I think what you mean is, "how do you read Modern Hebrew without vowels". (You can't pronounce any words without vowels).Hebrew is a consonant-based language, just like all Semitic languages. The words are fairly easy to read without vowels, because there are only a limited number of patterns that form words. When a Hebrew reader sees a word in context, they mentally supply the vowels without even realizing it.It can be done in English too, though not as easily, since English is not a consonant-based language.For example:Rchrd cn rd Hbrw wtht vwls.
