אם הכותרת לא ברורה לך, תשאלי את המורה לפני שאת ממשיכה.

Here אם means if and introduces a condition: If the title isn’t clear to you...

A useful note: without vowel marks, אם can also be the word for mother, but in this sentence the meaning is clearly if.

In present-tense Hebrew, the verb to be is usually omitted.

So Hebrew says something more like:

• הכותרת לא ברורה לך
• literally: the title not clear to you

That is normal Hebrew grammar. You do not need a separate word for is in the present tense.

The prefix ה־ is the definite article, meaning the.

So:

• כותרת = a title / title
• הכותרת = the title

Since the sentence is talking about a specific title, Hebrew uses הכותרת.

Because כותרת is a feminine noun.

In Hebrew, adjectives agree with the noun they describe in gender and number. So:

• masculine singular: ברור
• feminine singular: ברורה

Since הכותרת is feminine singular, the adjective must also be feminine singular: ברורה.

לך means to you.

Hebrew often expresses this idea as clear to someone, just like English can say clear to me / clear to you.

So:

• ברורה לך = clear to you
• לא ברורה לך = not clear to you

This ל־ prefix is very common with pronoun endings:

• לי = to me
• לך = to you
• לו = to him
• לה = to her

Hebrew does not always follow English-style word order in predicate sentences.

Here the structure is:

• הכותרת = the subject
• לא ברורה = not clear
• לך = to you

So Hebrew naturally says:

• הכותרת לא ברורה לך

Literally: the title not clear to you

That is a very standard Hebrew pattern.

Because the sentence is addressed to one female.

תשאלי is the 2nd person feminine singular form, meaning you will ask or, in context, ask.

Compare:

• תשאל = you (masculine singular) will ask
• תשאלי = you (feminine singular) will ask
• תשאלו = you (plural) will ask

So this sentence is specifically directed at a female learner.

Modern Hebrew often uses the future tense as a command or instruction, especially in neutral or everyday language.

So both of these can mean ask when speaking to one female:

• שאלי = imperative
• תשאלי = future form used as an instruction

In many contexts, תשאלי sounds very natural and common, especially in instructions like this one.

Here את is the direct object marker. It does not have a meaning you translate into English.

Hebrew uses את before a definite direct object. Since המורה means the teacher, it is definite, so Hebrew adds את:

• תשאלי את המורה = ask the teacher

This את is different from the pronoun את meaning you (feminine singular), even though they are spelled the same.

לפני means before.

שאת is made of:

• ש־ = a linking particle introducing a clause
• את = you (feminine singular)

So:

• לפני שאת ממשיכה = before you continue

This is a very common Hebrew structure.

After expressions like לפני ש... (before...), Hebrew very often uses a present participle form such as ממשיכה.

So:

• לפני שאת ממשיכה = before you continue

Even though English uses continue, Hebrew can naturally use this present-form pattern here.

Also, ממשיכה is feminine singular, matching the feminine את.

Yes. לפני שתמשיכי is also correct and means essentially the same thing: before you continue.

So you may see both:

• לפני שאת ממשיכה
• לפני שתמשיכי

Both are natural. The version in your sentence, לפני שאת ממשיכה, is very common and conversational.
