I&#x27;m going to be a sour horse, and I apologize, because it looks like much effort went into this project.<p>Is this meant as a romanization method, such as ローマ字ーー> &#x27;romaji&#x2F;roumaji&#x27; or as a way to have &quot;more correct&quot; pronunciation for learners?<p>I hold a firm belief that romanization is terrible for learning a language. It is counter productive (less inclination to learn the proper writing system(s)), leads to incorrect pronunciations more often than not, and there are always competing standards - so two people may learn two different ways to romanize a word, which can be a problem for homophones.<p>To at least try and give <i>some</i> constructive feedback, use of IPA [0] would be beneficial for reinforcing pronunciations.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;International_Phonetic_Alphabet" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;International_Phonetic_Alphabe...</a>

I spent a stint learning Arabic and I think learning the alphabet is the easy part. Learning the grammar and building working vocab is harder. I think learning the Arabic alphabet makes it easier to pick up Arabic. It has the beautiful property that is a phonetic language so no guessing how to pronounce words one the alphabet is learned

Hi,<p>This is Sami. I developed this comprehensive writing system of Arabic in Latin alphabet to help Arabic learners esp. beginners to improve their reading and writing skills in Arabic without the immediate need to be familiar with the Arabic script.<p>Please try it out and let me know what you think in the comments below.<p>Looking forward to your valuable feedback.
