I'm gonna include exercises for sure, but for now it's kinda too early for us to be able to do that.

is there a good textbook you can recommend?

I know this might be a bit shocking but I'd say no there ain't, because Arabic gets very little attention from the language learning industry and a lot of the material is aimed at "diplomats" wink wink, that is why I make the material myself. But when it comes to the alphabet I guess any book will do, maybe check Alif Baa Introduction to Arabic Letters and Sounds.

Edit: By material I mean the pdfs I share with my students, not these posts.

The first lesson in case you didn't see it.

This is not a problem when your language must be written in cursive. With English, you need to learn to write in cursive, but in Arabic it's called learning how to write

It's just a watchlist for work, nothing to worry about

List of comrades who wanna be pinged when I post lessons.

Yeah I thought you meant they had the same sound.

It sounds like ه in Arabic, not ح.

I found this in a reddit comment:

/ħ/ ח - ح.

In modern Hebrew most of the people pronounce the ח as /χ/, but still there are many people pronouncing it in the original way.

It's pronounced like the ee in 'feel' or 'beep', and it's just a letter. It's transliterated as ii.

Are all possessive markers attached to the end of a word?

Yeah, they are actually called Attached Pronouns, and they are used for more than just expressing possession.

I forgot to reply, sorry! No I don't have any such modules.

Well, it seems they share the same Semitic origin, but I think the answer to your question is probably no. I don't know any Hebrew, but I know that Hebrew speakers have a hard time pronouncing ح .

@infuziSporg@hexbear.net iirc, you know (some) Hebrew?

Who else wants to get pinged when I post lessons?

This is our second Arabic lesson I guess

I've actually been thinking about taking notes while reading, especially with theory.

Not according to these articles:

https://www.newsweek.com/aoc-campaign-flyers-typos-arabic-errors-election-harris-1976821

I've been meaning to learn arabics for some time now

That is what I like to hear! We'll probably start tomorrow, and I'll make sure to ping you.

I never actually left, I just use my regular account :D We'll start tomorrow, if not today. And I'll make sure to ping you
