    Well I got 85 % so I’m happy with that for now. Some of the words sound so similar and so I thought I was hearing the same word again on the quiz, took me a good while going back and forth through tabs. 😁

    I have tried working with workbooks only to be frustrated. I have looked at a lot of different courses online and what convince me to take this course is you, Richard. you are Deaf like I am and I noticed in the intro that English captions were used to follow along. I am happy to find a course that actually keeps Deaf people in mind. Looking forward to starting this course!

    In the last lesson I did Lesson 1-3, the Hebrew word for gift shows the emphasis of the vowel in yellow as Matana is that the modern Hebrew spelling of the original Hebrew word?

    I ask this is because I am deaf, and do have one hearing aid, but it only helps me to hear sounds when I am directly blue toothed to a device to get the full sound. I grew up speaking phonetically which you can imagine I get pronunciation of English words messed up at times. Those who know me well know exactly what I am saying. I have a huge vocabulary of words and much I struggle to pronounce due to not having a phonetically way of seeing it. I am a vicarious reader and have a love for words.

    As stated in the video is about looking for patterns in the words themselves and then associating a picture with them. I am a visual learner and not auditory. The way the word for gift is spelled with English letters (modern Hebrew?) makes total sense to me when it comes to the pronunciation of the Original Hebrew word?

    Trying not to overcomplicate it. So far, the way you teach it makes much more sense to me than English. Go Figure.

    I purposely go through each lesson 3 times before moving on.

    I was just curious if the words you write next to the Original Hebrew word has what it means as well as the English letter writing (modern Hebrew?)

    Attached photo of word I am referencing. Original Hebrew Word – Meaning – Matana (is this the modern Hebrew word?)
