Pronunciation is one of the basic components of the conversational skill, as it is the output of the phonetic system of the learned Arabic language, especially in light of what the second language acquisition studies indicate that most of the learners of Arabic from non-native speakers will not control the sound and correct pronunciation of Arabic if they study it after puberty, and there is no doubt that bad pronunciation Confusion or misunderstanding can result in the process of communication, so attention should be paid to this aspect and focus on it from the first day and continue with it through the other levels, and the contemplator of Arabic teaching programs notices the poverty of books and curricula specialized in teaching Arabic from following the Arabic audio lesson far from the first level, and it does not Uncertainty which contributes to learners' weakness of proper pronunciation.

In the audio lesson, the Arabic spelling system should be linked to the reading lesson, and attention should be paid to the main phonetic aspects, the loud and thin letters, and the short and long vowels, as they constitute the most prominent difficulty in the Arabic pronunciation system.
