Simple vowel lessons?

TC Tue, 27 Sep 2011 07:04:49 -0500
Is there any way someone could help me with vowel lessons (like what is a hamza, diphthong, etc) because I really want to continue learning the alphabet but I don't have the money to purchase the full version, even with the discounted price.

Also what is the name "Taylor" in Arabic? I would love to be able to write my own name. "Ana ismak.... "

Also, if you don't have the vowel and hamza etc. signs, can people still understand your writing?

Ahlan TC

By 'vowels' I assume you mean the tanween (fathah, kasrah & dhomma) which are symbols placed above or below letters.

These are mainly used when teaching Arabic or to guide people to correct reading (for example in the Quran). However, normal Arabic speakers wouldn't use these when writing or reading unless they needed some further clarification since they would recognize the words without the vowels.

If you want to write Taylor in Arabic it would be تيلور or تايلور but if you are looking for an Arabic equivalent instead you could use "Taymoor".

Hope that helps!

Ahlan Amira.
I just bought Rocket Arabic premium. I've some problem about reading arabic written because there is NO tanween. Can you consider that to put tanween on there. If i read using Romawi written, i can't to pronounceable.

Ahlan Ahamad!

Unfortunately the course doesn't use tanween since it's not usually used in normal Arabic writing.

I would suggest familiarizing yourself with the words without the tanween - you can also use the audio to help you pronounce the words.

I'm sorry I can't be of further help but if you have any other questions, please let me know!
