Thanks for your post. I feel that this is a little bit too quick of an "advancement" at this stage of the lessons.

It's not that difficult and it actually adds some spice to the process. The only problem is that the words were not introduced first. And since google translate was not helpful in this case, one is left with blind clicking.
Should there not be english to arabic vocan taught before sentences and phrases are taught?

Vocan, words, phrases, sentences seem a good progression. Words have been skipped in this case.
Need to learn meaning of words a few times before using them like this. Meaning was only given the once and cant recall from then
I have forgotten exactly but a bit like in english we use 'a' or 'an' before a word. It is a different ending for his, hers, i, and you too ... you will start to work it out. Defo worth sticking with even though the word and sentences seem so random at the start.
That is the "un" i meant... sorry if i am misunderstanding. This is what i found that explained it...
un indicates that the noun is indefinite and nominative. Roughly speaking it's equivalent to saying "A house [rest of sentence]."
Well, what do u expect for Duolingo to be excellent at every languages, and actually, there can be different ways of pronouncing it or wording it. Not trying to be rude by the way.
Seem like im not the only one who has problems with font size and no audio. If we all keep mass reporting it maybe it will be fixed /quicker.
Yes, so please let's mass REPORT instead of mass COMMENTING. It's kind of annoying when you go to the comments page to learn more from the good comments and first you have to scroll over dozens of identical complaints. There's also the upvote button which allows you show your support for a comment without writing the same yourself.

Like other languages in Duo. Could you also include the spoken translation here. It does help me, so I can understand what I did wrong.
Lunbergh: "Yeah and if you could go ahead and make the fonts bigger, that'd be great."
how are we suposed to know the order if its not explained firt? also we would nee some vocabulary as ell to know that. I believe this is called syntax
I get really confused with how the orientation of words are i know Arabic is read from right to left but i got the phrase wrong because my answers were switched
We seen those words but they weren't the main focus back then. You have to pay attention with every lesson not just on the main thing but also on the extra in the questions.
The question was to write about" a new door" I wrote in correct order but still it was opposite order
Grammar just differs among languages, don't be surprised to learn that word order differs in English and Arabic.
I had to look in the dictionary for the word for "new" I have NOT learned this word in your lessons.
I have completed to level 5 in all the previous lessons but am still struggling with 'a new husband' etc. In order to build up the vocab in Italian they had the word and four possible pictures. That's how I built up the vocab in Italian. I'm a year in so don't need this anymore but it was so hopeful in the early stages. Please could this be included for Arabic?

I am pretty new to this, not sure how to proceed with my question correctly, When we pronounce "a door" in Arabic as per the spelling it "Bab". While pronouncing "A new door" I thought the pronunciation would be "bab jadid", but its being pronounced as "babn jadidh". Any specific format is followed for this varied pronunciation?
A little bit difficult to understand, why is it written as "door new" in Arabic?
I got this wrong, i think it is good they are progressing fast because we already covered the sounds and letters in the bbefore activities, but it is a shame i got it wrong.
