WELCOME to my FREE Arabic Lessons Blog!

The basic Arabic alphabet contains 28 letters, some of them do not exist in English. It also has 3 short vowels, 3 long vowels, plus sukoon, plus shadda, plus 3 kinds of tanween. To help you learn how to read Arabic, I gave a link with enough examples of  all the above, using Arabic letters with complete vowelization (shakle). 

See the links :
