Is it possible to make arabic writing in the lessons bigger without increasing the zoom in the browser itself? The letters are small and difficult to comprehend in details (I never studied arabic alphabet before, these are my first lessons ever).
I'm an arabian , i want to help you, but i don't now how, if you want something please tell me
Our vowels are singns under and above the letters so it's writen ك and when you add َ it becomes كَ and you pronounce it ka or ca
You should report the question and give them this suggestion. But yeah you're completely right.
You should listen carfully , she pronounced 2 R so karrie my be exepted. In arabic language there is no diffrence between ka and ca = كَ
If it was two R sounds then there would be a shadda above it, though it migjt still sounf like theres two Rs.
They shouldn't be because...? Karii and Kari might be a bit too much, but I've definitely seen Karie and Karrie in the wild before.

It's probably not the best choice of names. It's not as common in all English speaking countries perhaps but more importantly it has more spelling variety than more traditional names, which is fine in life but complicates the course a bit much in these early stages and distracts from learning Arabic.
If this is intended to be of any help to complete beginners, the alphabet portion needs to be much more comprehensive. I believe it would be helpful to give the letters and their sounds in order, so that a new learner can see the relationship, based on both shape an sound, that they have to each other. Also, the position of the diacritical markings needs to be addressed, what makes a letter an “ah” or an “ee”, etc. This is so important in the beginning. And yes, I am seeing tiny yellow letters also. There is a HUGE amount of empty white space on the pages, so surely the Arabic print could larger without much effort.
Please make bigger letters. As it is, it's too small for a novice to understand when learning Arabic for the first time :)
There's a small mismatch between the pronunciation and the way the word is written. What the pronouncer is really saying is "كَرّي" with the emphasis diacritic " ّ " over the "r" aka "ر"

Until they accommodate us, I've started using "ctrl +" on my computer to increase the font size and "ctrl 0" to return the font to normal size. It helps a lot.
This group of exercises are not helping me much. The Arabic text is too small for me to read and it's yellow on white. I hear the sound clearly and of course can pick the answer easily but I'm struggling with this format.

Nigel, in the exercises I have there are black letters on a white background, and at the top of this page, the answer is blue on white, because it opens to another page when you click on it. I don't ever remember seeing yellow on white. ??? I do my lessons on a PC. I wonder why yours would be yellow on white.
The arabic characters where you can hover for hints are yellow and very small.

first an foremost -kudos to the Arabic course contributors !!! As it sounds to me like ( phonetic ) kar-ee with an emphasis on the ka syllable can someone native to english correct me if i'm wrong but should it sound like "carry" ?

The name "Carrie" and the verb "carry" sound the same in English. The emphasis is on the first syllable for these words. The Arabic speaker is putting the emphasis on the first syllable also, but is pronouncing two "r"s and trilling, or rolling, the last "r", neither which we do in English. To us, it just sounds like Carrie being said with an accent that is not ours.

Wow this is the first word that came to me in the placement test. Seems unfair since it's not a general noun. I answered 'curry' T_T
What is that first letter? Its either a koff or a kaaf but it doesnt look like either

The first letter is "kaaf" with a "fatHa" over it. It does look very different when it is not connected to any other letters.

There is only one "r" in writing, but while we read, we hear "double" r... It is confusing
Hi In the pronunciation of Carrie it sound like she is rolling her R. Is that the correct way to pronounce it.
I find it impossible to make sense of the tiny Arabic letters in yellow on white. Come on, there is space (on my laptop) for large Arabic letters in black.
i know we havent learned the double letter yet, but would it be more correct to write كَرّي with the ّ above the r?
