Arabic Glottal Sounds (هـ & ء)
In this lesson, you will learn how to pronounce the glottal sounds which are the ء which has no equivalent in English and هـ which can be compared to /h/.

Arabic Pharyngeal Sounds (ع – ح)
In this lesson, you will learn the technique as well as some tricks to pull off the ever so challenging sounds for non-Arabs: ع and ح which do not have similar sounds in English.

Arabic Uvular Sound (ق)
In this lesson you'll learn how to properly pronounce the trickiest sound in Arabic /ق/. You'll also learn the necessary skills needed to produce this sound successfully, and you'll also get to learn some tricks that will help you train your epiglottis to master the sound. If you are learning to read Quran and do Tajeweed, this is the first step to take.

Arabic Velar Sounds (غ – ك – خ)
There are THREE Velar sounds in Arabic (غ - ك - خ), and lessons FOUR AND FIVE will take these sounds consecutively. In Lesson FOUR you'll learn how to properly pronounce two challenging sounds in Arabic /خ/ & /غ/ You'll also learn the necessary skills needed to produce these sounds successfully.

There are only THREE Arabic Interdental Sounds; they are (ظ - ذ - ث) and for these sounds you will your tongue as well as your front teeth.

Really good course, but some the test needs to be looked at as they have the same links for two questions. but 100% recommend it, I also suggest if this is for your kids an adult needs to seat with them to help them, but its easy steps to follow.

Mashallah, great breakdown of where each of the letter sounds are made in the throat/mouth! I think there's an error in one of the final exam questions, however—the audio recording doesn't match the provided answer options.

An Amazing course, however for the exam, you put A3 twice for the audio. When the second A3 you put is meant to be A16. I had to work that out.
