In this type of excercises it would be nice to hear the pronuntiation once the answer has been selected.

Yes, HiMeCriss. But in the audio the 3 is hardly pronounced at all. I'd like to know how live Arabs say it.
2a is just a vowel following a glottal stop, so it should be just like starting a vowel from silence (ie. like the a in arm, and the e in exit) - or at least that's how I was taught.
It's a little more complicated when ء is in the middle of a word. You should just try to close your throat, and afterwards you pronounce the vowel.
3a I would describe like moaning with your throat closed.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.
Literally, something like 'at' but it also denotes an ownership - literally 'At Omar an Omani door'
Yes, but I am still anxiously waiting to see whether the same sort of 'having' is denoted by both forms. Does one use the same form or forms in Arabic to express I have a car , I have a headache and I have a hand/brain/soul? (Alienable vs. Inalienable Possession)
I keep getting messages I have a typo, but I have the right letters, just without the marks above them. How do we add those?
On the keyboard I am using, the diacritics (the marks) are situated on the first and second row. They can be typed by holding Shift key. The diacritic for doubling a consonant ( ّ ) is found in the top left corner, also hold Shift key to type it.

Duolingo on the computer is not showing the correct forms of the letters at the beginning/middle of words. It always shows the form at the end. This is confusing. Is it some sort of technical limitation?
But I would more prefer if the placement of the words is made clear in different sentences
