I heard from Maha that the letter J is pronounced like in word vision. So now Im confused. Can aynone explain that?

[arabicdashstudio]

@kamkaj19 That's often true in modern and colloquial Arabic, but in classical Arabic, the books on Arabic phonetics make it clear that the Jeem sound is like the English J.

@arabicdashstudio my mother tongue is urdu..i dont understand the difference between the ta and tay..its seems to be the same. secondly urdu has more alphabets than arabic, not the other way round as stated in the video

[arabicdashstudio]

@ZohaibAbbasi Yes that was a slight slip of the tongue - Urdu does indeed have more letters than Arabic. Regarding the difference, listen out for how a Pakistani and an Arab pronounce the work "kitaab", and you should be able to spot the difference.

You speak English very well. Which is your first language?

[arabicdashstudio]

@Th3Wh1teH4t English is my first language.

Haha, ''Ta'' is a very happy letter, I can tell :)

[Shlaun715]

@kamkaj19 The "jeem" letter in Arabic (as in the word rajul or "man") is pronounced similar to a J in English (as in the word Jewel). In Egyptian dialect that same letter is pronounced as a G (as in Google). So the word for "chicken" in Arabic (dejaaj) would be pronounced degaag in Egyptian dialect. There are a lot of different dialects and inflections for Arabic speakers. This is colloquial and the best dialect to learn and understand all dialects.

It is useless for student to learn the "NAME" of the letters. Students need to learn the pronunciation of the letter, that's it. They don't need to be confused with the name.
