Spoken Levantine Arabic for the West Bank — tap a stitched circle to hear it, then repeat out loud.
Honest caveat: Safari's built‑in voices read Arabic script using Modern Standard pronunciation rules — so a written ق will always sound like a hard "q," even where West Bank speech would soften it to a glottal stop. Use the audio to lock in the sounds and rhythm of each word; use the transliteration for the actual colloquial pronunciation.
In West Bank city speech, ق usually drops to a glottal stop — the catch in your throat before "uh‑oh."
قال (he said) → 'aal, not qaal
In rural/fellahi speech ك can soften toward "ch." City speech usually keeps the hard "k."
كيف (how) → chif or kif
A breathy "h" made from the throat — like fogging a mirror, not the soft English "h."
مرحبا → mar7aba
