Hopefully this image is ridiculous enough to be memorable.

This kind of solution works well, but the first method I mentioned, which uses Roots and Patterns, is even better and works universally. It relies on deep connections between words in Hebrew that are fundamental to the language, so it naturally works better. After we learn it, it will make it so that the more vocabulary we know, the easier learning vocabulary becomes.

But for now, creating these associations and finding ways to strengthen them like AI-generated images is a very effective tool as well. 

Study Process Recommendations

The next page includes our first vocabulary sheet. You can use it however you like, but I strongly recommend doing the following:

1. Try memorizing the vocabulary along with the relevant notes. 

An effective learning technique is self-testing, where after learning new words (using the above method of association or any other that works for you), you would cover over the English for each Hebrew word so you can only see the Hebrew, and see if you can remember what the Hebrew word means, starting over from the beginning of the table whenever you get something wrong. After doing that successfully for all words, switch to covering the Hebrew and seeing if you can remember it from looking at its English meaning. If it helps, feel free to print out the vocabulary document.

That said, feel free to experiment with different studying methods and see what works best for you.

2. After studying the words once, do the exercise for the lesson.
Most lessons (starting from lesson 1-4) will have exercises, listed as optional or otherwise, involving forming sentences with the lesson’s vocabulary. When filling in the exercise sheet, don’t look at the vocabulary sheet at all, and guess words or leave blanks if you’re not sure. This is important because it forces you to practice retrieving the information and trying to use it yourself, as opposed to practicing looking at the sheet.

3. Only after you’re done filling in the exercise sheet, go back and correct your work using the vocabulary sheet while following along the sheet to fill in blanks, and then compare your answers to the answer sheet and make sure you understand why the answer is what it is. If you don’t understand why a certain answer is a certain way, feel free to email me and I’ll gladly help you out.
