ذَ is pronounced dha

ذَوا is pronounced dhawaa

ذي is pronounced dhii

ذَي is pronounced dhay

ذا is pronounced dhaa

ذَو is pronounced dhaw

ذَو is pronounced dhuu

Quick pause between lessons! I realise one of those last two are wrong but :') I don't remember which is meant to have the ذّ and which one was just ذ 🙃 I think dhuu is the one without the accent but i'll leave this as a note for future me who'll know a bit more. On with the learning!

كَ is pronounced ka

زَك is pronounced zak

راج is pronounced raaj

دوج is pronounced duuj

ذَوب is pronounced dhawb

بَis pronounced ba

جَ is pronounced ja

Another quick break! I learned I was using the wrong accent 😭 there's َ and ً and ّ and I'm fairly certain they're all gonna make different sounds so I should be as accurate as possible. One more lesson and I'll call it a night

جَد is pronounced jad

دوب is pronounced duub

كو is pronounced kuu

دٍَز is pronounced baz

جاك is pronounced jaak

دِاج is pronounced baaj

كَذ is pronounced kahd

Phew! Finding out certain letters can change when they start a word (glaring at you, ج/ح/خ, and ك) was wild when i tried copying these over 😭 also, I'm aware that my 'ba' sounds aren't the right letter, i couldn't understand how to type the right one properly! Its like ذِ but upside down-ish? Like the dot underneath and the line on top? If anyone knows I'm happy to be shown how bc it's baffled me. Definitely time to stop now tho 😅
