Hebrew Alphabet And Letters 

The Hebrew alphabet consists of 22 letters, and they are all consonants. Some of the letters have final forms, which are used when the letter appears at the end of a word. Here is the full list of the Hebrew alphabet along with their names and approximate English pronunciation:

1. א – Aleph (silent or glottal stop)
2. ב – Bet (b as in boy)
3. ג – Gimel (g as in go)
4. ד – Dalet (d as in door)
5. ה – He (h as in house)
6. ו – Vav (v as in vine or w in classical Hebrew; also used as a vowel)
7. ז – Zayin (z as in zebra)
8. ח – Chet (ch as in the German Bach or Scottish loch, a guttural sound)
9. ט – Tet (t as in time)
10. י – Yod (y as in yes or i as a vowel)
11. כ – Kaf (k as in kite; final form: ך)
12. ל – Lamed (l as in lion)
13. מ – Mem (m as in mother; final form: ם)
14. נ – Nun (n as in nose; final form: ן)
15. ס – Samekh (s as in sun)
16. ע – Ayin (silent or glottal stop)
17. פ – Pe (p as in pot; final form: ף)
18. צ – Tsade (ts as in cats; final form: ץ)
19. ק – Qof (k as in king but more guttural, similar to a q sound)
20. ר – Resh (r as in run, typically rolled or guttural in some dialects)
21. ש – Shin (sh as in ship)
22. ת – Tav (t as in tall)

Final forms are used when the letter appears at the end of a word.  These are ך (Kaf), ם (Mem), ן (Nun), ף (Pe), and ץ (Tsade).

The Hebrew script is written from right to left, and vowels are indicated by diacritical marks (called nikkud) placed below, above, or inside the letters but are often omitted in everyday writing.

In Hebrew, there are a few letters that may appear similar in shape, especially to someone not familiar with the alphabet. Here are some of the Hebrew letters that might be confusing due to their visual similarity:

1. ב (Bet) and כ (Kaf) – Both have a similar shape, but Bet has a flat bottom, and Kaf is more rounded.

2. ו (Vav) and ז (Zayin) – These are both vertical lines, but Zayin has a small “hatch” or stroke on top, while Vav does not.

3. ח (Chet) and ה (Hey) – Chet is closed on all sides, while Hey has an opening on the left.

4. ט (Tet) and צ (Tzadi) – These can be confusing as both have curved elements, though their overall shapes differ.

5. ס (Samekh) and מ (Mem) – Both are circular or enclosed, but Samekh is more rounded, while Mem has a squarer shape.

Each letter has a distinct pronunciation and use, but these visual similarities can sometimes cause confusion when reading.
