The Audio says "haarfaard jaami3atan 2amriikiyyatan". Shouldn't it be "haarfaard jaami3atun 2amriikiyya"?
It definitely should. For some reason the TTS keeps pronouncing the accusative ending -an instead of the nominative ending -un, I've seen it in dozens of sentences now.
Dude, how small are those letters, I can't tell if it's an R or Z in Harvard (hazvazd)
I surely need glasses, but also probably a magnifier
Yes, I agree with. I'm hopeful it will be fixed since the course is still in beta right now

I have the same problem. I have been holding down the control key on my computer and hitting the + key until it becomes clear.
Man this is my main problem with arabic right now. I always need to force my eyes to read those letters
Apparently you can use the "new" letter "ڤ" for the sound /v/. You also find "Harvard" written as هارڤرد.
I guess because 'f' is a slightly better match for the sound 'v' than 'w' would be. 'Haarfaard' is a little better than 'Haarwaard'
What MarksAaron said. V and F are almost the same phonetically, the main difference is that V is voiced while F is not.
That's a different sentence; in "Harvard is an American university," the subject is "Harvard," while in the sentence you gave, the subject is "Harvard University." So the former sentence is structured as subject-verb-adjective-noun, whereas the latter is structured as subject-verb-adjective.
