[HANASHIR:3339] Re: Ten Lo Mishelo pronounciation

[HazzAnne <HazzAnne...>]

Hi - my conversational Hebrew teacher thinks we should "get over it" in terms 
of classical pronunciation in modern Hebrew songs, even those based on 
classical texts.  However, I always found it interesting that her tzeireh 
(without the yud) and segol were pronounced very much the same, but it was 
obvious from careful listening and observation I also noticed that she made 
vowel sounds in a different place in her mouth and also that she couldn't 
hear the difference the way we can, we westerners who are so used to 
diphthongs.

So, we'll all just have to get along - right!!!

Shabbat Shalom

Anne
