This word was just thrown on me with an expectation that i could just guess correctly the meaning.
Any time you see a yellow word, that means it's new. You have the ability to click the word and the meaning will appear.
I didnt know that thanks. I had just been guessing what the heck it meant. I remembered some words from when I was deployed to Iraq but for the most part I was lost Lol.
I have nowhere else to say this but I think new letters should first be introduced in their "isolated form" before showing them as part of words.
They have been showing words thet pronounce phonetically to their english translation. I wasnt expect "baat" (arabic sound) to mean "a door". I tried pressing rhe yellow arabic word but no translation was given.

So is the takeaway here that some words are the exact same in Arabic? Because this is the first that has had a different meaning and I feel like this was misleading
Is this app for learning or checking? I dont know how to learn languages here
This is supposed to be a learning resource! All it had taught me thus far is sounds and I'm suddenly supposed to guess words out of the blue that i haven't had the opportunity to learn? That makes no sense

You are not expected to guess the meaning of words. When you put your cursor over the words, you will see the translation. In the alphabet sections where pronunciation is being taught, no translations are given, however.

Based on your comment, I googled and found out that Bab Al-Hara is a Syrian TV series. I watched the first episode on YouTube and enjoyed it. The acting and cinematography were very good and the sets were beautiful. The only problem was that the YouTube video I chose to watch said that it had an English translation but it did not, so I could not understand much of what was going on, but I did get the main gist. I plan to watch it again.
Why are they not teaching us what the words in arabic mean that we are learning to read? I am learning to read words but they dont tell me what the wordz mean, and then ask me later to translate a sentence!
Okay I don't get how it's door. I got it right, but it's baab isn't it?
If it was door, would it use the "uu" sound for the middle rather than A?
Exactly if they included photos it would be easier. I know u can see what it means but in science the teacher said u learn it easier with pictures
How was i supposed to know that it didnt even give me anything to go on
There should be a lesson on meanings of words first! This word came out of nowhere and confounded me.
Really annoying...after learning sounds you are asked to "write this in english" like before and you are looking for BAAB but no, you actually have to know the meaning! So missleading... ;/
I was shocked. This is the first word that appeared in the quiz which most of the new students (like me especially those have zero background) finds it difficult. Good thing that I had background in Arabic language when I was 12 y/o.
I don't know the meaning of Arabic words then how can I complete the lessons...
I actually inly knew this because 15 years ago I tried to learn Arabic with a book for kids.
