Welcome! Today's Arabic lesson is the 3 diacritic vowels, "ah", "ee" and "oo".

Today's Arabic lesson is the 3 diacritic vowels, "ah", "ee" and "oo". "Diacritics" are marks or symbols above or below the letters that signify the vowel sounds.

For our purposes today, we'll view the 3 vowels with the letter "daal" د.

"ah" is a short line above the letter daal like so: دَ

"ee" is a short diagonal line below the letter daal like so: دِ

"oo" is a curly-que sybol above the letter daal like so: دُ

ء  "hamza" was yesterday's character.

Today we covered the simple vowels.

Tomorrow, we'll review the whole month of January!
