WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT

Sheva

Sheva is the two vertical dots beneath a letter: ְ. In some positions it is heard as a very short vowel; in others it does not receive an independent vowel sound. Real reading traditions and detailed rules matter, so the course does not pretend every sheva can be solved by one beginner slogan. The next slides use reviewed words to show dependable patterns.
