Sounds like you know the subject, maybe you could explain a bit more. I'm confused as to why formatting the text without linked letters would prevent you from learning the sounds. In most languages cursive (linked letters) is not obligatory, and people learn the sounds before cursive. Why would that be a problem in Arabic?
- 42772827 2y agoIt’s not that it will prevent you from learning the sounds themselves, it’s that it will take you longer to learn to read Arabic text that you’ve never encountered before. Part of what makes language learning difficult is the perceived lack of progress. The only way to overcome this is to ensure that your learning is as efficient as possible. That means using as few “intermediate representations” as possible — they take time to learn and, even worse, they take time to unlearn.
