alif - ba - ta - tha - djim - ha - kha dal - dhal - ra - zay - sim - shim - saad daad - taa - thaa - a'y'n - gha'yn - fa - qa'f kaf - lam - mim - nun - waw - ha - lam alif hamza - ya |

Watch this over and over again. Notice the pattern. Just keep watching.

Date: October 12th, 2017 5:00 AM Author: Cracking marketing idea elastic band I can get about 70 percent of the letters right but my understanding of what I've deciphered is more limited - I usually need to be already familiar with the vocabulary.
A fun thing to do is be driven around by Uber when I'm out shopping, or with some dude I'm hooking up with, and read the signs on shops and restaurants that we pass by. |

Date: October 12th, 2017 8:12 AM Author: Sapphire hairraiser church I could do this. I taught myself to transliterate arabic characters into western alphabet before I went to the Middle East for the first time. Even though I didn't know much Arabic vocab it was fun to to be to read the signs (and prices written in arabic numbers) and see which ones work well in Arabic script - Coca Cola is a good example.

Date: October 12th, 2017 8:21 AM Author: Cracking marketing idea elastic band "Subway" in Arabic features the letter "y" which in terminal form looks a lot like S so it makes for interesting signage. We also have a supermarket chain called Lulu and that is very pretty in Arabic.
The initial/medial/terminal letter thing is tough at first too. |

Date: October 12th, 2017 8:29 AM Author: Sapphire hairraiser church Yes having to learn up to four different forms of the same letter was challenging but there's certain patterns groups of letters take and the variants are usually closely related.
Then there are the way they have special characters for common letter combinations, like "la".
PS: yes lulu would look good. |

Date: October 12th, 2017 8:38 AM Author: Cracking marketing idea elastic band Right, a lot of the forms are easy to discern.
Have you seen Arabic calligraphy? Some amazing calligraphy they have. |
