Tonight I started a discovery course of Hebrew. Just for me

I checked the alphabet
Similar system of consonants and strong vowels on which you append unwritten short vowels

Then I went on with the words that are close to Arabic, which I started to learn 20 years ago (not seriously enough): I still remember though how to pronounce most of arabic letters, and remember some vocabulary

I post my "course", because I recognize many of the words: THREAD will be LONG
