Question

What is the hardest Arabic letter for you to pronounce?
 Is it the (ع), the (خ), or maybe the (ض)? Let me know! 👇

Answer

What I remember is that ع (ʻ) looks like the strain formula, the letter pronounced without strain. خ (kh) in  خبز (khubz) bread. ض (ḍ) in رمضان (Ramadan).

Answer

Not exactly! The 'strain' actually comes from the letter (ع) itself, not the vowel marks.

The marks just determine the sound that follows (like 'a', 'i', or 'u'). You need that throat tension regardless of the vowel!
