+===== Review =====
+==== Last lesson we learned that.... ====
+  * Hebrew is written from Right to Left.
+  * There are 22 letters in the Hebrew Alef-Bet.
+  * Seven of the letters are called **double** letters because they make either **plosive** sounds (also called **stops**) or **fricative** sounds.  The plosive version of each is marked by a dot in the middle of the letter called a **dagesh**.  To remember these letters, say:  BiG'Dei KaPoReTh (<wrap :he>בִּגְדֵי־כַּפֹּרֶת</wrap>.)
+  * Five of the letters have final forms that are used only at the ends of words.
+  * There are many styles of writing, ranging from ancient pictographs, up through formal book print, calligraphy, block letter writing, and cursive.
+  * There are different regional/cultural traditions regarding how to say the names of the letters and how to pronounce their sounds, as well as different systems that are used to transcribe words from Hebrew into our Latin Alphabet.

 (And, yes, I'm sneaking a couple of actual words into these early Alphabet lessons, because we will need them in order to talk about Syllables and Vowels in upcoming lessons.)
