Duolingo, I talked about how hard it was to try to learn Mandarin Chinese on the platform. It felt like I went from 0 to 60, and I had a hard time remembering the Chinese characters. Soooo I was (understandably) a little nervous about trying to learn Arabic on Duolingo.Because Arabic uses a different alphabet than English, I was confused about (and interested to see) how Duolingo uses Arabic letters and English letters.“Are they going to dump me in the deep end again?” I wondered.The answer?No!Duolingo Arabic uses both Arabic letters (script) and English letters (Latin alphabet). I personally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that Duolingo has you learn the sounds of letters using English letters, and then vocabulary words in Arabic. Some folks make fun of Duolingo for teaching “nonsense” words, but I prefer it! I felt like I was being onboarded instead of dropkicked into the deep end of a swimming pool.For this question on the Duolingo Arabic app, the app plays a sound or word in Arabic – and then you translate it into English! I’ve found this learning Arabic on Duolingo a lot learn!Okay, so this screenshot shows the reverse of the one before it. The question uses Arabic letters, and plays the sound in Arabic. I then selected my answer that uses English letters. (I image the app stops using English letters eventually, but I haven’t gotten there yet!)Tip #3 for Learning Arabic on Duolingo: How long does it take to complete Arabic on Duolingo?Okay, so I wrote a whole blog post with lots of math on how long it takes to learn a language on Duolingo. In this section, I talk about my own (kind of stunted) progress, as well as sharing some math.For myself, learning Arabic on Duolingo (as a native English speaker) has been extra challenging, because I (perhaps you!) have to learn the Arabic alphabet. (I’ll talk more about tips and strategies I’m using to learn the alphabet further on down.)At time of publishing, there are 3 units for Arabic on Duolingo. It took me a couple of months to get through Unit 1, and now I feel like I’m trudging through mud to get through Unit 2. The difficulty really picked up at the end of Unit 1 for me, aaaaand I also know that I learn through repetition, so I’m repeating lessons and doing a lot

Pinyin, or 'spell sound', is a way of teaching Mandarin Chinese phonetically based on the English alphabet. Use this page to explain Pinyin for children.What is Pinyin?Pinyin, or Hanyu Pinyin, is a system that spells Chinese names and words with the Latin alphabet based on their pronunciation. In Mandarin Chinese, it literally means 'spell sound'. It can be a really useful tool to help you learn the correct pronunciation of Mandarin words. Learning Pinyin will help teach you certain sounds that exist in Mandarin but that don't exist in English. It's used widely for typing and texting and for teaching pronunciation.History of PinyinPinyin began as a way to explain Chinese to Western learners. It wasn’t until the Qing Dynasty that Chinese people then actually started considering adopting a form of spelling in their writing system.It wasn't recognised as a language form by the Chinese government until the 1950s after it became a project headed by Zhou Youguang with a group of linguists. Then it was introduced to schoolchildren to help improve literacy rates and also help standardize the pronunciation of Chinese characters.PinyinThe basic system of Pinyin has initials and finals. Every Mandarin syllable can be spelt with exactly one initial followed by one final. There are different sounds and combinations of letters in Mandarin that don't exist in English, and lots of letters are also pronounced differently than we would expect.There are also four basic tones in Mandarin that help clarify meanings in words. We can see this by accent marks or numbers that show us the tone.What are the Chinese numbers (1-20)?When it comes to learning a new language, you want to have all the fundamentals covered. This includes knowing the numerals in that given language, so you can be more confident in your abilities and strengthen your skill in said language.In China, there are three numerical systems used. One is the Arabic system, the one you’re most familiar with (1, 2, 3 etc). There is also an indigenous system that most Chinese people are familiar with. To help you get started, here are the Chinese numbers between 1

Latin alphabet. It was invented in 1950s, and adopted as a standard in mainland China in 1958. Pinyin is used for several purposes such as: teaching Chinese, transcribing names and places into words accessible to european language speakers, and used as an input method for typing Chinese characters. Pinyin is not the only system devised to transcribe Chinese sounds into roman letters. An older system called Wade-Giles was used in the first half of the 20th century and it has left its mark on the English language. For instance, 功夫 is romanized as "kungfu" in Wade-Giles, but "gongfu" in Pinyin. Also, 北京 (the capital of China) was in the past romanized as "Peking", but is "Beijing" in Pinyin. It is a common misconception that the city changed names, but the sound never changed, only how we spell the sound with letters. The j, q, x vs. zh, ch, sh sounds Native English speakers often have trouble distinguishing between these sounds. For instance, 'x' and 'sh' sound similar to native English ears, but to native Chinese speakers, the sounds are completely different. The tongue and lip positions are very different. For 'sh', the tip of the tongue should be on the roof of the mouth, and 'x' the tip of the tongue should be behind the lower teeth.
