Many names you know, perhaps even your name, originate from a Hebrew name. These names hold a secret on how we can learn Hebrew. E-Vreet has chosen 12 names that have Hebrew origin and will use these names to reveal this secret to you by means of the Hebrew Morph.

How does the Hebrew Morph work?

By morphing English names that you know into Hebrew, you can start to see how Hebrew letters work to spell out a name that you already know. You'll experience the process of transforming an English name into Hebrew. The Hebrew Morph uncovers just how Hebrew is different than English in a step by step process that slowly changes before your eyes.

Exercises to help you learn new words in Hebrew

1. FIND THE NAME: The Hebrew Morph is just part of the process. Once the name has been morphed into Hebrew letters, your mission is to find that name in three Hebrew scriptures. You watched the word morph into Hebrew which made a distinct impression, so the letters are in your short-term memory. Through the activity of searching for the word in the verse, the Hebrew word can move into your long-term memory.

2. FIND THE WORD: Then you will learn what Hebrew words are hidden in the name. Knowing words are the first steps in learning a language. They are the first meaningful units. When something has meaning, it is easier to remember. Now you will look for these words in selected scripture verses. The scriptures will also help you see what these words mean in context.

3. USE THE WORD: Towards the end of the course, you will put some of the words together to make simple sentences. You will also learn about Hebrew words that are always attached to Hebrew root words.

4. QUIZZES: There are quizzes after every unit to reinforce what you have learned and also applied what you have learned to new words. There is also a Final Review and Final Exam.

Structure of the PDF files

Why is the music so important?

The carefully selected music relaxes yet stimulates your brain to learn. As the Hebrew letters form words, the language center of the brain is activated to recognize groups of Hebrew letters as meaningful units.

Why does the English translation of the verses have so many hyphens?
