We have officially learned the most famous letter in the Aleph-Bet, א (aleph). Aleph is different from the other letters we have learned because...א is silent unless it has a vowel. NO VOWEL= NO SOUND. Here are some very important and interesting א words.
Red Ah-dom אדום
Lion Ar-yeh אריה
Mom E-mah אמא
Dad Ah-ba אבּא
Food Oh-chel אכל
Spring Ah-vev אביב
Letter (in a word) Oh-t אות
VAV
Vav makes a "v" sound, and looks like a ורד (vered:rose) It has a bud on the top and a thin stem. . Be careful, lots of people think it's a reish. You have to look for a short top on ו (vav).The following are the ו (vav) words that we learned this week.
Pink Va-roh-d ורוד
Forever Va-ed ועד
Curtain Ve-lon וילון
Rose Veh-red ורד
