Volume 1
Read and translate sentences that combine verbs with attached object pronouns (found it, beat him, broke it) and introduce new nouns and colours: horse, cow, cup, bread, milk, green and white.
Why do words end with “-un”?
The -un ending is called tanween (nunation). It marks indefinite nouns — similar to “a/an” in English.
To find the base word, simply remove the final “-un” sound (the double-stacked damma بٌ on the last letter).
Type your translation, then check it. Spelling and vowel marks are graded leniently.
