What is the difference in pronunciation and usage of the different forms of "your name" that we've learnt?
- اِسْمَك
- اِسْمِك
- اسْمِك
As far as I can tell, they all mean "your name" so I'm not sure what the difference is?

One difference would be the gender of whom you are talking to with the diacritic below producing a short i sound as would be said to a female. The diacritic above would be a short a sound as would be said to a male. I'm still learning a lot, so that's the best answer I have with my limited knowledge.

I think the possessive form they've been using is the one in Egyptian Arabic. But as the course is more or less supposed to be in MSA, they should probably change it.
