Agreed as well. A problem in other apps too, Arabic at the same point size as latin script is just way too tiny.
I guess that to transcribe the soung "g" which doesn't exist in arabic, we need to use sometimes "ك" (garage كَراج) and sometimes "ج" (Riga ريجا) ?
It depends on the dialect, in some places ج is pronounced like a g (Egypt I think), in others you'd probably use ك since it's the closest. ريجا was a weird one, like many people in the comments pointed out

There is a letter گ that is used in other languages, and I've sometimes seen it used to represent g in proper names, but it's not a sound that natively occurs in Arabic (except for ج in Egyptian, as mentioned)
Please change color from yellow of the new items. It is very hard for visually impaired to see properly
The audio is very synthetic and I don't think it helps. The woman who has done the examples up until now is quite clear maybe another text-to-voice synthesizer could be found to take the load off of her though.
Audio is working for me. (Unless you mean another problem with the audio...?)
My browser allows me set view on 125% and then it is easier to see the letters. It is a work around but it works. I found it impossible to see the fonts on my phone so I moved to my computer.
This has probably been asked elsewhere, but the audio adds an "un" sound to the end of the word, but does not when I open this discussion page and play the audio from here... there is no meaning to this extra syllable correct? It is just an audio bug?
Ah, just learned there is a thing called nunation so there is meaning to the extra sound (some discussion here: https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/32883238)
Is there no a letter in arabic that represents the G (like the first letter in the word garage) sound?
I don't like the way the person says it... Maybe they should add a male speaker or a different speaker which you could switch to
Why does it sound like there is an "un" at the end when there isn't one written?
