The letters look totally different, but there are certain similar sounds like English, like the B/V sound, D, F/P, G, H, I/Y, K, L, M, N, R, S, SH, T<BR/>There are few letters/sounds that don't exist in English.<BR/><BR/>Here's how to spell Domino in Hebrew: <B>דומינו</B><BR/><BR/>You read "backwards" right to left.

You should have a blast and keep inspiring others!<BR/><BR/>There are vowels in Hebrew. ie. there's the Chirik with the (ee) sound. (It's a dot underneath a letter)<BR/>Or the Patak with the (ah) sound. (That's a line underneath)<BR/><BR/>Many times you will see words written w/o vowels b/c once you're familiar with the vocab and you know the context, you'll know how words are usu. pronounced. <BR/><BR/>I hope I explained it ok.Cilantrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293358461490145982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987803100430151978.post-24740562600738944542009-02-01T13:13:00.000+02:002009-02-01T13:13:00.000+02:00Chaya, what a great article.
