Jonne...I was talking to Asminha yesterday about my difficulty in knowing when it is ALEF or EIN as in ARABIA,ALI etc..
Problem is, lately I am not listening to people talking, and second ..I should memorize such sounds equivalent to certain words. As you are also a latin aphabet speaker, maybe you can give me a hint how you learned it.
The fact is...I was reading yesterday, EIN sound has no equivalent in latin alphabet but is something which comes out of the arabs throat. I wonder when this sounds comes out...is so so similiar to which vowel. Notice...I KNOW THERE IS NO SOUND TO DESCRIBE IT but it must have a similarity even it is far to compare.
