When you read a Hebrew book, you open the rightmost page and flip pages until you get to the leftmost page (just the opposite of an English book). Hebrew is written and read from right to left, rather than left to right as in English.
Today, vowel marks are used to facilitate learning the language: Hebrew is normally written without vowel letters (though four letters: "Aleph," "Hey," "Vav," and "Yod" are also used as vowels in modern Hebrew today). There are 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, with five letters having additional " final forms" when they appear at the end of a word. If you are entirely new to the study of Hebrew, the following information will acquaint you with some of the basic features of this fascinating language.
