* Pronunciation symbols (Nekudot) are not usually present in Modern Hebrew texts. They are mostly printed in Biblical scriptures. Therefore, in Hebrew, it's crucial to remember the correct pronunciation of each word. Some coursebooks include these pronunciation symbols to facilitate learning, however, this causes confusion in real life for foreign students. To prevent such confusion and prepare the students to reading and writing Hebrew without a hassle, in this book all Hebrew words are given without the Nekudot, except for those that require the use of these symbols for grammatical reasons.
To provide students with a more convenient and practical approach, in this book all Hebrew words are transliterated. The English transliteration shows the correct pronunciation of each word.
