Help me pronounce ayn and ghayn

bigbossmatt · 04-05-2007, 09:48 AM

As a native speaker of English, I have trouble pronouncing this. I teach myself and have yet to ever have a native Arabic teacher, maybe one day. I have read very closely and attempted time and time again to pronounce both ayn and ghayn but I do not think I can do it.

I would love to have some discussion about it to clarify how to do it. Ideally, I would fine multiple sound files of both of them being pronounced by native Arabic speakers in many different contexts and parts of words...

Hello bigbossmatt

I am not good in describing how those sounds are made, but the help I can offer is assisting you with prunouncing them. You can add me in msn (just PM me) and we'll see how good you are with 3ayn and ghayn.
