first grad school assignment

You see, Children, learning your ABC's is very important.


This was for Hebrew.

Don't worry, we're getting our money's worth, the same week we also had to memorize (for the quiz):

-- the Hebrew alphabet, including the six letters with alternate forms, the letters that may or may not take a Daghesh Lene, the four gutturals, and the letter that sometimes is a guttural
-- the elaborate system of dots used to indicate vowel sounds (because the Hebrew alphabet doesn't have vowels)
-- the consonants that can sometimes be used as vowels, depending on what comes before them

And this week we memorized all the noun endings, plus fifty vocab words.
