Lesson 4
Lesson 1 - The Arabic Alphabet
The arabic alphabet consists of 29 letters, each with its own name and sound. Letters in the Arabic alphabet change shape when they are connected with other letters to form words, however this will be covered in a later lesson. It is essential that you memorise these letters along with their pronounciations completely - not only will it make the rest of the lessons very easy, but you will not be able to continue to further lessons without at least being able to recognise each letter. Below you will find each letter with its name. To hear the pronounciation of each letter, click on its name.
Some of the more difficult letters contain a small pronounciation guide if you scroll your mouse over the link to the letter's sound. To hear each letter's sound just click on its link and open the sound-file without saving it.
Hint: Try memorising the alphabet only one line at a time.

Practice Sets
Below you will find 3 practice sets. Each of these links will open a new window which will contain a table similar to the above table, however all the letters will be jumbled, and their names will be removed. Try and name each letter in the practice sets 1 by 1 as best you can. If you do forget a what the name of a letter is, then you can switch windows and check out the letters name and its pronounciation on this page.
