Instead of showing the letters as they normally appear in words and sentences, with the initials, medials, and endings, they separated the letters. As native Arabs rarely, if ever, see Arabic words written this way, they were slower at recognizing the words.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636019247752692989.post-42310502549352689322011-10-05T06:41:49.934-04:002011-10-05T06:41:49.934-04:00For me the written style is very confusing, then h...For me the written style is very confusing, then h(7) and 3ayn sometimes look very alike, if you don't know the root it might be a problem.

I've been learning hebrew too and that I could say was very hard, for me hebrew letters look alike way more than arabic letters do. I suppose it's more subjective than objective, this talk of finding letters harder to distinguish than others ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636019247752692989.post-48983346336154089692010-09-08T04:42:43.314-04:002010-09-08T04:42:43.314-04:00Yes, I have noticed that too.

It's not so hard in the font you see most of the time, but sometimes on TV I'll be reading something and not know what the word is and then realize that it's a ف in the word instead of a غ or vice versa.The Arabic Studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616844721436789527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636019247752692989.post-64527842096599232752010-09-08T03:49:28.019-04:002010-09-08T03:49:28.019-04:00I don't find Arabic hard to read however I fin...I don't find Arabic hard to read however I find medial ف and غ hard to discriminate between in some fancy fonts. <br /><br />نفن (nfn)<br />نغن (nghn) they could look very similar depending on the shape of the font in my opinion. All the others are fine. I don't concentrate anymore I just see the word and read it straightaway like it's english but not as fast as english because we're so familiar with english we actually recongize the word as a whole - we don't literally read the letters one by one to spell a word.Jazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829316419161424243noreply@blogger.com
