*** Now talking in #IsraeliCafe
*** AlyzaCCC changes topic to "Hebrew 101: Lesson 3 review
chat"
*** Ruth has joined #IsraeliCafe
AlyzaCCC: Shalom Ruth!
Ruth: Shalom
Ruth: There is a thunderstorm approaching. I may not be able to stay
AlyzaCCC: oooh, bummer
AlyzaCCC: Today is just review anyhow, nothing at all is new
AlyzaCCC: you know the lesson 4 web page has the letters,
vowels, and part A vocab?
Ruth: I looked at Lesson 4 a little earlier today
AlyzaCCC: okay. Be sure to look at it again before Tuesday
:-)
Ruth: ok
Ruth: I really like that feature where you can listen to
the pronunciation.
AlyzaCCC: I think it helps, especially with so many
regional accents where the written transliteration can be
misunderstood
AlyzaCCC: Glad you like it :-)
Ruth: Yes, esp. for me who has never been exposed to Hebrew before.
Ruth: :)
AlyzaCCC: I have .wav files made for the entire lesson, but
I have not finished typing the vocab for the other
sections of the lesson
AlyzaCCC: :-)

teacher of Ruth."
AlyzaCCC: tov maod!
* AlyzaCCC is really proud of your progress Ruth
Ruth: I have a question please.
Ruth: :)
AlyzaCCC: sure, ga
Ruth: If I were to say "the teacher" would it be hamorah or
ha morah?
Ruth: in other words is there a space?
AlyzaCCC: you mean, is there a break in the flow, or how is
it transliterated?
AlyzaCCC: No space in Hebrew
AlyzaCCC: in english, sometimes it is written ha-morah,
sometimes hamorah
Ruth: ok, I meant to ask when I emailed you. I think I may
have put a space in that.
Ruth: thanks.
AlyzaCCC: with ha-morah it is easier to separate the prefix
from the word, and see what is being said
AlyzaCCC: most welcome
