The English word comprehension is a fancy word for understanding. In Hebrew, the word הבנה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/הבנת-הנקרא-#.m4a” /] works for both, as in:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/הבנת-הנקרא-#.m4a” /]היא מפגינה הבנה מעמיקה בנושא.
She displays deep understanding/comprehension of the topic.
Reading comprehension is הבנת הנקרא[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/הבנת-הנקרא-#.m4a” /] – literally, understanding of that which is read. Likewise, הבנת הנשמע[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/הבנת-הנקרא-#.m4a” /] is listening comprehension – or understanding of that which is heard.
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/הבנת-הנקרא-#.m4a” /]כשלומדים שפה חדשה, הבנת הנשמע לא פחות חשובה מהבנת הנקרא.
When learning a new language, listening comprehension is no less important than reading comprehension.
