StoryHebrew is designed for true beginners. Every Hebrew word shows its English translation, transliteration (pronunciation in Latin letters), and grammatical role. You can start reading real sentences from your first session and pick up the letters as you go.
Beginner stories are 8–15 sentences, enough for a 5-minute session. Tap any word you do not know. Native audio plays with the text, so you hear how the sentence sounds while you read it.
The alphabet has 22 letters and 5 final forms. You do not have to master them before you read. Use the interactive chart when you want focused letter practice, then go back to a story so the shapes stick in context.
Mark words as new, recognized, or learned as you read. Your vocabulary list grows with every story, which is a clearer measure of progress than finishing a streak of drills.
