It's a workaround, but I increased the magnification of the whole page until the biggest where I had the whole question in one screen. Chrome has actually remembered to increase the Duolingo lesson pages sizes, but not other webpages.
How are we supposed to know vocab??? That was never taught whatsoever. Is this supposed to be trial and error?

You mouse over any underlined word and it will tell you the definition. The first time they appear they're highlighted in orange.
Hage you continued? Im completely lost. Wondering if there is light at the end of the chapter
How are we supposed to have the alphabet memorized this quickly + the words we were introduced to in the same lesson?
Whenever the course is too fast for you, you can choose to do excercise training instead of proceeding with a new lesson. Then it will show you repetition excercises.

asleinbe, Slayer567229:
If you mean the "adjective" is نعت "na3at" (attributive adj.) such as in the phrase above, the answer is: yes, the adjective should follow the noun.
So this big step from alphabet to knowing the words what they mean and how they are written...haven't expect this and I'm so confused and stucked on this level for some time...help!
Was very motivated to learn like others untill this chapter. Absolutely no idea, such a shame but i dont think i could continue. Absolutely no way tom learn by guessing
It happened same with chinese.. its already a complicated language.. then they just expect you to know stuff.. it got too tough
The alphabets and sounds are being practised, and it jumps to word meaning? There seems to be a missing link

Slayer567229,
There is some tips in each opening lesson. Some words are explained there. But, we can see the tips only from our web browser app.
Is there some rules on how loan words are written? The first "a" sound in both كراج and جَاكيت sound short vowels to me, but in 'garage' it's omitted while in 'jacket' not. I'm so confused!

dreifius,
The ruling for loan words depends on how Arabs speak, ie. their tongues. For example, Arabs can't spell "P" well, they find it too difficult so they use "B". This ruling is also implied in short or long sounds.
there are 28 letters in arabic. of those 28, several have up to 4 different versions. people are complaining because we haven't even learned more than 2 versions of only 10 of those letters. People are complaining because they taught us "a, g, l, and x" and expect us to know what "watermelon" means.
Can the mark(sorry I don't know the actual term) between the م's be omitted?
I'm certainly not an expert, but I believe that mark (which resembles a minature "uu" sound in Arabic) is necessary for the shorter "u" sound in mumtaaz (the first vowel in the word).

neil_05, ElizabetsyD:
About "mark", do you mean the diacritics or Harakaat, such as on مُ? Yes, we may omit it and the word will look like follows: ممتاز. In Arabic, diacritics are not a must as long as we can read the word correctly.
The complete Harakaat will be: مُمْتَازٌ.
Suddenly it became too difficult, it's almost trial an error!! No motivation to continue...

nazrin,
1) Substansive | Which is described | man3ut منعوت
then
2) Attributive adjective | Which describes | na3at نعت
yeh make it bigger i want to write it down in my notebook so i can remember but i have to bring my phone up into my eye

SovietYuki,
In Arabic, ممتاز is the attributive adj. of جاكيت, and should be put after the جاكيت, which the attributive adj. describes.
So...
جاكيتٌ ممتازٌ
i dont even know whos goona be the first, its the substantive or the adjective?

Here جاكيت is pronounced as if it was written جاكَيت but in other exercises it's pronounced like جاكْيت. I suspect the right pronunciation should be the English pronunciation with an Arabic accent!
The audio robot often seems to interpret wrongly what is written (probably because the short vowels and similar diacritic signs are not written in daily life) and it's very confusing.
because the "damma" on top of the first "m" is missing, look: مُمتاز it turns the "ma" into a "mu".
Using an arabic keyboard on iPad, I cannot find that damma. Can you tell us where it is ? Please Amingraphy
- 291
Amingraphy, it should be correct! You can report it. Damma over the "m", مُ, is not a must to be written.
From English to Arabic why is it translated to Jacket Amazing instead of Amazing Jacket??

Jesus_ismy_Rock,
In terms of the substansive ("Jacket") and its attributive adj. ("Amazing"), Arabic works as the opposite of English.
I thought arabic you write from right to left just like the holy books at the mosque
