Jeem in its four shapes
Arabic letters hold hands with their neighbours, so ج changes its look a little depending on where it sits in a word. Tap a shape to hear the letter.
ja, ji, ju: Jeem with harakat
Add a little vowel mark and ج becomes a sound you can say. Fatha on top says a, kasra underneath says i, and damma on top says u. Tap each one.
Coral = fatha (a), blue = kasra (i), green = damma (u). How harakat work →
