Learning a Language has always been beneficial and feeds
\nits learner with strength, as it helps improve his\/her knowledge, and upgrade
\nhis\/her memory and brain function. Each language that is spoken in this world
\nadds value to its speaker. Now when talking about the Arabic language with its
\nhuge encyclopedia and rich dictionary with around twelve million words, imagine
\nhow big it can impact your brain as challenging as it might seem but it is
\neasier than it sounds, especially if you go through the language letter by
\nletter with the help of Kaleela.  <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

A learner should know it is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet. It is called
\nAlif (\u0627\u0644\u0641<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>). In addition, the letter \u0627<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/b>is one of the Arabic
\nletters that can be either a vowel or a consonant<\/span> <\/span>in the Arabic language, which indicates that it is a multitasking letter
\nin the Arabic language. Everything you need to know about the letter Alif will be demonstrated later on<\/span> <\/span>In this blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span>


<\/span><\/p>\n

The shape of the letter <\/span>Alif changes depending on where it appears in a word.
\nWhether it comes at the beginning of the word (initial), middle of the word
\n(medial),<\/span><\/span> <\/span>or ending
\nof the word (final). But firstly, a person should know that when it is standing
\nalone, it is written like this: \u0627<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>.
\nTo write it, all you need to do is draw a straight line from top to bottom. Let
\nus get to know more about the shapes of the letter Alif with some examples.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\nis not connected. As in:<\/p>\n

\u0641\u0631<\/span>\u0627<\/span>\u0648\u0644\u0629     <\/span><\/span>\/farawlah\/<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

_______________________________________________________________<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Note that
\n<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span><\/b>The letter \u0627<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/b>might be either a consonant or
\na vowel. <\/b>An important symbol you should know is Hamza<\/span> “\u0621<\/b>.” W<\/span>hen you draw it,
\nyou need to <\/span>make a small inverted 2 on top of the Alif. Let us look at how to differentiate between the consonant Alif and the vowel Alif.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consonant: When \u0623<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> comes with the mark Hamza “\u0621<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>”
\non top. It sounds like a short \u201ca\u201d as in apple. Let us see how it is in Arabic.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\nthe middle without the mark Hamza “\u0621<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>”
\non top. And it sounds like a long \u201caa\u201d as in fat.  Let us see how it is in
\nArabic.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
