The linguistic sounds in general and the Arabic sounds in particular

 

The linguistic sounds in general and the Arabic sounds in particular are the first building block in the formation of the linguistic structure for any student, and since the sound (pronunciation of the letter)is the first thing that meets the learner of the non-speaking Arabic language, it is the first simple educational process that the learner meets when studying the Arabic language

 

It is a process, although it is easy in essence, but it is very important, especially for children, as it is the unit of construction of the first language and the first oral expression of the language in general.

 

The pronunciation of the letters varies from one student to another, there is a student who can understand and pronounce the Arabic letters very easily, and this is due to several factors, the most important of which is the influence of the student’s mother tongue in Arabic, so the student can reach and navigate in the pronunciation of Arabic sounds without hindrance, especially the guttural letters, which represent a prominent obstacle for most non-native Arabic language students (E-H-H-G-G), as the pronunciation of these letters requires continuous and serious training, especially if the student has a native language unaffected by the Arabic language.

 

As for the case when the student’s first language is affected by the Arabic language in the first place, it seems easier for the student and the teacher, as it does not need much effort.

 

As for non-native Arabic students whose first language has not been affected by the Arabic language, even in the narrowest limits, they need systematic training that is not simple, as they find it very difficult to pronounce the sounds of the Arabic language correctly, especially the vowels that we have mentioned, it takes more time, effort and a curriculum that is a specialized preparation for such kind of students.

 

We cannot fail here to explain that starting to learn the pronunciation of sounds is a method of learning the Arabic language for non-native speakers called the partial method, as the student begins to learn sounds, then similar sounds, then differentiate between them, then learn vocabulary and the difference between them in meaning, then simple sentences, the more complex sentences, and so on.

 

The partial method is important and simple, but it needs patience from the learner so that he can find the fruit of his learning over time, so he can structure sentences and communicate with others correctly.

 

It is also worth mentioning that the teacher conjures the first language of the learner when teaching the sounds of the Arabic language to non-native speakers, and he has to compare the sounds between the two languages to learn the correct and direct input to indoctrinate and train the student correctly, as an example, if we want to train the student on the letter Z (Z), we have to look in his native language for the nearest letter that resembles the letter Z in the Arabic language and refer to it when the student first finds it difficult to pronounce the Arabic letter correctly,conjuring the sounds of the native language saves time and effort for both the learner and the teacher to facilitate the idea and train on it.

 

It makes it easier for the student of the Arabic language for non-native speakers when learning Arabic sounds, the teacher should not burden him with training and turn to ease and ease for the student, so he does not teach him more than one letter at a time, and the teacher should not move on to learning another sound unless the student has mastered the pronunciation of the first letter and distinguish it from similar sounds in the same language, for example, when the teacher teaches the letter Y(R), the teacher does not move on to teach the student another sound until he has mastered the pronunciation of the letter Y and the practice of words with the letter Y in different cases with and even the comparison between the letter Y and other letters similar to it, such as the letter X (X), the mastery of pronunciation Arabic sounds is the first way to master the Arabic language and therefore.

 

The interest of the student or teacher in the pronunciation of sounds is not a matter of linguistic luxury, but is the basis of learning the Arabic language.

 

It is not possible to describe a person as a master of the Arabic language, especially non-native speakers, unless this person has mastered the pronunciation of Arabic sounds correctly in all cases.

 

Therefore, any Arab person can realize that the person in front of him is not fluent in Arabic by just pronouncing the sounds first, everyone who does not improve the pronunciation of Arabic sounds is referred to as Ajmi until he masters the pronunciation of sounds, especially the guttural letters that need to be trained or pronounce the inflated letters such as hunting, light and.

 

In conclusion, even for the length of the article, learning to pronounce sounds is the cornerstone of learning languages in general and the Arabic language in particular, the original in languages is pronunciation and speaking so that the Arabic language is a language of communication between millions around the world in a clear way
