Hebrew Helpful Phrases

The letters kh make a sound existing in many languages but not in English, kh or ch in Scottish loch and Chanukah. Or like the Spanish jota. Remember Hebrew starts from right to left, so if you try to read the Hebrew script, start from the right! But you can read the Hebrew pronunciation the same way you read English! There is also the h which is pronounced as a sharp h.
