This transliteration format uses a, e, i, o, u with their Latin pronunciations, often rendered in English as ah, ei, ee, oh, oo.
I've based the transliteration on a HebrewPod101 exercise, under the Fair Use copyright exemption for non-commercial excerpts and derivative works. This has audio.

Learn these in the following order. Note that the English forms "permitted to me" and "forbidden to me" reflect Israeli Hebrew usage as well as the Yeshivish expressions for "allowed" mutar and "not allowed" assur. Before reading the dialog, discuss the questions that parents might ask children when they come home from school. Was there anything that you said or did to postpone doing homework? At what point in the transliteration will we know if Liel is a girl or a boy? Gadi is the Father in the dialog.
Before reading the English, see if you can find the Hebrew word for "television" in the transliteration. Other vocabulary that can be introduced: Dad/Abba אבא, yes/ken כן, house/beit בת, home/bayit בית . The more that you practice the transliteration and translation, the less you will miss the nqudot / vowels נקודות . This might be an opportune time to introduce the כ/ח distinction H/kh if you will be using that in your pronunciation.
