Find an Arabic tutor near me in Oxton

The Arabic alphabet has 28 letters, all of which are consonants that connect together in most cases.

• The "non-connectors" include Alif, Dāl, Dhāl, Rā, Zāy, and Wāw, which keep their isolated form on the left side.
• Letters change form depending on where they sit in a word: start, middle, end, or alone.
• Three letters can also act as long vowels: Alif (ā), Wāw (ū), and Yā (ī).

Diacritics called "harakat" indicate short vowels: fatḥa (a), kasra (i), and ḍamma (u).

Once you recognise these characters, you can decode almost any Arabic text.

Arabic presents two main challenges for English speakers: its grammar system and its script.

• Unlike English, Arabic verbs follow predictable moulds—once you learn the patterns, conjugation becomes logical.
• Reading direction and shape-shifting letters require practice, but they follow clear rules.
• Sounds like ع (ʿayn) and ح (ḥā) have no English equivalent, so pronunciation needs ear training.

Working with a teacher accelerates progress, especially for pronunciation and grammar drills.
