Guide

How to read this lesson.

Arabic has 28 letters plus hamza. Learn their names and shapes first. Notice the dots: they are the only difference between ب ت ث and between ج ح خ.

Work through the grid from right to left, row by row, saying each cell aloud. When you can read a cell without looking at the transliteration, mark it as known. Repeat the lesson the next day before moving on.
