practice short & long vowels

page 1/1

 
Did you know that the Arabic alphabet consists of 28 letters? Did you also know for each of the 28 letters there can be six different sounds depending on the short or long vowel that the letter carries?

Arabic has three short and three long vowels. When anyone of these vowels is coupled with a consonant the consonant develops a unique sound.

Note a consonant can carry no vowel for the "pure" or  "default" sound of the letter. No vowel means the consonant carries a sequoun (ﮦ).
                
Listen below to each of the 28 letters. First you will hear the letter with no vowel then with the six consecutive vowels.
