Read Hebrew

Although YANSHUF newspapers are written in easy to read hebrew, and each issue of the newspaper comes with a Hebrew-English dictionary for the harder words in that issue, there are other common and basic Hebrew words and phrases that are used on a regular basis, and are therefore not  included in these dictionaries.

In order to further help our readers, we have compiled a list of prepositions, conjunctions, common phrases and other words that are used often in both spoken and written Hebrew.

Are there other such words that you would like us to add to this list? Simply let us know!
