learn writing Hebrew script vs block letters
Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2021 7:56 pm
I am assistant-teaching a basic Biblical Hebrew class.
The curriculum teaches the students to write the Hebrew block letters, slightly simplified.
The students have a hard time making bets that are distinguishable from kaf's; reshes from dalets and final kafs; etc.
I never learned to write the block letters.
In Hebrew school they just taught us to write script.
And my mind had no problem relating the script to the block letters (except that I can't remember final fei and final tsade in script).
I was wondering if it would be better to teach people to write script.
It is much faster to write, and you can be much less careful in writing because the letters are much more differentiated.
My questions are:
Are children in Israel taught to write block letters?
When a person emigrates to Israel, not knowing Hebrew, are they taught to write block letters?
Is it different depending if they are old or young?
Thanks.
