Arabic to English — Communication challenges for العربية speakers
Communication challenges for العربية speakers
When you speak English, you may run into challenges that come from the differences between العربية and English. Common areas include: English is written left-to-right — the complete opposite of Arabic; English vowel sounds are far more varied than Arabic's vowel system; Arabic has no 'p' sound — speakers often substitute 'b' instead; English has no dual form — Arabic speakers must unlearn the singular-dual-plural habit; Saying 'He go to school every day' instead of 'He goes to school' — missing third person -s; Omitting articles entirely: 'I saw dog' instead of 'I saw a dog'. Understanding these helps you focus your practice. Rozy lets you practise in a safe space and get feedback so you improve over time.
