בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים
Beit/Resh/Aleph/Shin/Yod/Tav
-Bersheet

You read ahead I didn't provide any vowels for this section - your transliterations were pretty close

Did you recognize this verse? Genesis 1:1 In the beginning Elohim created the heavens...

 

[Tishri1]

I did

how did I do though I know some are mistakes

 

[debi b]

You did great

Since I didn't give vowels on the first ex your transliterations "can't" be incorrect. I was only looking for identifying the letters.

1.
בראשית
Beit/Resh/Aleph/Shin/Yod/Tav

ברא
Beit/Resh/Aleph

אלהים
Aleph/Lamid/Hey/Yod/Mem

Most would say Lamed, but that is not a big deal Especially since this letter was not introduced in this lesson.

את
Aleph/Tev

Tav not Tev - not a big deal - again this letter was not introduced in this lesson.

השמים
Hey/Shin/Mem/Yod/Mem


2.
הארץ
Hey/Aleph/Resh/Tzade


אלהים
Aleph/Lamid/Hey/Yod/Mem

את
Aleph/Tav

בדגת

Gimel/Nun

יד
Yod/Delet

yod/ayin/zayin/bet

Aleph/Yod/Shin

את
Aleph/Tav

ואת
Vav/Aleph/Tav

There are variations in how people "write" the English name of a Hebrew letter. The most important thing is that you recognize the Hebrew letter and know what sound it makes

Bonus question:
Do you know what אלהים means? Here are the vowels for these letters:

אֱלֹהִים
