However, it never makes the "SH" sound in "shipwreck". You'll only find Nun in the beginning or middle of a letter, and you'll only find Nun Sofit at the end. Nun and Nun Sofit are pronounced like the "N" in "November". Mem Sofit looks like Mem, only it is closed off at the bottom, and looks more boxy. Once again, these are actually the same letter, but they have a different version at the end of a word. Lamed makes the "L" sound, as in "lightning". It will all become as clear as your first alphabet after some practise. Although it seems confusing at first, just keep practising. Kaf Sofit is pronounced the same as Kaf, but is also only at the end of a word. Chaf Sofit is pronounced the same as Chaf, but it comes at the end of a word. Chaf is pronounced just like Chet, and Kaf is pronounced like the "C" in "cow". Although it may seem like four different letters, it's all actually the same letter. This is one of the more confusing letters. Most of the time when this letter is in the middle of a word, it is pronounced more like "EE" than "Y". Sometimes, it is softened into the sound of "EE", as in "Greek".

This letter sounds like the "Y" in "you". It can never make the "TH" sound as in "thicket".

Remember, Chet never makes the "CH" sound as in "chewy". It is a softer version of the noise you get from that. If those examples still aren't helping you hear the Chet, try growling in the back of your throat. It sounds almost as if you're hacking on something in your throat, or gargling without water. Chet is one of the more well known letters in Hebrew. This letter is pronounced just like the "Z" in "crazy". Vav makes the same sound as Vet, but is a different letter. It never makes the "CH" sound as in "chewy", and is often put at the end of a word as an ending, just like how Aleph is added to the end of a word sometimes. Hey makes the "H" sound, as in the "H" in "hey". Like all other letters in the Alphabet, it needs a vowel added to have a pronunciation. As it may be easy to guess, Dalet makes the "D" sound. Although, a gimmel with a flick or apostrophe (') is a 'giraffe' gimmel. Keep this is mind while pronouncing it in a word. However, it never has the "G" sound as in "giraffe". Because Bet and Vet are essentially the same letter, this is the third letter in the Hebrew Alphabet. Vet makes the "V" sound, but needs a vowel to actually be read. Bet makes the "B" sound, but doesn't actually have a pronunciation until a vowel is added. Although these letters seem different because of their two different sounds, they are actually considered the same letter. Think of it like the letter "E" in the English alphabet it is at the end of a lot of words, but it's silent. It will often be found at the end of a word, making no sound. This is because it has no sound! In order to make it have a sound, one needs to put a vowel with it. This is possibly the easiest letter of the alphabet to learn. Here are all of the letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, in order

If you try to pronounce them, it will be like pronouncing consonants of the English alphabet. Keep in mind that none of these letters are possible to pronounce because they are consonants.

The Hebrew Alphabet has twenty-two letters, and five of them appear different at the end of a word.
