Description

Examples (back cards; two AnkiDroid 2.9, one Desktop 2.1; resized): Note: The "n[oun]" / "v[erb]" here are placeholders for a clickable input field (notice the slight underline). On the front site, that field is slightly above. Highlights: Cleaned up audio from Duolingo & (for the rest) Forvo Duolingo's is almost entirely in excellent quality, with little noise. For HfS, there are ~2 words each chapter (esp. after 2-06) which either did not have audio available on Forvo or (for verbs) required using something other than its infinite. For the Top deck, 40%/390 have none altogether but their Latin transcription instead. Most Forvo audio is in good quality, but some people thought it a brilliant idea to have loud fans close to their mic. The missing ones will probably stay so as there's barely any activity for Hebrew on the site.

roots, Duolingo keywords plus "Level##", for HfS chapters are given as "#-##" conjugations from Pealim in a compact table: Directly in the verb cards for ease of access. (Pealim often has additional info on the verbs, so it's still worth checking out.) Caveats: If you want to follow the HfS or Duolingo ordering, you'll need to either manually reset the card ordering or learn by tags, as Anki offers no option to remove my deck's state / reset on export. What you can do to permanently reorder: Install Advanced Browser, then sort accordingly in the Card Browser (e.g. by its new tag column), select the cards, reposition. See e.g. the manual for more.

What you can do to permanently reorder: Install Advanced Browser, then sort accordingly in the Card Browser (e.g. by its new tag column), select the cards, reposition. See e.g. the manual for more. The Duolingo deck had a bunch of entirely useless fields – some empty for all notes. Those are removed, with content (except the numbers from the "Thing" field) moved into the "Extended" field instead.

Annoyingly, the HfS texts regularly use a few words that are either introduced as vocab only in later chapters or left out altogether. I didn't always catch those.

verb infinitives marked with a "*" are just to signal that the note concerns the verb's passive, strictly speaking the infinitive belongs only to the active binyan

[Technical detail: In Unicode, the same letter+nikkud combination can sometimes be represented in different ways. This deck follows Anki 2.1's use of NFC-normalization for these combinations, which should also work with other clients. Other normalizations – from older software, etc. – may lead to search failures (e.g.: the Klein Dictionary fails with non-NFC nikkud; related issue: non-printable characters like the RTL mark).] Field explanation: Hebrew / English / Audio / Image : self-explanatory

Clean up the deck's HTML & CSS: Right now it's functional, but an organically grown mess.

As a vocab deck, grammar is limited to passing remarks.

Each vocab should come with at least one voiced example sentence. (Content from the two Anno decks could be used.)

Add the main English meaning as audio for better memory association.

Mark shorashim / verbs with irregular conjugations.

Change notes with passives to proper (present) forms.

Add tense tag to verb notes and cause it to open the proper one in the table. Please report any errors you find, given the deck's size there likely will be some. Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

But I am so into this deck that I've used it almost every day since download date!

Thanks a million! Comment from author before post was edited Hey, thanks for the review! Almost all of the example sentence pairs are taken from textbooks (so that they're verified ones, unlike reverso's). Since there aren't many such books available to me that really limits supply, and sometimes the only pairs are in the books' advanced sections. I cannot but thank you so infinitely for this hard work and enormous effort in setting up this deck for all of us. Personally, I am using it every day. Sometimes I would love to remember this so meticulously chosen vocabulary used in the example sentences, but of course, I need to sweat hard too, lol!But I am so into this deck that I've used it almost every day since download date!Thanks a million!

Great!

Comment from author I've finally added a support thread on the Anki forums (see "Contact Author" here), feel free to post/PM me there. Comprehensive! How can I get in contact with you? I have some ideas to improve this deck and would love to help

Comment from author Do you mean the main deck "Hebrew from Scratch" and its subdeck "אלף"? The latter is just for convenience if you want to learn the alphabet first, it has no other content and can be deleted otherwise. Awesome deck but it installs as two separate decks, is this normal?





One minor note: the example sentences for lasim le-__ regel are actually examples of lasim lev. Comment from author Thank you! It's fixed in today's version. Excellent use of established resources, and the information on cards is very comprehensive. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to brush up on their Hebrew vocab or (like me) pick it back up after a few years of minimal use.One minor note: the example sentences for lasim le-__ regel are actually examples of lasim lev.





Does anyone know how to code up the Shoresh part where one can get each letter separately? I'm trying to edit the card type such that clicking the shoresh gets to the list of words with that shoresh, like the following page:

https://www.pealim.com/dict/?pos=all&num-radicals=all&rf=%D7%9C&r2=%D7%91&r2=%D7%97&r1=%D7%A0









-------------------------------------



This is the best thing that can happen to anyone trying to learn Hebrew. Binyan and gender color coding, irregulars, prep. that go with the verbs, example sentences, audio... There really isn't anything more to ask.



The mess that grew organically is real but who cares. I would pay for this deck and I don't usually even pay for apps. Thanks for making such a thoughtful, high-quality deck! Comment from author Thanks for reviewing! I've added some code that should do that for pealim.



If you [re]import today's version (and assuming Anki actually overwrites my _hebrew.js script), the pealim link now comes overloaded, single-click opens the link as as before and double-click now leads to the shoresh table (for notes that actually have one in my #־#־… format). Tested on Anki desktop and AnkiDroid.



The timeout for double-clicking is set to 444ms, if that's too fast you can edit the value in the file.

Comment from author Thanks! I've added some details to better explain the card structure in the last update. Dunno if it's enough, so feel free to ask any remaining questions. As for the script I've used to pull pealim (& generate the inflection tables), I don't really want to share it so the pealim people don't end up changing their site against it (also: it's horrible spaghetti code). Again, you can just leave words you'd like added, and I'll do so. Very, very useful and well done. The only way to make it even more useful is to enable others to produce similar cards. For the moment, at least for me, the card template is too complicated to use it to produce similar cards with words that interest me.





The only thing I don't understand is how Anki ignores vowel points in this collection - I can't make the same effect in other collections I have and would like to use with the "type" field. A small hint from the author would be highly appreciated! Comment from author Thanks. The vowels are actually not directly stripped by Anki itself but by a small script that's on the front of the IvtEng card type.



However, the algorithm behind the type fields is fixed code on mobile so I'm afraid I can't help there, but if you're using Anki desktop, you can now install this addon: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/802290172



Still: Anki's author says the underlying code is due for a rewrite, so it may break in the foreseeable future. The best collection ever, exactly what I would have made for myself, very carefully designed and filled.The only thing I don't understand is how Anki ignores vowel points in this collection - I can't make the same effect in other collections I have and would like to use with the "type" field.

--- Is there a github page or something to discuss the deck or ask questions / suggest changes / fixes? Comment from author Thanks for the feedback, it's nice to read that others actually consider this deck useful.



As for a changelog: I will add a note when there are changes to the design itself. Otherwise updates are mostly additional example sentences, or occasionally fixes to spelling/nikkud (about a handful as of now), audio cleanups, a new word, etc.



You can see these affected notes in the card browser (Anki desktop): click on the "Edited" column to sort by it (there may seem to be more changes than actually present as the date also updates when I mark a note without then actually changing it). The number of real edits to look for should be mentioned in Anki's import report.



*e:* I've finally added a support thread on the Anki forums (see "Contact Author" here), feel free to post/PM me there. Big upgrade from the original anki/memrise duolingo decks. Very nice. I especially like the verb conjugations and noun declinations(?) that have been included. The extra recordings are appreciated. Adding in the nikkudim is great. Can you make a 'change log' or something, so we know when there have been significant updates? Thanks for all the work!--- Is there a github page or something to discuss the deck or ask questions / suggest changes / fixes?
