Maha Sweis- Dababneh, Ph.D.Moraine Valley Community College
2
Arabic Language has some challenging particularly for people who speak English for the following reasons:
The Arabic script is written in a Cursive style, Letters are connected
The Arabic language is written right to left
3
Letters have slightly different shapes depending on where they take place in a word
In general Arabic sounds use a wider range of mouth and throat positions than English
4
Further, In Arabic language we use diacritics marks, or short vowels. These are symbols or signs that are placed on or underneath a letter, to indicate that it has a different pronunciation
5
Arabic has very few irregular verbs and does not use "is" or "are" at all in the present tense:
"the boy tall" means "the boy is tall"
