STEP 1: Learn the Consonants



Begin your journey by learning the Hebrew alphabet. There are just 22 consonants, and five of them have their final forms (or sofits). 



There is no reason why you are unable to learn the Hebrew alphabet. There are only 22 consonants (and five sofits). So, if you learn five letters a day, you can finish learning the Hebrew alphabet in just one week.

After that you, need to look at the text and familiarise yourself with the alphabet. Here is one example from Jonah 1:1-3: 

‏ וַיְהִי דְּבַר־יְהוָה אֶל־יוֹנָה בֶן־אֲמִתַּי לֵאמֹר׃
‎‏ קוּם לֵךְ אֶל־נִינְוֵה הָעִיר הַגְּדוֹלָה וּקְרָא עָלֶיהָ כִּי־עָלְתָה רָעָתָם לְפָנָי׃
‏ וַיָּקָם יוֹנָה לִבְרֹחַ תַּרְשִׁישָׁה מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיֵּרֶד יָפוֹ וַיִּמְצָא אָנִיָּה בָּאָה תַרְשִׁישׁ וַיִּתֵּן שְׂכָרָהּ וַיֵּרֶד בָּהּ לָבוֹא עִמָּהֶם תַּרְשִׁישָׁה מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה׃
