Common Mistakes: Numbers
Some English sounds don’t exist in Arabic, so children often get them wrong. Here’s how to help:
It starts with a soft “th”: the tongue between the teeth.
V is not F. Top teeth on the lower lip, with a buzzing voice.
The gh is silent: “ate”.
Don’t drop I’m: it means “I am”.
