Words (Speaking):
1. Pronouncing Arabic Words:
- Pronouncing Arabic Words is combining the pronounciation of the letters together. Remember arabic is read from right to left. Start on the letter on the right. There are 3 steps towards pronouncing a word in Arabic*:
1st Step: Take the word and break it down into seperate letters.
بحر= ب+ح+ر
2nd Step: Pronounce every single alphabet in that word seperately.
ب + ح + ر = Ba + Ha + R
3rd Step: Combine the pronounciation of the alphabets together.
بحر = Bahar
*Apply these steps to all other words in Arabic.
2. Arabic Words With Vowel Diacritics:
Here's a video from an Arabic Speaker:
Add (a) at the end of the letter
Add (ee) at the end of the letter
Add (oo) at the end of the letter
Doesn't add anything
- Left Symbol: Add (an) at the end of the letter
- Middle Symbol: Add (en) at the end of the letter
- Right Symbol: Add (on) at the end of the letter
Now Copy the previous 3-Step to prouncing the Word, but add the Vowel Diacritics at the end of the alphabet.
Example #1:
جَميلٌ
ج + م + ي + ل = Ja + Ma + Ya + L
With Vowel Diacritics:
Ja + M + Ee + Lon
= Jameelon, which mean beautiful in English
