a bit unrelated but do you have any suggestions for learning to read arabic without the vowels/harakat ?? i can only read w vowels and whenever i see a word w/o them my mind blanks and i literally. just guess what sounds each letter makes 😭😭

it all comes down to practice, bubs! consume enough content in arabic and you'll start being familiar with how and where certain words are used. reading, I think, is very useful! perhaps with audio to follow along to 🤔

#i dont recall when exactly did i stop needing to use harakat but !! it's just practice and exposure #also the guessing thing- sdfhjsd trust me thats just how arabic was meant to be read 💀#we all guess what the words will sound like its just that some do it faster than others bcs of practice #i remember learning this funky lil fact about our language #ancient arabs valued poetry and eloquence so much. most people were fluent x 17829302. it was a language memorized in the heart #writing was only used to provide hints for what the words sounded like and as such they didnt even need dots 💀#it was just shit that looked like سىىكداطىىى and people just knew what it read 💀 (that was just a jumble of letters dw shdjfs)#but just like anything its easy to understand and *guess* with enough practice and familiarity so :>#dots and then later harakat were added to implement a uniform pronunciation #ANYWAY point is anon youre already doing so great being able to read and understand arabic !! dw abt it bcs all it takes is practice :D #anon #sundooq 💌
