لغة الضاد Why( ث / ذ /ظ) are written in same colour ? For sure they have a similarity in something !! Yes, these letters are called in Arabic " الحروف اللثوية " which means you should out your tongue while pronouncing these letters. N.B: Many native speakers don’t out their tongues while pronouncing these letters so it’s not a big problem if you don’t follow this rule. Why (ض) is written in a different colour ? Simply, this letter is Unique and the early Arabic grammarians describe Arabic as the" لغة الضاد = the language of Dād”. I found this video may help Arabic beginners on how to pronounce Arabic Alphabet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPDCCdFR_dI ___________________________________________________________ Now, I’d like to help you in what’s we called in Arabic “tashkeel = التشكيل” الفتحة ، مثال: بَاب الكسرة، مثال: كِتاب الضمة، مثال: مُفتاح These videos may help you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUSMUqCYZ6M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wToevbe1Zmk What’s the importance of “التشكيل” ? It’s important to pronounce well so you can give the right meaning you want, as "التشكيل" affects the meaning of the word. ex: هذا (الكِتاب) شيق = This (book) is interesting الكُتاب) العرب متميزون) = The Arab (writers) are distinct N.B: Most of native speakers don’t use “التشكيل” in their writing because they know how to pronounce the word naturally, of course it’s their mother language !! N.B: I'll add something else regarding "التشكيل" later on. My advices to Arabic learners: 1. Try to absorb and internalize the language. 2. Try to know more about Arab culture. 3. Try to be exposed to the language as much as possible. 4. I don’t advise at all to write Arabic in English letters or something like that. How could you learn new language while you are not ready to write with its alphabet?! It may be difficult at the early stage of learning, but for sure, later on it’ll be easy. Simply, to learn new language you should do the tough thing. Also some phonetics may not present in your language. 5. Hear Arabic from the beginning and try to mimic. 6. Don't hesitate to ask native speakers. GOOD LUCK
