Your native language (العربية) quietly pushes you into specific Irish errors. Here are the ones to watch — and the fix for each. This is exactly how WordSlick coaches you, every day.
See my full report & start free →Classical Arabic opens with the verb (kataba l-waladu) and so does Irish: "Cheannaigh Seán teach". You skip the single hardest structural change European learners face.
"huwa ṭabīb" needs no verb; Irish adds a small copula but keeps the shape: "Is dochtúir é". States and places switch to tá: "Tá sé sa bhaile".
Arabic has no verb "to have" and neither does Irish — both stand the thing beside the person. Feelings work identically: "Tá ocras orm".
"bāb al-bayt" and "doras an tí" build possession the same way: thing first, owner second, one article only. Irish also reshapes the owner and often softens its first letter.
You already accept that al- reshapes the next sound (ash-shams). Irish goes further and writes the change down: "an bhean", "ar an mbord", "i nGaillimh".
The tongue-back posture of ṣ and ṭ is close to an Irish broad consonant, and plain s and t to a slender one. Use that feel to hear "bó" against "beo".
