That's correct. I actually wonder why most of the language teachers don't mention a word about phonetics. For example, arabic sun letters are called "dentals" or "alveolars", meaning that your tongue touches your teeth or alveolar ridge. Thus one can say that the /l/ in "al" assimilates into the following alveolar or dental consonant instead of listing and memorizing all of them separately. Such rules explain 99% of the "irregularities" in languages.
Thanks for the video, the way I use to know if a Letter is sun or Moon is the position of the tongue, if letter is pronounced with close to the L position, it is sun letter ( tongue on ¿ paladar? * Don't know how to say this, top inside the motuh*. If letter uses mainly teeth, lips, throat or it is vowel, it is moon and requires pronunciation.
Good job Maha. Of all the arabic lessons I browse from youtube, I like your videos most. I like the way you explain every lesson. I am learning alot from your videos. Your are an excellent teacher plus your beauty and charisma.
@brauliohh All spoken dialects of Arabic use El but what Maha is teaching you is Modern Standard Arabic which is used in the news and TV and as an official language in Arab countries.Learning this will make it easier for you to comprehend the spoken dialects of Arabic.
What do you mean by ''there is no indefinite article''?There is one!!!I know because I had to learn it immediately on my first Arabic class.It's un,an or in you can put at the end of the word.They are written as double fatha,kasra or damma.For example,in my book,kabiir is written as kabiirun,bayt is baytun,etc.
