      It's not an uvular letter though, it's pharyngeal (to epiglottal in some places). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayin#Arabic_%CA%BFayn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayin#Arabic_%CA%BFayn

      True, she struggled with that part, but that technique of limiting the airflow by hand works and gives you a good feel on how to pronounce it.

    I was a bit confused with it being called a consonant. After some research, although I had a flawed understanding of vowels and consonants, I think it's classified as a semivowel.
