I find Hebrew much easier to read (well, no surprise since I learnt to read/write it when I was 5 years old) but having
not grown up in Israel I still find handwritten Hebrew rather difficult to decipher. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I would like to better my Hebrew one day to get to a point where I can participate in a
conversation. I haven't ever actually stopped studying it, but my reading is very slow even with nikud. The only things I can read without sounding like a barely literate child sounding out words are the most common prayers read in shul. I can read the Sh'ma with Ve'ahavtah, Adon Olam, the basic birkhot for various things (handwashing, candlelighting, hamotzi, etc.) without any trouble because I kind of already know the words anyway. But anything else, I need nikkud and it's sssslllloooowwww. I think that coupled with the fact that, outside of a religious context, I don't have any contact with Hebrew are the main discouraging factors for me. These challenges are greater than the difficulties of the language itself. 1 person has voted this message useful |
