First Readings: Set 4

This advanced beginner set dives deeper into the visual aspects of Arabic script, exploring a wider range of ligatures, handwriting styles, and typographies used in print and digital Arabic, helping learners read confidently across different formats.

It also includes a clear and practical explanation of the hamza (ء)—its forms, placements, and how it behaves with other letters—something that often confuses learners.

This set focuses on Arabic culture and each article includes transcription and English translation.
