew letter ז but not always, because the ז is also officially the arabic ز (z). Making etymologic investigations on semitic languages, it seems that anciant hebrew has lost various letters and pronunciation.

Delightful graphic

i think it is so important

Todah rabah

It's Very good

Mind blowing but useful

49:14 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens: Genesis

Hi Tim, I'm appreciating your lessons very much. But in case of dagesh lene I‘ve got a little confussing. i.e.: Genesis 1,2 ⬩ הָיְתָה תֹהוֹּ ... their is no dagesh lene in ת at תֹהוּ following the ה (consonant) from הָיְתָה. ??

אהחער means "I will complain."

J-2-LT U knw, ty x100. the tutorial m&G are lit...

I have a question about why you pronounced the sin as a shin in the first word. Just curious. Otherwise; great video! Do you/will you do any conversation?

Mother of god, forgive us.

Hi Tim, I am studying the Hebrew minyanim of verbs. What books do you recommend I use to make things easy?

Sorry I'm not a native english speaker, not sure which one is consonant. Can you tell more about that? Is that the first three dageshes only affect the sound of it, but the last dagesh that used in heh, it changes its meaning from "she" to "her"?

Request, please make a song about conjugation of the verb "To Want" (rötzéh)

I’m new to this, so are you saying that the vowels marks are not used, and the sounds are understood like in paleo/ancient Hebrew?
