    Fun fact: dots on letters didn't exist previously and many letters looked identical; you were supposed to know the sound they make using context... dots were added just to accommodate learning Arabic for foreigners after the spread of Islam. Same story with the diacritics.
    That aside... I appreciate that you're trying to learn Arabic, and I assure you that you will get many natives surprised (perhaps making backflips of joy)

      No, it's not further back. Depending on dialect it's the exact same sound or actually further forward in the throat.
      The Arabic sound varies between being made at the soft palate like "K" or at the uvula like ق while the French "R" is only made at the uvula and it may be devoiced under certain situations making it sound like خ.

    Yeah and theres so many accents.
    But the letters were easy for me because my own languages urdu is derived from arabic Persian,english and hindi lol.
    And we have more alphabets than arabic.
    We have the stronger accented d and r and t meanwhile arabic has soft ones.
    We have ch and va arabic doesn't.
    And we have "p" as well .
    I hope you've learned it by now 😂.

    As a speaker of the Arabic language, I can tell you that it is really difficult, even for native speakers, to the point that there are Arab people who cannot pronounce all the letters and their 112 phonemes professionally. And here you are talking about letters only, what do you think about grammar, morphology, and hidden pronouns? These are really difficult and difficult even for the Arabs themselves. Therefore, after all this, you find us learning letters and sounds from any language easily, such as nasal letters and letters that we never pronounce, but when we hear them for the first time, we can say them perfectly.

      The jeem letter is pronounced G in most of Egypt (not even all of Egypt) but who are we to say what's correct?

Now if you really wanna go back like waaaay back the original Alfro-Asiatic (and proto-Semitic of course) sound for this letter was in fact G as it is in Babylonian, Phoenitian, Old Egyptian, Amharic etc. so...... Who's right, the Egyptians who stuck to the more archaic variant, the collonized countries that pronounce it like the French "j", the Khalijis, Iraqis, Kuwaitis and others who pronounce it closest to Qur'anic tajweed pronunciation or or or... The "standardized" jeem is a thing just because most of the Qur'an was revealed in the dialect of the Quraysh who pronounced it like that and they were just one tribe out od hundreds? Yeah........

    lmao i laughed my ass of watching this vid. I'm an israeli palestinan (native language is arabic) and I can understand your frustration! I feel like we arabs ourselves also struggled learning the language growing up, especially with grammar ( one would find "E3rab" hard even if they're in high school). Good luck on your hard yet satisfying journey learning one of the most beautiful languages ever.

    Being a Muslim myself from a non Arab country who happened to learn Arabic alphabets at a very young age, I must admit that some Arabic alphabets are difficult to pronounce 😁, i remember when I learned how to pronounce ع it took me 4 months to pronounce it correctly 🤣

    Arabic was a lingua franca between many nation including Europe. No one complained. It's not difficult, it is like every language need hard working.
