assalamu alaikum..great video akhee i just have a question i've been wondering for a long time...now i don't read the arabic too well i'm just working on pronunciations through transliterations and listening to speakers..i'm not sure what letter represents this in the arabic alphabet but what's troubling is the use of the ' (apostrophe)... before a vowel..for example..the name 'Umar, 'Ibaadah, 'alim, 'Eid.....if u don't mind explaning that would be great...shukran akhee

@CGJUGO80 the apostrophe is there to indicate a stress in the sound.. it usually referes to a hamza or 3ain in the word.

im still bad at pronouncing the letter 7 im trying to do likescratching but it doesnt work. any other tips?

[Homelang1]

well, If I stumble upon any useful trick to get it the pronunciation of this letter easier I will inform you.

for now I would just recommend that you train your ears to distinguish between the different sounds and I'm sure if you stick with it, you will get it right one day :)

Hi, I know these sounds are uncommon in English, but I wonder if it is similar to German: ه as h in haus, ح as ch in dich, خ as ch in noch, غ as r in raum. Could anyone know both languages verify with this?

Shukran, shukran. I'm taking Arabic and tonight, while studying, I needed some help with pronunciation of the emphatic letters. I like the way you explain how we should make the sounds.

You are a great teacher and your videos are sooo helpful.I tried so many times to pronounce properly certain sounds but with your help I'm getting much better. Thank you .

You are a good teacher - the speed is not too fast and you give enough repetiton time for the listener to practice what is heard. Shukran.

@Homelang1 Salam alaikum...

pardon my arrogance but what is "hamza" and "3ain" ...are they letters? Do you know of any source where I can learn them? shukran akhee and thank you for your time
