Romanization of Hebrew

Romanization of Hebrew is a way of changing Hebrew writing into a version that can be read and written using the alphabet of a different language, such as English. When you romanize Hebrew, you are writing words with different letters. This is helpful because it makes it easier to learn the language or communicate with people who only speak English. For example, the Hebrew word 'Shalom' is romanized as 'shalom'. That way, people can say and write the same word, even if they don't speak Hebrew.
