different sound of the letter you will be able to blend sounds from different letters this is for pronunciation or reading or speaking skills after that we should know how to write this letter and

the shape of a stick and Alhamza on top of the stick and we have its name its name is Alif its name is Alif the letter sound in the word it represented by letter a in English so watch this word it's referred to the lion it is called you see letter Alif here it listen to the sound of the letter it is in the a sound so we call it means lion and you identify letter Alif in the beginning of the word and now you see its name is Alif but its sound is a then the second letter is letter B the name of the letter is but its sound it's like letter B in English so its name is but its sound is look at this word you listen to letter B in first sound you listen to when we read this word together we say okay then we have this letter it is letter the letter the name of the letter is the sound of the letter is in the word you see now I pronounce this letter is its name is its sound is we will study this together in the following lessons but we see now together it's the third letter we have here letter it's in the word thank you thank you or so this letter is founded in the word or thank you so it is called letter the sound of this letter is so we have this word is called I just want from you to listen to the sound of the letter it is what is the next letter we have here letter the letter name is the letter sound is the letter sound is so this letter is represented as letter J in English so this word is which is camel and the name of the letter is then the following letter is the letter name is but the letter sound is look at this word which means pilgrimage but as you see now we don't have this sound in English this sound is in Arabic so it is a throat sound it's coming out from this area and it is called a throat sound it is coming from here it is the other face of letter which is H but it is not H because H when you say you are totally opening the area here in your throat but in the letter H you shrink this area into small area to out the sound of this letter so when you shrink this area assume with me that you will press this area so you will have this letter name is H this letter sound is H then we have the following letter is again it is called the H we don't have this letter in English too you know if you know the word of if you know a man is called Khalid not natives say it Khalid but it is it is coming out from the same area you pronounce H and H and H but H it is there is some friction when you pronounce this letter you have some friction by raising up the ending of your tongue in the throat area you will have this friction sound which is K look at this word it is okay this is letter K and we have letter D this is the usual letter we already have this letter in English it is a letter D in English it is soft letter look at this word listen so this letter is we have it in English this word is then we have when you pronounce this letter it is found in the word this in English this this so you have out your teeth from here like that so you pronounce this letter as this letter represents the sound in the word this and it is called look at this word we have the then we have the next letter is the letter name is the letter sound it is equivalent to letter R in English so R sound you have this word it is listen to the word again so this letter is this word is the sound of letter represented by letter R in English then we have letter the letter name is it is found in the word do in English it represented by the letter Z in English so it is you now when you read this letter you don't have to get out the tip tongue in your no it is totally in so it is they they so you can say which means giraffe but it is the same sound in the word so letter Z here represented by Z sound in English then we have letter seen the name of the letter is seen it's represented by S in English so letter seen is equivalent to letter S in English so listen to the word so we listen to letter S then we have this letter the brother of seen it is called sheen and we already have this sound it is the sound of sh which is so we have this word starting by the sound of letter sheen the letter sound is the letter name is sheen then we have letter sawed sawed oh this is a deep sound we don't have this letter in English it is the deep version of seen so seen is soft letter how to pronounce seen we all of us know how to pronounce seen but when you focus with your mouth movement you will find that your lips is totally relaxed your tongue is totally relaxed so you can say it's like it but little sawed it's a deep sound you will find your tongue is collapsed like that and you will find your lips is shrinked like that so sawed but seen look at my mouth seen but sawed collapse sawed relax seen again sawed seen sawed seen and so on so letter sawed is the deep sound of letter seen and we don't have this sound in English you have this word it is sawed sawed and then we have letter daad daad what do we have here we have the same technique of the letter sawed and seen the letter daad it is the deep sound but daad is a soft sound daad is a deep sound how to pronounce daad all of your mouth is relaxed daad letter daad you will collapse your lips daad daad daad okay and listen to the daad and you know Arabic language is called which means letter daad language but why they call it like that because letter daad is very unique it is not found in any other language except Arabic language so this letter is the deep version of daad listen to the word we have here okay and the name of the letter it is daad you will find that in the letter daad I wrote it with d small but I refer to daad with d capital because I refer to a deep sound okay like seen I refer to seen with s small but I refer to sawed with s capital as it is a deep version then we have another deep sound it is taa taa it's the deep version of taa do you remember taa taa is represented by t letter in English but taa we don't have an equivalent sound in English it is a deep sound it is the brother of taa but with a deep pronunciation so we have taa but we have taa taa taa and you know it's the same technique when you pronounce the soft letters you will find that your lips and your tongue and all of your mouth is relaxed but deep sound it represented by collapsing your lips so it is taa but the other was taa so tifle listen to this ti ti tifle tifle tifle letter taa sound of taa ti tifle okay then we have letter daa daa you know this letter when you pronounce it you will have your tip tongue outside your teeth as if you remember the simple pronunciation of daal which is located in this but daa is the deep version of daal so we have daal and we have daa daal daa so this letter name is daa but the sound of this is dh dh it is dh dh dh but you know we don't have this sound in english we only have the th which produces that this is the deep version of that which is dh okay and dh means name we have letter ayn ayn ayn letter ayn is a throat letter it is it is the same point where you pronounce but when you pronounce letter ayn you don't blow air you just control the muscle of your throat you raise this muscle up to produce the sound of a it's coming from this area don't say it because you know if you want to um have uh critical words which is pronounce it with the same versions of arabic and english for example this word is ayn if we took just one i it is called ayn non-natives pronounce this letter as a it is not a you know what if you said ayn instead of ayn ayn means i ayn means where so you don't have to pronounce this is wrong and then you will have wrong reading and wrong speaking so ayn which means i listen to the word it's the same name of the letter which is letter ayn okay then we have letter ghayn it's the same output area for kha you see the kha but this is gha when you pronounce kha with this fraction but when you say gha you don't blow air so you will have the sound of listen to the post sound of in the first which is kha i blow air if you put your hand like that you will feel air hitting your hand so it is kha but ghayn no air flow from in to out so this letter is called and it is gha sound listen to the word of crew and we don't have the sound of then we have letter fa the name of the letter is called fa the sound of the letter it is letter in english so listen to this word feel feel which is elephant feel it's a lip uh letter it's coming from your lip so feel feel letter fa sound fa feel then we have letter cough letter cough letter cough is the deep sound of so it is not k in english it is it's really really near from q but it is deep so it's deep sound of k it is and it gives you the sound of look at this moon it is so i can't tell you now we don't have this sound in english then yes we have the soft sound of cough look at me how to pronounce cough and then how to pronounce and look at this word which is dog you know what happen if we say it as means heart means listen to the difference and you know you should fix on the point of how to produce the sound of the letter because for if you show some emotion to someone and you tell him that you are my heart so what is the word in this case it will be you see which means you my heart but if you pronounce cough as calf what will happen you will say oh this is very very insulting so when you say you say you are my heart but when you say you say you are my dog so this is not happening letter cough is cough letter calf calf then we have the word which is starting with lamb this letter name is called lamb it's represented by letter l in english lamb lamb it's represented by the sound of la or li or no let's listen then we have letter meme meme meme it is equivalent to letter m in english letter meme its name meme the sound of the letter then we have letter noon it is equivalent to n letter in english so noon is letter n in english it is called noon it gives you the sound of na then we have this word little noon then yes we have the brother of ha but it's not ha it is ha it is so easy to pronounce it so it is exist in english it's represented by letter h in english we have this word haram which means pyramid so haram ha haram what happened if we pronounce haram as haram you know haram is the area around the kaaba in saudi arabia in pilgrimage so al haram haram is kaaba and haram is pyramid so if you have the word the haram and then you said this word is haram now we totally changed the meaning from pyramid to al kaaba so this is ha give you ha sound haram then letter wow it is equivalent to letter w in english it is it gives you the sound of what what is that what is that its name is wow its sound is same for letter w word what word then the final letter we have here is letter yeah it is called yeah it's represented by y in english by little y so it gives you yeah sound listen to this so the letter name is yeah the letter sound is yeah so we ended the 28 letters until now starting from letter alif ending by letter yeah now i need to i need you to know that we have the letter name and the letter sound the letter name we identify the letter by its name so if i ask you which in this word which letter do we have so you will say this word is starting by letter yeah and what is the pronunciation of this letter in the word it is yeah so see you in a new lesson and let's identify how to produce different sound so see you my student let's today take the lesson of pronoun the most important key in the spoken and written arabic it is if you want to contact with other persons you need to know about pronouns if you want to have some communication conversation introduce yourself to speak with the next one speak to the group you need to know pronouns pronouns in arabic it is called and when we start to speak about we should identify them into personal pronouns same as english and possessive pronouns subject pronouns and object pronoun let's introduce this each one by each one step by step and practice through example so we have to start basically in the beginning with personal pronouns is called the let's today take the lesson of pronoun the most important key in the spoken and written arabic it is if you want to contact with other persons you need to know about pronouns if you want to have some communication conversation introduce yourself to speak with the next one speak to the group you need to know pronouns pronouns in arabic it is called and when we start to speak about we should identify them into personal pronouns same as english and possessive pronouns subject pronouns and object pronoun let's introduce this each one by each one step by step and practice through example so we have to start basically in the beginning with personal pronouns or subject pronoun which is called the these pronouns are separate not attached because we have possessive pronoun they are always attached but subject pronoun they are detached each one make a sense make meaning by itself in the arabic language they are equivalent to i and we you and he and she and they and why we use them assume with me that i'm speaking with you about a male about a female with a name for example i said ahmed goes to school ahmed gets up morning at 6 a.m ahmed love to eat uh pizza you see how i'm this is wrong a linguistic but i need to say it he goes to school he walks up he like to swim he he he and his of course instead of repeating all pronouns um as a name for ahmed every time you you you want to express a fact about him so to avoid repeating the subject name we can compensate for that by using the pronoun as in english we have the first person pronouns it's ilv this is the one who is speaking and the second person pronoun it is you and it is only you in english and this is the address person the person you are speaking to and the third person pronoun he and she and they they are absent they are not without us now they are separate pronouns let's introduce them in arabic so let's start with the first person pronoun and this person what is the meaning of the speaker let's start by the single speaker which is i ana as in english i is used for the speaker who is female or male feminine or masculine so if i wanted to say i am a teacher in english you don't identify that the speaker is female or male before you see him or her so i am a teacher in english that means ana so i am is ana valid for both of the speakers masculine or feminine but the word following ana this will declare the gender of the speaker because we have feminine it is and masculine it will be so tamar buta here is a gender sign for feminine words i am a teacher but the teacher here is female if i wanted to say i am a teacher but the teacher here is male i can say ana so again ana is valid for masculine and feminine and the speaker here is just one person for the first person pronoun to the speaker is plural so it will be we which is for plural so if i wanted to say we are tourists we are tourists and now we can use if the group is just feminine if the group is just masculine so i can use if we are a group whatever the gender in the group is so the first person then the second person pronoun you so this is the address person the person you are speaking to so i will start with using ente you but in arabic language for you we have many variations the first variation if you are speaking to a single male you would use ente look at the pronunciation we have here the final letter is te with fatha sound so it is ente you is a singular put it in a sentence you are a student and so you are a student but you identify that this sentences is addressed to masculine because of the pronoun is ente so the gender here of the pronoun is male and here is the adjective student is masculine too so it is so when this girl speaking with this boy he she will tell him so when he replied to her he will use so she said ente he will reply this is the second person pronoun ente now this boy will speak to this girl so he will use you but addressed to feminine he will use ente ente and look at the sentence here all of the sentence transform it from the masculine gender into feminine gender so now we have is the feminine sign and the pronoun is feminine too when you say it in english you are a student you don't know if this student is male or female but in arabic if you said you are able to identify that you are speaking to female so when he she will reply yes she will use now we have another variation of you if you are speaking to dual which means two persons they are dual you will use ente so if i am speaking to those two persons i will say just one male one female if i wanted to speak into to speak to two persons male both of them it is also two female and two men so when i use two masculines two feminine mixed gender is valid it should be followed by dual word so is tourist the suffix n it is the suffix of dual so when i attach suffix n to the word say you make it the hand that means two tourists you are two tourists masculine feminine mixed gender but when they reply to you they supposed to use we so when i call them you they reply and use we so they reply me by using which is we in arab
