Hey Marie,

Thanks! And apologies for the inconsistencies. I started making this course a while ago with the help of a native speaker and sadly never got around to finishing it.

The Latin transcription is not based on an official system - it is simply a rough approximation of how the words sound to an English native speaker. I made the course when I was volunteering with Syrians to make it easier for myself and other volunteers to pick up some basic Arabic without having to study the alphabet etc, hence the basic transcription. This means that I’m unfortunately unable to fix the examples you cited in levels 3 and 8. Could you tell me the correct forms? Then I can fix the problem.

I thought I had included Arabic/Latin script alternatives for all words in the first 13 levels (excluding level 10), but you’re right - several are missing. I have now included them so either form should be accepted for all of those levels - let me know if you still have issues.

I recently met a Syrian guy where I live and I’m going to see if he is willing to help complete the course. So potentially you’ll see some improvements in the coming weeks.
