More New Letters
This week, the letter ב (vet) will be our focus. Just like several other Hebrew letters, vet is a fraternal twin! Yep, ב (vet) is בּ (bet)'s twin. It is very easy to tell they are in the same family because the only difference is that vet has no belly button. A great way to remember the difference, is to say:
A בּ (bet) WITHOUT a bellybutton is a ב (vet).
In the past few weeks Mechina has also learned the letters
כ (chaf) and ר (reish).
- כ (chaf) is a fraternal twin to the letter כּ (kaf). כ makes a "ch" sound, think of l'CHaim. The sound is created at the back of the throat.
- ר (reish) makes a "r" sound and has a round roof. The fact that its roof is round will be important later on.
