Can someone help on this? I some times find it difficult to sound out the letters correctly as per Bardon for example the Ch sound, is it a guttural sound like some of the Hebrews and Germans do from the back of their throat or Ch as in chance ? Tzaddi is apparently Cz as in Czar and Sh or Sch can sound like Sh as I understand it. It appears to me that the Yud is a J sound as in John and the I is I as in machine . I think the Y in the word Young is a soft Yud or J ! ? In Bardon/Hermetic sounds is there a Th sound with a note and color ? The Hebrew Hei and Chet sure sound similar to me except the Chet is harder (raspy) and from the back of throat. Sincerely, Robert [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
