WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
Bet
Bet has two familiar readings in the course's default pronunciation. With a dot inside it, בּ, it is generally read b. Without that dot, ב, it is generally read v. The dot itself will be studied separately; for now, learn the base shape and notice that the same written letter can appear with or without the internal dot.
