Introduction
This orientation kit provides Hebrew translations using both text in Hebrew and phonetic
pronunciation, so that those of you, who don't yet know the Hebrew alphabet, can read
and pronounce the words.
The audio recordings further guide you with proper pronunciation of the Hebrew text
providing additional confidence.
In most cases the phonetic pronunciation is straight-forward, however it is worth
mentioning the following:
We chose the phonetic "KH" to imitate the sound CH
as in Scottish "LOCH".
Ulpan-Or Rules
The following rules are part of our unique RLA – Rapid Language Acquisition
method, which we have developed after many years of research. Please adhere to
these rules to achieve best results during your learning process.
1. Listen to your assignments on the CDs three times a day.
CD tracks are listed on the respective pages.
2. Read the assigned texts at least once a day.
3. Practice Ulpan-Or Flash Cards.
4. In order to properly practice various translated texts and
dialogues in this book, first listen to them several times on the CD.
Then cover the Hebrew portion, read the English portion and translate into
Hebrew aloud. In addition, you can translate from Hebrew into English and
check yourself with the book and the CD.
5. Repeat your affirmation statement twelve times a day.
6. * If you are participating in our GDL (Guided Distance Learning)
program, you must make an effort to be present in all of the
scheduled tele-lessons with your teacher.
* In our experience, if you speak with your guiding teacher
regularly, the progress will be outstanding.

Affirmation Statement
I enjoy studying Hebrew.
I understand and speak Hebrew
easily and fluently.
I progress rapidly in Hebrew.
Please repeat this statement when relaxed, as many times a day as possible.
Repeating this statement will condition your mind to overcome any barrier in studying
Hebrew and will facilitate the studying process tremendously.
Below is the Hebrew version of the affirmation statement. You will soon
be able to read and say it in Hebrew.

Unit 3 – Numbers (0-10) and Money
Introduction to Numbers in Hebrew
During your trip, from time to time, you will have to buy lunch on your
own.
To do so you will need a few basic elements:
 To know numbers
 To know how to ask for something
 To know to ask "how much is it?"
 To know how to thank people
In Hebrew the numbers have different masculine and feminine forms.
In Israel most people do not pay accurate attention to the numbers and
mostly use just the numbers in feminine form.
For counting we use the feminine form.
The numbers in the following chart are presented in feminine.
In order to avoid confusion, masculine form is shown just for numbers
1, 2 and is omitted for the rest.
