Make sure you go through the new Arabic Language Frequently Asked Questions section (FAQs). It has a growing list of common questions selected from hundreds of visitors and students of Arabic language.

Maintenant, vous devriez vous poser la question au sujet de la lettre " Hamza " qui est la dernière lettre dans le tableau 1, bien.. la leçon suivante est sur ce sujet:

La " Hamza " est un des trois types de voyelles en arabe (les marques vocales ont été expliquées dans la leçon antérieure). Ça peut être le sujet le plus compliqué en arabe, je pense qu'il faut lui consacrer une élaboration de cours à part (même quelques Arabes ne peuvent pas arriver correctement à l'écrire dans certains cas). En tout cas j'essaierai de le faire aussi facile que possible et vous donner seulement l'essentiels, allons y:

En premier lieu, la " Hamza " est la prononciation de "ou" comme dans "Sour" Les règles d'écritures dépendent de la nature de la hamza, de sa place dans le mot, du vocalisme. La ''hamza'' indique un arrêt ou une pause dans le prononciation. Aucun son, simplement un petit arrêt. Voyons un exemple pour cela:

		Mar-aa
		Lo-oeu-lo-oeu-
		Bi-er
		Dif-oe

Notes:

• La Hamza ne se lie jamais
  - Elle ne change pas de forme
  - Elle est plus petite que les autres lettres.
  
• Elle s’écrit soit seule sur la ligne soit sur l’une des 3 voyelles longues ( ا - و - ي ) qui deviennent alors muettes (de simples supports de la Hamza) c’est alors la voyelle brève qui se trouve sur la hamza qui sera prononcée.
  
• - Au début d’un mot, la hamza est toujours sur ou sous un Alif selon (Tachkil). Si la ‘’Fat-ha et Dhamma’’ se trouvent sur la ‘’hamza’’ donc cette dernière est écrite sur Alif si la ‘’Kas-ra’’ se trouve sur la hamza donc cette dernière est écrite sous ‘’Alif’’. Voici les exemples suivants:

• (ANA) qui veut dire (moi)

• (Imaan) qui veut dire (la foi)

• Si vous voulez plus de précision sur les règles d'écriture de la Hamza vous pouvez poser vos questions et je vais vous les envoyer par email.


• Certains sources ne considèrent pas la Hamza comme voyelle ni même une lettre!!!

I think by now you should have learned all the basics of Arabic language script and some words and sentences, and you should be able to read or write some Arabic words. Now, what is left for you to do is learn Arabic vocabulary and some grammar to be able to create sentences. These tasks need more than a simple on-line tutorial, they need some time and work from you! But if you have any questions on something included in this tutorial (or not !!) just send me a message and I'll be happy to answer them as soon as possible. If you have any thoughts, questions or ideas just tell me about them.

1- Try writing your name using the the Arabic alphabets forms in the table in lesson 2. Just copy and paste the letters in any image editor and you will have Arabic words as GIF files ,unless you have Arabic fonts installed in your system).

Now , your system should accept Arabic fonts in most applications (Word Pad, MS Word, Outlook Express and many more. Just select the Arabic text then select the Arabic font to apply,and there you have it, Arabic text on a non-Arabic system.)

Where to go from here? If you want to expand your Arabic beyond the beginners level. I highly recommend you do the following.. Lots of the people who used this tutorial since 1999 till this day were able to improve their Arabic up to an amazing level after participating in an Arabic Language Course in Syria. I was amazed by the level of improvement of all the Americans, Europeans and Asian people after that. For an excellent overview of how, why and where and more details click here. One final and very useful advice.. While learning Arabic or if you are traveling to an Arab country, I suggested getting an Arabic electronic dictionary. I spent some time browsing the Internet looking for a good one. I ended up choosing the Language Teacher by ECTACO. It is like having your own Arabic teacher on the move. It is very well worth its cost. I also highly recommend you check these blogs and websites if you're interested in studying Arabic abroad (which is usually the best way to learn): Arabic Language Center in Damascus University. Syrian Studies Association, University of Oklahoma Learning and Teaching Arabic (Blog). My Adventure in Syria by Bridget (Blog). What expats think about living in Syria. By public demand, I added some recommended books and software on learning Arabic (plus some books on Arab history). If you are interested then do check them out. They are mostly recommended by non-native Arabic language students: Test your Arabic skills..
