Alright, so you want to learn the Hebrew alphabet.  

Let’s do it. 

Also, if you want to learn and speak Hebrew with lessons by real teachers… 

...then I recommend H

We’ll do this in under 1 hour​… but under a few conditions from me. 

1. You actually try. 


2. You don’t aim for perfection. ​(You’ll perfect ‘em all once you start reading 
and writing.) 
3. You skip the slow one character-at-a-time tutorials. Pick up a pen and 
paper. 
4. You i​ mmediately ​jump into reading and writing right after. Otherwise, you’ll 
forget it as fast as you’ve learned it. 
5. You accept the fact that you have to read from right to left.

Cool? 

We’re going to learn the Hebrew Alphabet, or the Alef Bet, together in under 1 
hour.​Will it be slow and awkward at first? Of course; just like your first kiss. But 
that’s how all learning goes. 

This tutorial will comprise of a few steps. 

1. Have a sheet of all the Hebrew characters displayed for easy reference. 
2. Separate the English versions first into groups. 
3. Memorize these groups 
4. Associate them with the Hebrew characters 
5. Write them out. 
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for all groups. 

1. The Alef Bet Chart that you must cherish and refer to in your beginner times. 

There are 22 characters below, and for now, we’ll skip the vowels and specific 
rules and exceptions. Those will come later and will be m
​ uch easier ​if you master 
the first 22 characters. 

Here is the print version.

And here’s the written version.​ We’re going to follow the written way. N
​ ote the 
arrows to help you understand how to write each character. See the first letter of 
the Hebrew alphabet, Alef, and the arrows and numbers to guide your writing? 
Just follow in that order and it will be easy.

2. Separate these 22 characters into 5 groups. 

Just the names of the characters. 

1. Alef, Bet, Gimel, Dalet 


2. Hey, Vav, Zain, Chet 
3. Tet, Yud, Kaf, Lamed 
4. Mem, Nun, Samech, Ain, Pe 
5. Tzadik, Kof, Resh, Shin, Tav 

All separated. For now, lets focus on the first 3 groups for the sake of simplicity. 

3.1. Memorizing the first 3 groups ​(Time: 5 minutes max) 

So, going group by group, starting with the first one, you’re going to memorize 
JUST the English versions (names of the characters). 

● Sit down, take the first 3 groups and memorize them. We’ll do the first 3 
for the sake of simplicity. 
● Say them out loud. Close your eyes. Write them down. This will take you a 
minute or three at most. 

Quick test:​ Can you repeat these 12 character names without looking at this 
page? Yes? Good. Now, lets line them up with their Hebrew characters. 

4.1. Associate the first 3 groups with their Hebrew characters. (​Time: 3-5 
minutes​) 

You’ll need a paper & pencil for this. ​(Did you expect reading articles alone would 
work?) A​ nd this should take maybe 3-5 minutes. 

● So, write down the names of the characters. And leave a space for the 
Hebrew one.  I also include their sounds/pronunciation in parenthesis 
to ease you into reading them.

● Done?​ Use the chart above to see the stroke order and write the character 
along side. ​Forget perfection. ​We’ll get to that later. 

5.1. Write them out. (​Time: 20 minutes if not less​) 

Now that you’ve acquainted yourself with the character strokes, it’s time to write 
them all out. Just the first 3 groups that you’ve memorized. 

1. Write the names of the characters down one side of your notebook.

2. And practice writing each character across the sheet. 


3. Will it be messy? Oh yeah! Gotta learn somehow! 

This first half should take you 30 minutes if not less.​ Most of the time would go 
into writing these characters out, I assume. 

Before we proceed to part 2 and the next groups, 4 & 5, make sure to take some 
time to quickly drill quiz yourself on the newly learned characters. 

1. Remember all 12 character names & their English sounds, write them 
down on the left side of the paper as I’ve done above. 
2. Then, for review, write in the Hebrew characters too. 

Done?​​ ​Let’s move onto Part 2 – The final 2 groups – and repeat Steps 3-5.

3.2. Memorizing the next 2 groups ​(Time: 5 minutes max)

● Group 5: Tzadik, Kof, Resh, Shin, Tav

reading them.

​ orget perfection. ​We’ll get to that later.

This second half should take you 30 minutes if not less. 

Thus, this totals to an hour or less, depending on how fast you pick up these 
characters. Flashcards, learning games, trivialities and perfection aside… w
​ riting 
out characters again and again is the fastest way​ to get the Hebrew Alphabet in 
your head. 

What’s next? 

● Mastering Hebrew vowels. 


● Writing & Reading basic words. 
● And practicing these characters some more.
