Stephen Rapley notes
This is where I plan a site tracking my learning how to read and write Arabic. It's an attempt to integrate the blog with learning a language.
The plan is to develop over time:
- an index page - aka 'contents'
- introduction -
- explaining my aims to illuminate the selection of material included
- the language - who speaks it where, history of the language
- structure
- script - evolution & forms etc
- pointers to Arabic script and computers, html etc
- the letters
- working through each of the 29 letters of the Arabic alphabet and the assorted diacritics - most likely in an order starting with baa', taa', thaa', nuun, yaa', 'alif, hamza and waw.
- each page would focus on one letter, indicate the qualities of the letter, its different forms - initial, medial, final and isolated - and perhaps diiferent styles and possibly handwritten renditions of the letter.
- pronunciation - via sound files and IPA symbols
- vocabulary
- start capturing new words encountered during studies.
- organised by letter - perhaps with note about when, context ect if possible.
- sources
- glossary
- grammar
