Alphabet and translations

andrea44 · **Alphabet and translations -** 11-11-2007

what is the different between

and

?

Is it a male/female thing like you say one thing to a male and another to a female?

Also, to learn Arabic what is a good site?
Why aren't the letters like A-Z straightforward since the numbers seem to much more simpler to learn?

Second Wa before the same as before.

Dear andrea44,
I dont know exactly what u mean by they are not straightforward! But you you mean they are not sequent, then they are straightforward like A-Z.

Arabic is a very very rich and a massive language. It is not easy to learn any language, except French that is very close to English, but I think learning Arabic will be fun if you have the motive.

The big difference that makes Arabic a unique language, is its massiveness. Words in Arabic have many many countless sheds of meanings. This makes Arabic a really unsurpassed language.
