Lesson 4. Making a distinction between س, ص, and ث

Assalam-o-Alykum,

Our next lesson would be to pronounce letters that a technically not differently pronounced in few other languages but Arabic Does make a distinction. 

For those who have urdu as native language, it is very difficult to make a distinction between all three. We have in urdu all these letters but we pronounce them all in the similar way. 

It is important to say them in the way Allah SWT has revealed them in His book. 

س: Just like 's' in English, you say it with slightly opening your mouth like you do when you smile. 

ص: When you say 'sword' in English, the way your mouth looks, this letter has to be pronounced in that way. 

 ث: is from a different family then س and ص. I think it more belongs to the family of ذ, and English pronunciation would be close to 'th' sound with a little bit of air coming out.
