See how you get on recognising the letters (there are a couple of oddities). The text is reproduced afterwards with alternating colours, if you need to check anything.

The second section will practice pronunciation.

The main quirks are in the writing of the letter ء . As you might have noticed, sometimes it is written alone, sometimes on top of something, as in يؤمنون or اولئك . The general rule is that if it is after a letter that joins on to something, then something is put in for the ء to sit on. What thing depends on the sound .

It also seems that web browsers like to treat لا as one 'letter'! As they do the لله of الله

When pronouncing the words individually, or on the last word of a sentence when you are going to stop, it is normal not to pronounce the last vowel sound or ة .
