Sai ahlan hello Arabic names: dabla faatima” (female) da duu! e ma‘a s-salaama_ — goodbye yuu Sameer (male) aul ism 445 zayna (female) (etuil Ismee my name Gusgs yoosef — (male) (1) Capital letters in the pronunciation, e.g. fatima, indicate emphatic sounds (refer to page 91 and audio track 1). Remember that Arabic reads right to left and most short vowels a, i, u) are not written as part of the main script. They can be included as marks above and below the letters but you won't normally see them. Refer to the alphabet table on page 90 if you want to work out the individual letters in a word, but try to let this happen gradually as you progress. Don't expect to take it all in at once. If you find yourself using strategies at first such as recognizing words by their initial letters or shapes, think of this a positive start and not as "cheating". ©LHHHHHHHHHHHHHOHHOOO~E @®OGQOOOO0000E TOPIC 1: What's your name?

Remember to start on the right. dada! wa ——hello_ kal mal oy abla ul aw Gangs | TOPIC 1: What's your name? nguage Focus @ © Most Arabic letters join to the next letter in a word and change their shape to a greater or lesser extent when they join. Six letters do not join, the most common of which is allif (!). The table on page 90 shows how the individual letters change. As a general principle the left-hand side (or “tail") of a letter is removed before the following letter is joined.

The pronunciation changes to ismik when referring to a female, but the Arabic spelling remains the same.

Vowels tend to be written long to distinguish them from Arabic words, so Harry becomes haari ((¢_,\). Arabic also doesn't have the sound “p”, so “b” is usually substituted: Peter becomes beetar (Gin) and Penny becomes bini (4).

You have overcome the obstacle of learning an unfamiliar language and a different script. You should now have the confidence to enjoy using the Arabic you have learnt. You have also acquired a sound basis from which to expand your language skills in whichever direction you choose. Good luck! TEST YOURSELF This Reference section gives an overview of the Arabic script and pronunciation. You can use it to refer to as you work your way through the Read and Speak Arabic programme. Don't expect to take it all in from the beginning. Read and Speak Arabic is designed to build your confidence step by step as you progress through the topics. The details will start to fall into place gradually as you become more familiar with the Arabic script and language. e Arabic script © © The Arabic script is written from right to left, i.e. the opposite direction to English. The alphabet has 28 letters, no capitals, and — unlike English — words are generally ‘spelt as they sound. © © The letters in an Arabic word are “joined up” — you cannot “print” a word as you can in English. When the letters join to other letters they change their shape. The most common change is that letters lose their “tails” when joined to a following letter (on the right): read this way <<——— H=5+S we = uta erase tatters chanda.thairshane like thie, thav.hane,an initial amediatimia and a final form. For example, the letter ¢ (jeem) changes like this: bv A few letters, such as » (haa) and J (kaaf), change their shapes more radically. In addition, six letters - ; (waw), | (alif), » (daal), 3 (THaal), , (raa), and 5 (zay) only join to the letter before and never to the letter following and so hardly change shape at all. You will find details of how the individual letters change their shape in the alphabet table on page 90 PCy Ce) Ce) The Arabic alphabet © © © © © The table below shows all the Arabic letters in the three positions, with the Arabic letter name, followed by the sound. Remember that this is just for reference and you shouldn't expect to take it all in at once. If you know the basic principles of how: the Arabic script works, you will slowly come to recognize the individual letters.

They can be i as symbols above or below the letter. The short a as a dash above the letter, short i as a dash below, the short u as a comma-shape above. The doubled le symbol (shadda) can be written as a small “w” shape above the letter. Here a some example of Arabic words including these symbols: ( GUS kitaab book Glas majalla mogazine ia Aud shubbaak window — IS kalb dog x —_——————— ae REFERENCE © © © However, most written material omits these symbols making it important for you to be able to recognize a word without them. In this book we have not included the vowel and doubling symbols, but the pronunciation guide will show you how to say the word. You will find it more useful to be able to read the Arabic script without the symbols from the beginning as then you can recognize simple notices, advertisements and signs more easily. ronunciation © © © The pronunciation of Arabic varies depending on the region and the level of formality. We have steered a middle course, using a friendly standard Pronunciation. We have avoided both colloquialisms and the finer grammatical embellishments of “high Arabic”. Many Arabic letters are pronounced in a similar way to their English equivalents. ‘Some are less familiar. Pay special attention to these letters: ve (Saad); 2 (Daad); emphatic letters, pronounced with the tongue on the roof 4 (Taa); 4 (Zaa) of the mouth rather than up against the teeth — written with a capital letter in the pronunciation to distinguish them from their non-emphatic equivalents c(Haa) Pronounced as a breathy “h” ~ written with a capital in the pronunciation to distinguish it from the regular “h”, & (khaa) Pronounced like the “ch” in the Scottish “loch” ¢ (ayn) the sound most often associated with Arabic, and the most difficult to produce: a sort of guttural “ah”-sound & (ghayn) Pronounced like the French throaty “r” © (thaa); 3 (taal) © (thaa) is a soft “th” as in “thin” and 3 (taal) is a hard “th” as in “that” + (hamza) a strange “half letter”. Not really pronounced at all, but has the effect of cutting short the previous letter 3 (taa marbooTa) a version of (ta) that only appears at the end of words and is pronounced a or at. _ You will find an introduction to the sounds of Arabic on track 1 of your audio. i Re REFERENCE Wee OOO 0 OC OOC0000 Page 6 Check your answers with the Key Words panel on page 5.
