In this lesson, you will learn the final four letters of the Hebrew alphabet: Qof, Resh, Shin/Sin, and Tav. With these four letters, you will have learned all 22 letters of the Hebrew alef-bet!
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Name | Qof (קוֹף) |

Qof makes a "k" sound that is identical to Kaf (כּ) in modern Israeli Hebrew. Historically, Qof was a deeper, uvular "k" sound — and this distinction is still preserved in some Mizrachi pronunciations.
קָטָן (katan) — small
קוֹל (kol) — voice
קָפֶה (kafe) — coffee
| Letter | Feature |

| ק (Qof) | Has a descending stroke on the left that goes below the baseline |
| כ (Kaf) | Sits entirely on the baseline |
Tip: Qof goes down (queue descending); Kaf stays compact.
