This fun Friday evening, I'm making (my wife is gluing for me right now) my second batch of Hebrew cards. For the update, I've learned all the consonants, now I have to learn all the vowel marks (making those flash cards right now) and tomorrow starts the 10 vocab words a day. Luckily they sell us a set of the first 1000 words we have to learn, so I'm set for a long time after finishing the set tonight.
Unlike the English alphabet, there is a different vowel mark for every vowel sound. Thus I have 24 vowels to learn tonight, not 5 1/2 like English.
Good luck me.
I bought a Hebrew Bible yesterday, so if you want to see what anything from the Old Testament looks like in Hebrew, and if you'll give me a minute or two, sounds like in Hebrew, just let me know.

So, I'll take you up on your offer. The footnote for Genesis 2:23 (NIV) on BibleGateway.com says:
"The Hebrew for woman sounds like the Hebrew for man."
How so? Can you illustrate this for me? Specifically, I guess I'm just looking for the phonetic representation of both words.
